Every document or just one or some? Any computer you try it on? That sounds strange to me!

Word and InDesign are very different, and there are many things Word can do that ID cannot (and vice versa). It is not helpful to compare them.

If you want the 2nd table indented, I suggest using a Left Indent setting on the paragraph that the table is in.

Oh, I understand better now. It’s not the settings in the Print dialog box that are getting lost, it is the printer driver settings (the options you get when you click Printer or Setup at the bottom of the Print dialog box). I don’t know if InDesign is able to read those, as they are controls in the printer driver. InDesign doesn’t really control the driver dialog box very well.

I’m surprised that InDesign isn’t migrating those automatically for you. That’s one of the new features in CC — “seamless update”

It is very hard to know. Maybe you have placed a PDF 1.3 file into your InDesign document? Did you check Ink Manager and Separations Preview to ensure you do not have any spot colors?
