In FP2002, Trouble with Text Margins in a Cell

A

AA Smith

For reasons I have yet to discern, all text in a rather wide cell is
significantly narrower than the cell margins. How can I expand the text
margins in a cell?

There are no "margins" in table cells. Use "cell padding". (under the
table/cell properties). I think it's actually under Table Properties.

Hi, Andrew!

Thanks so much for your valued feedback. I sincerely appreciate it.

That is a good suggestion but it may have unexpected results since it
applies equally to every cell in the table. A much better way (in my
opinion) would be to use CSS to hit the specific cell in question -

<style type="text/css">
<!--
..special { padding-left:25px; padding-right:25px; }
-->
</style>

and then this HTML -

<td class="special">This text will have 25px of padding left and right</td>
