In Word, Changing the margins for text in the cell
I want to change the margins for the text inside the cell of the table
without changing the table or cell size. I am making a table for business cards so I don't want to change the table size or the cell size or the spacing between cell in the table. I have gone to TABLE, TABLE PROPERITIES, CELL, OPTIONS, and change the margins but afterward the table itself grew to place some of my cells on the next page. It seem to have put spacing between the cell even though the block for allowing spacing between cells is not checked I have also tried using the global cell margins under the TABLE tab and get the same results. |

Instead of changing the cell margins, change the paragraph margins inside
the cell. -- Suzanne S.

This may or may not work...but is the problem reported by Grumakle (which I
also have) a "bug"? Isn't your solution a workaround? It seems to me that changing the cell margins shouldn't change the size of the table, any more than putting up wallpaper in your apartment should change the size of the apartment building. ==JJS== "Suzanne S.

Actually, if you DO allow spacing between the cells, the rows don't expand
to the next page, but you no longer see the horizontal gridlines or cell boundaries in Print Layout view (you do see the gridlines in Normal view). Moreover, the margins have no effect anyway. I suspect if you want to increase the cell margins, you need to tinker with the row height. It shouldn't work this way, but apparently it does. -- Suzanne S.
