Description |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
WdRulerStyle |
Controls the way Word adjusts the table when the left indent is changed. |
Remarks

Example
This example creates a table in a new document and indents the first row 0.5 inch (36 points). When you change the left indent, the cell widths are adjusted to preserve the right edge of the table.
Dim docNew As Document
Dim tableNew As Table
Set docNew = Documents.Add
Set tableNew = docNew.Tables.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, _
NumRows:=3, NumColumns:=3)
tableNew.Rows(1).SetLeftIndent LeftIndent:=InchesToPoints(0.5), _
RulerStyle:=wdAdjustSameWidth
