Finding left edge of a Table

[John]

I'm adding columns to a table via C# addin. I want to
test to see if the right edge of the table is beyond the
right margin. I can add the width of all the columns and
add this sum to the left position of the table.

How do I find the left position of the table?

Thank you,
John

Hi John,

If you're talking about the border, and not the text in the
table:

ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Rows.LeftIndent +
ActiveDocument.PageSetup.LeftMargin -
ActiveDocument.Tables(1).LeftPadding
