104 Chapter 4 Formatting Text and Paragraphs
You can change the amount of space between text and the inside border of the text
box, shape, or table cell. This measurement is called the inset margin. The amount of
space you specify is applied equally around the text on all sides.
To set the spacing between text and the inside of a text box, shape, or table cell:
1 Select the text box, shape, or table cell. (If the insertion point is inside the object,
Command-Return to get out of text editing mode and select the object.)
2 Click Inspector in the toolbar (or choose View > Show Inspector), click the Text
Inspector button, and then click Text.
3 In the Text pane of the Text Inspector, drag the Inset Margin slider to the right to
increase the space between text and the inside border of the object, or type a
number in the Inset Margin box and press Return. You can also click the arrows to
increase and decrease space.
Specify how much space
there is around text inside a
text box, shape, or table cell.
