Indenting Tables in Google Docs (work-around)

Limitation: 
You can't move a table around to place it in an arbitrary location. It cannot be indented, right-justified, centered, etc. The top-left corner is locked to the left-most position on the page.

Work-around:
You can, however, resize the table and change the border. So to indent tables the only work-around at the moment is to nest tables. 
  1. Make a table (outer-table) with a white border and create another table inside it (inner-table). 
  2. Adjust the cell-padding on the outer-table to move the inner table around to indent it.
When will it be fixed?
This is a known issue that google is aware of (September 14, 2010):
