Text in table not displayed at the right place / What is this grey area in the ruler and...

Hi Ian,

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately this arrow never appears and I can't drag the grey area. I know that this works in word, but in this e-mail it doesn't seem to work that way.

Thanks anyways,
Franziska

Lets see if another user has anymore ideas and have the experience the issue.

I see. What particular applications are you using for this one?

Hi FBirnbaum_305, hope you're doing well. I’m Ian, and I’m happy to help you today.

I'm sorry to hear about this issue.

This "grey area" can be move by dragging it to the left or right.

Just point your mouse and wait for the "left right" arrow to show up then try to drag it to your desire position.

This is a user-to-user support forum and I am a fellow user.

I hope this helps, but please let me know if you need anything else.

If you writing an e-mail using Outlook, and trying to create a table with the text written totally close to the left, you can simply create the table on the email directly, start typing, and the text should be formatted as left as possible. You can use the two buttons I've circled on the attached screenshot to move the text around.
