FrontPage Cell Padding

[Guest]

How do I add padding-left and padding-right to a cell, without going into the
HTML view.

Right-click over the table and select table properties from the pop-up - then
set the cellpadding there. Note that it is padding all sides and all cells.
If you want to pad only specific areas, you should do it with css.

Tri,

Thanks for trying to help! Unfortunately I did not want to modify HTML at
all. I was hoping there was a way to do this inside the design view.

Editing the table cell pading changes the top/left/right/bottom, not just
left/right :/

It doesn't sound like there is a way to do this without editing source code.

Merlin,
That is not correct. You do not need to go into HTML mode for this.
As Teri said you can do this through CSS. You can set this by editing the
style for that table, which is completely doable in design view. Select the
table properties | Style | Format | Border, and then set the padding in CSS.
Note: this may not look right in all browsers as not all browsers render CSS
correctly or accurately. That's one of the reasons people still use the
default table cellpadding, or they simply add additional columns in the
proper spots to provide left/right padding.

Hope this helps,

Mark,

Thanks! I want to modify a SINGLE CELL, not a table. Assuming I never go
into the HTML view, how do I add a style for the cell, to give it
padding-left: and padding-right: ?

Thanks,

Cell properties > Style > Format > Border > On the bottom, you can modify the
padding left, and the padding right

Someone just figured this out for me!

Bob,

Yes. I posted my question in multiple places, Outfront's Spooky was the one
who finally figrued it out for me.

I also posted on talkfrontpage.com, the person's responses sounded so dumb
that after I figured it out he/she DELETED the entire thread!

This was the original thread: talkfrontpage.com/showthread.php?t=4397

What a lame place!

Thanks for the assistance here,
