FM is having a field day

OK. My turn, Joe.  I'm using FrameMaker 7.2 on Windows XP-Pro.

Neither Sarah O'Keefe and Sheila Loring's "FrameMaker 7, The Complete 
Reference" nor Thomas Neuburger's "FrameMaker 6: The Masters Series" 
shows me what's wrong.

I have a one-cell table that we are using to put a gray box around code 
examples.

It comes in three flavors of left indent: 0.0", 0.25", and 0.5".

I want them all to extend from there to the right margin.  All are set 
with a Table Designer right indent as 0.0" but all three have the same 
overall width, namely 5.0", so that the first one leaves a .5" space to 
its right, the second has 0.25" to its right, and the last ends where I 
want all of them to end.

Changing the right indent from 0.0" to even 4.0" has no visible effect.

Worse yet, their associated table titles exhibit inconsistency as well, 
with the first one being in a box the same width and positioning as its 
parent table, the second having a box the full width from left to right 
page margin, and the third again having a box the same width and 
positioning as its parent table.

Essentially, we have

WTF?    What The FrameMaker?
