Setting left indent of Word.Table

[Garrold]

Hi all, hope someone can help with this.

I'm doing a mail merge with some data from a database and a word
document template. I'm replacing bookmarks in the template with the
data. The whole document template is set with a left indent of 0.5cm,
but when I add a table to the document, the indent gets ignored. I've
tried adding

Word.Table oTable;
Word.Range wrdRange;

(WordDocument is part of my base class, representing the
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document)

wrdRange = WordDocument.Bookmarks.get_Item(ref oBookmark).Range;
oTable = WordDocument.Tables.Add(wrdRange, intRows, 5, ref oMissing,
ref oMissing);
oTable.Range.ParagraphFormat.LeftIndent = 0.5F;

but this does not fix the problem.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Gaz

Hi Garrold,

oTable.Rows.LeftIndent = CentimetersToPoints(0.5)

The table "measures" from the margin and doesn't "look" at paragraph
indenting. If the entire document has this indent, why not change the
margin?
