Publisher - Text frame - add inside margin

[Silver06]

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

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.

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:

So it needs to set the margin for every sell manualy? Or for the whole table once?

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.

Thanks to all,

It was just the inset for the text frame. I didn't know the terminology inset.

If you are moving your text box around and lining things up it is way easier when flush to the text box edges.
