How to Change the Cell Padding

[Pascal.H]

(Excel 2003) I want to change the cell padding (increase the right-side
padding, but leave the text left-aligned). Is there a way to do this?

I have tried, but was unsuccessful with: (1) Format >> Cells... >> AlignmentIndent.

Change the cell/column width? What do you mean by padding?
