Table alignment

By default, the table is aligned to the left edge of the document. The left indent is derived from the paragraph after which the table is located.

To change the way the table is aligned and indented, follow these steps:

1.Place the cursor in any cell of the table or select any element of the table/the entire table.

2.Open the table settings window in one of the following ways:

•On the Home tab, in the Table group, click  Table settings.

•Right-click to open the context menu and run the Table settings command.

•When working in macOS, run the Format > Table > Table settings command from the command menu.

3.In the Table settings dialog box, select an alignment method: Align left, Align center, or Align right.

4.If the table is aligned to the left, specify the distance from the left margin of the document to the table in the Left indent field.

5.Click OK.
