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.

I recently posted a message with the subject "Width of table titles." In it
I said that when my table title paragraph tag has the flush left property,
the text rect that contains the title changes to become as wide as "the
whole column." I should have said it changes to become as wide as the whole
text column that the table is in.
Since my tables are generally narrower than the text column they're in,
this is a problem. I don't want the titles to be wider than the tables. I
can't find any way to make the titles narrower when the title paragraph
tag is flush left. The minute I change the title para tag to be centered,
the text rect that contains the table title changes to become exactly the
width of the table. But as luck would have it, I don't like centered
titles. I like flush left titles.
What puzzles me is that I've used FrameMaker for over 15 years and I don't
remember ever having this problem before. But now it occurs in even a
brand-new generic FrameMaker file.
TIA
Rhea Barron
