Text margins within a cell

G

Guest

I am typing text in some of the cells in my table. How do I move the text
over a bit so that there is a gap between the cell lines and the text? My
texts bumps into the lines around the cells, making it difficult to read. I
would appreciate any help. Thanks,
Nancy

Use padding in the cell.
Either set up the table and specify cellpadding in the table properties,
or use CSS:
In <head> section of page in code view, just before </head> tag:

<style type="text/css">
th,td {padding:3px;}
</style>

If you use table properties, the table tag will be similar to:

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" border="1">

Thanks, Ronx! Worked like a charm.
Anyone reading this response: Right click on the cell and go to "Table
Properties" to find the "Cell Padding" menu.
