Aligning multi-line text in a table cell

[Al-Vista]

I want to create a table in which some cells contain more than one line of text. As the screenshot shows, it is automatically laid out with all but the first line having a big indent. There is no ruler to set stop positions as there is in a normal text box, and no apparent controls in the table panel. I've tried all the alignment options.

I'd be happy with just plain text in the cells with all the lines aligned left, though of course a full set of controls would be great.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Check the Paragraph panel, or the Text Style you're using for that cell. It looks like you have a left indent set, and then a right indent of 0, for that paragraph.

Thanks very much Walt, that's cracked it. Mind you I'd still like to have ruler controls fo table cells!

You're welcome. 

Curious thought: Have you tried putting a Text Frame in the table cell? If you can, that might let you have Text Rulers, though it's a cumbersome workaround.
