When I add a new column to a table in InDesign CS6 and I click into a new created cell it has a + in the style name. When I hover over the style it shows: "Overrides(alt+click to clear): (align: flush left)".
This means that the new cell is aligned left instead of maintaining the original style, which is center aligned. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
thanks (:

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.
