Silver06 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Hi, I would like to know how to add cell margins to my text frame in publisher. The text is flush against the bounding box which I find visually annoying and text can be hidden by the arrow or dot on the boundary. Is there a simple way to do this please? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfriedberg Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Look at the Text Frame panel. You can set insets separately for left, right, top and bottom of any text frame. If you don't currently have the Text Frame panel showing, open the View menu on the toolbar and find it there. Silver06 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h_d Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 If you mean the "cell margins" within a table, then reveal Cell in the Table panel (View-Studio-Table if it's not showing) and adjust the insets there: ElisonAxtone 1 Quote Affinity Photo 2.5.3, Affinity Designer 2.5.3, Affinity Publisher 2.5.3, Mac OSX 14.5, 2018 MacBook Pro 15" Intel.

If you mark the complete table and define the insets it is for the whole table, if you mark only some cells and define the insets it is only for the selected cells.

Silver06 Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 Thanks to all, It was just the inset for the text frame. I didn't know the terminology inset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderings Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 If you are moving your text box around and lining things up it is way easier when flush to the text box edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
