: Inserting a new column in InDesign changes the paragraph style by adding a + to the name. Why? When I add a new column to a table in InDesign CS6 and I click into a new created cell it

@Kaufman565

I can't say why for sure, smells like a bug, but there is a way to stop it.

Just tested it out (CS6) and it does seem to always add a left-align override to paragraph styles in new columns. But, if you give your table cells a cell style that is set to use your centre-aligned paragraph style, then in new columns with that cell style, the paragraph style's alignment is respected and not overridden.

So, I imagine the default cell style includes something (bug?) that applies a left-aligned override. When there's a cell style that sets a paragraph style, it doesn't use that default and so doesn't apply the override.
