Default Consistent Spacing between wrap-arounds and cells

See, I've tried that. I wish there was some way to make the spacing between
the cell borders to just a little less than zero. You see, I've tried what
you asked in the past and it almost works. Here's the problem with your
suggestions. With the spacing set to zero, my cell currently takes up just a
fraction over one line on my pleaded sheet.

Therefore, if I increase it I actually overlap to another line, making my
problem more obvious. The difference in spacing is so minute, that I have to
create a table that is at least nine rows long before you actually notice a
discrepancy.

Currently, my line height is set at zero as well. I can't seem to make the
table more compact in terms of spacing between the cells. And I can't change
the spacing of the text withtin the cell at it too needs to line up to the
pleading on the side. What a pickle, huh?

Unless yourself of someone comes up with a solution, I may have to just go
back and format the pleading, making it just a little bit more spaced out to
allow for me to actually tweak the spacing within any tables. It would
appear that the spacing on my pleading is too little (exactly 22.75 pts) to
accomodate the minimal spacing defaults of a table in word.

Any other suggestions or comments?

Hi ?B?ZXJuaWV3eWxlc0Bob3RtYWlsLmNvbQ==?=,

Assuming we're discussing Word 2002 or 2003: Table/Table
Properties/Table/Options lets you set the space between the cell borders and
the text. You can't set it to less than 0, but you can increase it so that it
occupies and entire line...

Alternately, you could try decreasing the line height for the text IN the
table.
