Word margin

Hi,
I tried different ways of setting margins. However, it always end up setting the whole document. I want to just set the margins for a specific table. Anyone know how that's done?
Thanks,
Ksom

Hi Ksom,

You can set the Margins for the document or for a Section of the document. A single page can only have one set of margins so if your table is the only thing on one (or more) pages you can insert section breaks before and after and set margins for the section.

If you just want the table positioned on a page, grab its anchor and put it where you want it (or do it via Table Properties > Table tab > Positioning).

Enjoy,
Tony

Thanks Tony. Let me try to clarify my question. I try to create a table with width that is larger than the page margin allows, using VBA.

I will look into the section idea.

Thanks,
Ksom

Hi Ksom,

I don't think you need to change the margins to do that. try something like this ..

Code:

With Selection.Tables(1)
    .Rows.HorizontalPosition = CentimetersToPoints(-2)
    .Rows.RelativeHorizontalPosition = wdRelativeHorizontalPositionMargin
    .PreferredWidthType = wdPreferredWidthPoints
    .PreferredWidth = CentimetersToPoints(19)
End With

Enjoy,
Tony
