Default Borders in cells and not being able to resize rows

I haven't been able to eliminate the thin white space on the left. However,
you should be able to get rid of the space below the picture. It's probably
caused by a paragraph mark between the picture and the cell marker. Because
of the way tables are displayed, the paragraph mark wouldn't be visible, but
it forces the cell marker to the next line.

First turn on nonprinting characters (click the ¶ button on the Home tab).
If you see the cell marker below the picture, put the cursor just to the
left of the marker and press Backspace once.

Using Word 2007 on XP SP3

If I paste in image into a table and set Text Wrapping to "Inline
with Text" I get no top margin, a very small left margin and a larger
bottom margin. I can't resize the row to get rid of the white space
under the image.

AutoFit is set to fixed column width
Default Cell Margins are all 0 and I've unset "allow spacing between
cells" row height shows 0.04cm "at least"

Even if I shrink picture to be much smaller than the cell it wont get
rid of the left or bottom whitespace. If I click on the picture the
picture select frame is exactly the same size as the image so I'm not
getting some strange effect due to a cropped picture.

I assume I must be missing some automatic option but I can't see it.
All I'm trying to do is have a three column table with text in cols 1
and 2 and then a screenshot in col 3 but I need to be able to get rid
of the whitespace under and to the left of the picture. BTW I have
checked the other cols and there is no text in them so they are not
forcng the row height!

Any advice on where else to look would be great!!
