Can I specify a minimum clearence width for any edge of a table, from the text that wraps it?

Using FP 2003.
I mean a clearance from the text that wraps the table from the outside of
course.
Would like to specify it in pixels if possible.

Thanks,

David

I think you want cellpadding: sets the amount of space between the contents
of the cell and the cell wall. In Design View, right-click on the table and
choose table properties.

Actually I meant exactly what I wrote: "...wraps the table from the OUTSIDE
of course."
and not inside.

The only ways to add "padding" to the outside of a table is
- nest it in a hidden outer table and apply cell padding
- or use CSS (see style below)

Try this code in a white background page
<div align="left">
<table align="left" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" width="100" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" id="table1"
style="margin-right: 20; margin-left: 20">
<tr><td>One</td><td>Two</td></tr>
</table><p>Three</p></div>

you mean cell spacing/cell padding? it's in the 'cell properties' when you
right-click within the cell of a table.
