Cell Padding or Margins Within a Table
Greetings! I have a table with many cells containing text. The text is not
flush against the left border of the cells; there is reasonable space with the text left-aligned. When I insert cells (a row at a time) into the table and add text, that text is flush against the left border. All the text settings appear the same. When I click within the original cells and check the tab ruler, I see the indent sliders are just to the right of the blue "partitions"; when I click within the cells I added, the sliders appear right on the "partitions" and won't allow me to slide them to the left. I can't move them in the Paragraph dialog box either. Any suggestions? Thanks, |

Cell Padding or Margins Within a Table
Have you checked the cell margins in the Table Properties (Cell Options)?

Cell Padding or Margins Within a Table
Once again, Ms. Barnhill, you have saved my bacon. When I selected the
entire table and looked at the cell properties, the margins were blank. I checked off the "Same as the whole table", but no changes happened. When I selected a range of cells and looked at the cell properties, they were zeros. I typed in the margins from a cell with "good" spacing, and it worked like a charm. Thanks again!! |

I'm glad that helped. I find that often you have to drill down to get
meaningful results (selecting an entire table/document just returns garbage). -- Suzanne S.
