How to remove indent in table cell from Excel
I copied part of an XLS spreadsheet to create a Word table. The text in many
cells is indented in the original, but I need to make these flush left within the cell. But I can't find a place within Word where this indent is shown: it's not in the table cell specs nor in the paragraph definition. Is there a way to unindent? My purpose is to do this within VBA, in case that changes the answer. -- Christopher Brewster Lockheed Martin, Eagan MN Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...neral/200911/1 |

How to remove indent in table cell from Excel
Thanks, but that doesn't get rid of the inherited indents-- it only gets rid
of the cell padding. As I said, I was unable to get rid of the indents using the Table Properties dialog. Something in the text from Excel carries an indent with it, but I can't find any way that it's defined within Word. If you make a test worksheet in Excel and use the indent button on a few cells (use different indents in different cells to make it conspcuous), then import it to Word, I think you'll see the effect I mean.

How to remove indent in table cell from Excel
I found the specification that applies. It's in Format Paragraph, under
Indentation: the "Special" box says "1st Line" or "Hanging". This is what needs to be 0. -- Christopher Brewster Lockheed Martin, Eagan MN Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...neral/200911/1 |
