Hi Kathy and all,
{I am trying to attach screenshot here)
http://www.box.com/s/cilh17v0f0q9kdo68g14

I want to give left alignment in table (Plz. see screenshot)

I also got resource

But, I can't understand how to get expected result.

Plz. Just direct me.

TIA

Ravi,

Here's an example:

Grid[
{
{Style["Chapter No.", Bold], Style["Name of Chapter", Bold]},
{"1.", "Logarithms"},
{"7.", "Trigonometric ratios of Allied and Compound Angles"}
},
Alignment -> {{Center, Left}},
Dividers -> All,
Frame -> True]

Hi Michael,
Thanks a lot for immediate response.

I am missing some basic principle of Mathematica.
But definitely very close to it.

Your code works fine. No problem !!!

Now, i have created Table already.
How to convert into Code. Make changes. Again convert into Table (actual format-WYSIWYG).

(I tried by different ways, By selecting and right clicking )

Plz. direct me.

Thanks
Ravi

P.S.
I tried your code.
i get
in[1]:=........................................
out[1]= ......actual table............

How to hide "in[1]:"

In short,
Want to display only table.

It may be very basic question. Sorry for that.

Ravi,

You can normally use InputForm to get at the underlying Mathematica expression; one you have that, you can modify it as you wish, such as by adding options to change the alignment. If you have a table that you created with the Insert > Table command, then you may have to convert that table into a Grid first, and then use InputForm.

I've put up an example at the link below, so take a look and see if it helps:

Ravi,

I missed your PS in my previous post. If you want to hide the In[] and Out[] from a particular expression, you can either click on the label and press the Delete key (which will remove the In[] and Out[] cell labels), or you can copy and paste the output (in this case, the table) and paste it into a text cell, which don't have In[] and Out[] labels.

Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,
I got your point perfectly.

I put 'Grid format code'
It gives Standard format Table

Again i convert into 'Grid format' by right clicking
(plz. See.http://www.box.com/s/dqz9i9zdnhctf0yzehq6 )

Make expected changes- Then again Covert into 'Standardform'.

Ok No Problem. i understand this cycle.

As you said-
"If you have a table that you created with the Insert > Table command, then you may have to convert that table into a Grid first, and then use InputForm."

i have created table by using Insert> table command

By selecting and right clicking
It doesn't show any 'convert option'
plz. see http://www.box.com/s/lkv1svdjiyuu4anh7vrb

Actually that is my problem

Michael, Thanks again for your support
Best Regards,
Ravi

Ravi,

I see the problem. The table in your screenshot is in a Text cell; this is why the Convert To command does not work.

If you create a new Input cell and use Insert > Table, then you can convert the WSIWYG representation into the underlying Mathematica expression using right-clicking and Convert To > InputForm.

Or, to use what you already have:

1. Put your cursor directly to the right of the "e" in "Chapterwise" above the table.
2. Cell > Divide Cell.
3. Put your cursor directly to the left of the "O" in "Only O. Papers" below the table.
3. Cell > Divide Cell.
4. You should now have the table in its own cell. Highlight its cell bracket and do Format > Style > Input.
5. Now you can right-click and choose Convert To > Input Form to get the Mathematica expression to put into a Grid.

If you have any trouble, please contact our Technical Support team at support@wolfram.com for assistance.

Thanks,
Michael
