Hi Richard, I think you are misdiagnosing the problem. Try this: 1) Insert a left-aligned table with a title in a text column. Make sure the table is narrower than the text column. 2) Set the table title to be left-aligned. Type text in the table title and you will see that if it is longer tha

I have noted a related (well, not really, but sort of!) problem with using side-head columns and table. In some of my documents, the table title uses both the side-head and the text column (the table number is in the side-head in these documents). When I make the table width small, the table titl
