Hi Rhea, I am verifying the behavior you are seeing. There are two workarounds:
1) If the first paragraph in the title is centered, it will constrain the whole title to the width of the table. You could have a tiny, blank, centered paragraph in each title just above your normal, left-aligned title. 2) You could use FrameScript to automatically set the right indent on the title paragraph equal to text column width - table column width This would eliminate the need for the dummy centered paragraph before the real one. A script like this could be triggered automatically whenever you save the document.
