Hi Caryl
There are two lots of cell margins: the cell margins that apply to the table
as a whole and, should you choose, cell margins for an individual cell.
Perhaps the problem cells have had their margins set individually. If so,
select the cell, do Table Properties. On the Cell tab, click Options and
tick the "Same as whole table" box.
Hope this helps.

To most people it would not really matter because the printed table does
not
show much difference But - it really bothers me that I do not understand
why
my table looks the way it does. Any replies are helpful. Here is the
best
way to describe what is going on. : I have a large table that I am
trying
to fit onto one page. Font size is low & is consistent through out the
table. I have changed the internal margins to be set @ .02" on left & .0"
@
right. I have added colums & rows, deleted columns & rows, reset the
whole
table size, reset the cell alignment so that currently it is centered
horiz
as well as vert, & etc. I have autosize to make all rows same size.
Now -
when I highlight the whole table, some of the cells are fully filled in &
some of the cells are highlighted with some white showing on the top &
bottom
indicating to me that there is an internal top & bottom margin. which is
fine
with the cell alignment set @ centered vert. So why are some of the cells
completely fillid in?
