MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / December 2004Centering Table in Frame
I have a macro that inserts a selected table and its caption in a frame and places it either at the top or bottom of the page. The table, created through a predefined table style, is centered. However when the table is placed in the frame, it is flushed left although the table properties shows that centered is still selected. (The frame stretches the length of the margin.) The caption is still centered. Manually selected center from the table properties does nothing either. How can I center the table within the frame? Thanks for any help G'day "Mike" <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com>, Might be easier to use the headers and footers areas for the insert.

G'day <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com>, No, you set the left indent of the frame to make the table APPEAR centered. You can select a row and use selection.information(WOW!) to calc the width, add the pt width of the borders, add a pt for the table layout itself. Subtract that from page width, divide by two, thats your frame indent.

First, even though the widthrule property of the frame is set to wdFrameAuto, the frame stretches the length of the margin rather than the lenth of the table (I'm not sure why). Second, I can generally see how you can calculate the width of the of the table using either wdHorizontalPositionRelativeToPage or wdHorizontalPositionRelativeToTextBoundary, but actually doing it, and using it to set the left indent, is a little beyond my capability. The first problem I think is not important because instead of setting the left boundary of the frame to the page I can set the left boundary of the table in the frame. Yet that still leaves me with the second problem. . >-----Original Message----- >G'day <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com>, [quoted text clipped - 50 lines] > >.
