Cell Margins in Access?

C

Cheese

When I print queries for example, the text in the cells is always tight up
against the left border line. Unlike other Microsoft programs, there seems to
be no cell margins to adjust.

I know this is a very minor thing, and that Access isn't meant to make
everything look pretty. My eyes aren't very good, however, and with the black
border lines, I have a hard time tracking down the list looking for the data
I want. Is there a way to change this, or am I just out of luck?

I am using Access 2000, by the way.

Sorry, not in the DatasheetView of the Query. DatasheetView is meant for
testing during development only.

You have margins for TextBoxes in the Reports which is the proper way to
print data from Access.

That's because Queries (and Tables) are not designed for data
presentation.

Create a Report based on your query, and print that. You can set the
textbox properties very flexibly (which you cannot do in a Query).
