And if I'm missing the bleeding obvious, I really do apologise.Įdit: I've found that part of the problem was due to my use of MS Unicode Arial font type, selecting Arial or TNR improves the results, but I would still like to be able to specify some padding factor if that's at all possible. I have a workaround - I copy and paste the table into Word and reduce the row height and padding, and that works perfectly, but I'd much prefer to be able to do what I need in Writer, if that's possible. So there's definitely something between the text and the cell border, but I can't seem to find a way to get rid of it. But if I just place the cursor in any given cell and use the same fill, the fill DOESN'T extend to the cell borders, just to the text limits. I tried some different methods of background colouring to see if there is an invisible gap, and there does seem to be - if I select an entire row, for example, and change the fill colour, the fill extends to each cell's borders. Reducing or enlarging the size of the text reduces or enlarges the cell height (using "Automatic" cell height settings), but if I turn off auto settings and manually resize the fonts and cell sizes, the padding never goes away and all I end up doing is truncating text descenders, and of course then I can't change the font size without also changing the table row height! But no matter what I do, there's always a massive (>= 4 points) gap between the top of each row/cell and the text. I've tried paragraph settings (I'm using the default paragraph style), character settings, cell alignment, border widths, and even manually sizing the rows and using superscript font style. I'm particularly trying to reduce or eliminate the vertical padding - so far the leading/trailing padding isn't a big issue, it seems to work fine. I just can't find any function or setting to do this - it seems to be happening automagically, and I can't find a way to turn it off. I'm trying to create a simple table, but I can't seem to reduce the "padding" (gap between the top/left/bottom/right of each cell and the top/left/bottom/right of the text within the cell). Hi, I'm new to Writer, but I've been using MS Office for over a decade.
