    Sorry, don't know any other settings.

     

    For me, if I check that option, I get indented code.

     

    If I don't check it, the code is left aligned.

    Edit > Preferences > Code Format > hit Tag Library button for advanced features. See screenshot:

    Code formatting changes won't effect your exisiting code.  Only works on new code.

    With CS5 is the same, non of these settings have worked, but go to:

     

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\Commands\TableCommands.js

     

    and 39-41 lines add some spaces bofere <

     

    var tableCells='  <'+'TD>' + theNBSP + '<'+'/TD>\n';

    var tableScopeRowCells='  <'+'TH>' + theNBSP + '<'+'/TH>\n';

    var tableScopeColCells='  <'+'TH>' + theNBSP + '<'+'/TH>\n';

     

    this have worked, but if you try to insert new row <td> is not indented:

     

    <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

    <tr>

      <th> </th>

      <th> </th>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td> </td>

      <td> </td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

    <td>new row</td>

    <td>not indented</td>

    </tr>

    </table>

     

    and didnt have found how to fix insert new row (below or above same is not indented).

    Just go into Preferences, Code Formating, and then the Tag Libraries. Find the TAG and change the line break setting to add line breaks for the before, inside, or after conditions.

     

    After making the change, in Code View click: Format Source Code.
