SetLeftIndent Method

See Also         Example         Applies To

Sets the indentation for a row or rows in a table.

Syntax

expression.SetLeftIndent(LeftIndent, RulerStyle)

expression   Required. An expression that returns a Row or Rows object.

LeftIndent   Required Single. The distance (in points) between the current left edge of the specified row or rows and the desired left edge.

RulerStyle   Required Long. Controls the way Word adjusts the table when the left indent is changed. Can be one of the following WdRulerStyle constants.

Constant Description
wdAdjustFirstColumn Adjusts the left edge of the first column only, preserving the positions of the other columns and the right edge of the table.
wdAdjustNone Adjusts the left edge of row or rows, preserving the width of all columns by shifting them to the left or right. This is the default value.
wdAdjustProportional Adjusts the left edge of the first column, preserving the position of the right edge of the table by proportionally adjusting the widths of all the cells in the specified row or rows.
wdAdjustSameWidth Adjusts the left edge of the first column, preserving the position of the right edge of the table by setting the widths of all the cells in the specified row or rows to the same value.

Remarks

The WdRulerStyle behavior described above applies to left-aligned tables. The WdRulerStyle behavior for center- and right-aligned tables can be unexpected; in these cases, the SetLeftIndent method should be used with care.
