Unfortunately no, there is no way to make this the default for freshly inserted tables, sorry.Bob Stern wrote:How can I make newly created tables have left alignment instead of center alignment? (I refer to the alignment of the table itself, not the alignment of text within each table cell.) Can I add this to the Normal paragraph style?
It's possible to work around the limitation here if you don't mind using a macro instead of the built-in command. Just use this macro to convert text to a table:I would like this also to apply to tables created by the "convert text to table" command.
Code: Select all
Menu "Convert to Table"
Menu "Align Table:Align Left"I'm not sure if anything could be so hotly requested as vertical ruler!phspaelti wrote:I think this is now the top feature request, ever since Geoff got his vertical ruler
But certainly we'll consider Bob's request that we have something to control the default table alignment; ideally the feature would reach farther and provide something like a Normal style for tables that could control not only alignment but also cell borders, padding, etc.
