Center Formating is Offset Sloth 05.07.2006 19:40:02 When I go to "Table Properties" and change the alignment to "center" the table shifts too far to the right. Why won't it center evenly on the page?

Re: Center Formating is Offset "macropod" <invalid[ at ]invalid.invalid> 05.07.2006 23:27:11 Hi Sloth, When cantered, tables are cantered between the print margins. If your left & right margins are uneven, or you've got a margin gutter, your print margins will likely be uneven, so the table won't be cantered on the page - and neither will anything else.

Re: Center Formating is Offset Sloth 06.07.2006 13:42:02 I've set the margins in page setup to be 0.75 for left and right. When I center the table, the margins of the table become 7/8 and 5/8. All my text before and after the table is centered correctly, and has the correct margins.

Re: Center Formating is Offset Sloth 06.07.2006 21:19:01 no. when I click "center" the indent section is greyed out. I found a work around be setting the table properties to "Left", and manually set the column widths (1,3.25, and 2.75) to fill the page up to the margins. This effectively centers the table, but I would have prefered to not do that. "Suzanne S.
