Styles in table inherit indent from Normal, incorrectly
My normal text is indented, but style intended for table cells have no indent.
The table styles are *not* based on Normal, but they keep getting the Normal indent. Then I override the indent, but the style is now one of those annoying qualified styles. Any idea why the table picks this up? -- Christopher Brewster Lockheed Martin, Eagan MN Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...ables/200710/1 |

Styles in table inherit indent from Normal, incorrectly
Since virtually all styles in Word are based on Normal, they will inherit
its formatting (see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...sCascade.html). This is why it is preferable to leave Normal alone (except for certain very basic modifications, such as base font) and instead use another style, such as Body Text, for body text (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...odyStyles.htm). -- Suzanne S.

Also note the special relationship between font formatting in table cells
and the Normal style. See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/tablestyles/index.html. The fix is to apply paragraph styles (other than Normal) to the contents of the table cells. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Styles in table inherit indent from Normal, incorrectly
I got better control over the table styles, and followed your suggestion. But
there are still hidden dependencies that I can't untangle: - In the column that has only the step number, I use a style called "Step Number" (surprise). In the next column I use Table Text. Then in a completely separate table, the Table Text paragraphs became numbered. This is a style that happens to be in another table, in another column, and it somehow inherited the numbering. So I saved the text and reconstructed that table. - My Step Number style insists on having a tab after it. I've followed every lead I can find to omit this, and it's always there. The tab prevents the number from being centered-- not too serious, but I don't like to settle for something I didn't intend. Thanks for the responses.

The only way to get the option to remove the tab following a number is to
use an outline-numbered list. You can then choose to follow the number with a tab, a space, or nothing. -- Suzanne S.
