Table cell padding managed by stylesheets
Last modified: 2009-09-10 15:27:20 UTC
In OpenOffice Writer there is currently no way to manage the padding in tables through styles. If handling large documents with many tables, each table cell has a hard formatted spacing from the cell borders. This cannot easily be changed through the whole document. One solution might be to use the border/frame styles for table cells as well, which is currently not possible to my knowledge. Another solution might be the specilize the document configuration feature "compatibility": There is an option to use paragraph spacing at the beginning of a page/table cell. While many users prefer not to use paragraph margins at page top/bottom, they may require the margin in tables (but maybe not in all tables). Therefore activating/deactiviating the feature per table might be the second solution.
