Table not centered in bounding box

Question

All of a sudden I cannot get a table to be centered in the bounding box for the life of me. I use tables frequently (often with 30+ rows and 10+ columns) and have never had this problem. With this table I can adjust the right side of the box up to the edge of the table but when I do the left and table jumps to the right. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I havent changed any settings to my knowledge. I had just worked all morning on another table with no troubles. Thanks in advance!

Hi Sarah,check the formatting of the paragraph that is holding the table.Could be a left indent value that is not zero. From my German InDesign where the Paragraph panel is showing a left indent value of 6 mm with the paragraph that is holding the table:Or look after the Text Frame Options if there is a left indent there.Just like this:   Regards,Uwe Laubender( ACP )

If you know all the table settings and so forth (as you imply you do), it might be one of two things:

A bad element in one cell. Try doing a force-format of all contents to some base style (both paragraph and cell), clearing all attributes, and starting over.
A corrupt doc. Save/Export to IDML and reopen it.
