I have a bunch of bulleted (or numbered) lists in a table, and the default
style that gets applied to them will make them indented. How would I go
about outdenting the list so the bullets/numbers are aligned on the left edge
of the table. Basically, I need to do the exact same thing as the "decrease
indent" button, but via a VB script as there are a lot of tables and I can't
do them by hand.

I think the problem I'm having is not properly getting a "Range" object for
the text inside the table cells because the indent/outdent methods are
working as expected on WHOLE ROWS, not CELLS. How would I go about doing
this?

I'm using Word 2003.

Thanks,
Dan Nawrocki

If numbering was applied with a paragraph style, you can modify the
style not to include indents. In the Customize Numbered List (or
Customize Outline Numbered List) dialog, make sure that "Aligned at"
under "Number position" is set to 0 (zero).

Hi Dan,

Also, in a table, make sure it's really an indent and not some left cell padding (Table > Table Properties > Table and Cell Options).
