<tblInd> (Table Indent from Leading Margin Exception)

This element specifies the indentation which shall be added before the leading edge of the set of parent table rows which have this set of table-level property exceptions applied. This indentation should shift the table into the text margin by the specified amount in the document (the left edge in a left-to-right table, and the right edge in a right-to-left table).

This value is specified in the units applied via its @type attribute. Any width value of @type pct or auto for this element shall be ignored.

If this element is omitted, then the table shall inherit the table indentation from the associated table level property setting. If the resulting justification on the parent table row is not left after applying the value of the <jc> element from the three levels of this property (§2.4.21;§2.4.22;§2.4.23), then this property shall be ignored.

example:

This setting would be specified using the following WordprocessingML:

<w:tblPrEx>
  <w:tblInd w:val="1440" w:type="dxa"/>
</w:tblPrEx>

The <tblInd> element as a child of <tblPrEx> specifies that the rows with the table-level property exception shall be indented by 1440 twentieths of a point (one inch). ]

Attributes

Description

<type> (Table Width Type)

Specifies the units of the width property being defined by the parent element’s @w attribute. This property is used to define various properties of a table, including: cell spacing, preferred width, and table margins.

If this attribute is omitted, then its value shall be assumed to be dxa (twentieths of a point).

<w:bottom ... w:type="dxa" />

This @type shall therefore be used to interpret the width specified in the @w attribute as a value in twentieths of a point. ]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_TblWidth simple type (§2.18.97).

<w> (Table Width Value)

Specifies the value of the width property being defined by the parent element. This property is used to define various properties of a table, including: cell spacing, preferred widths, and table margins.

If this attribute is omitted, then its value shall be assumed to be 0.

<w:bottom w:w="302" w:type="dxa" />

The value in the @w attribute shall therefore be used to determine the width being specified in the context of the units specified in the @type attribute. In this case, the @type is twentieths of a point (dxa), so the width is 302 twentieths of a point (.2097 inches). ]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_DecimalNumber simple type (§2.18.16).
