Spacing
Boxes, tables, paragraphs and many other elements have a margin and padding.
The margin is the white space around an element, outside the border. It is used to position an
element in relation to the other elements, by putting more space between the element and its
surrounding elements.
The padding is the space between an element's content and its border. It is used to position the
content of the element inside the border.
Elements have a rectangular shape, so they have four sides. The margin and padding have be
different on all sides.
Tip
Use a negative left margin to create a hanging paragraph or image.
To set the spacing:
1. Right-click the element and click the respective element on the shortcut menu.
Alternatively, select the element (see "Selecting an element" on page132) and on the
Page 236
