Excel Cell Margin (Padding) - AGAIN!

[wagnerlip]

Hello, reading the old 2006 thread about "Excel Cell Padding", thread707-1265693, I realize no one was able to understand exactly what was questioned. The original thread post was asking for help to create a Cell Padding, a term very well known to anyone who worked with html tables.

The poster was asking a way to create a tick border to a cell or group of cells. For example, if you want to create a Excel sheet with cells for input data, and you want the cells to look pretty and not to get very close one to another, also, to paint cells background in gray but you want a tick separation between cells in black, as to have the cells apart to each other some tiny distance.

One way to do it, and I do it a lot for lack of better understanding, is to reduce all the Even columns and rows to half a letter width or height and paint it all black, so the usefull (odd rows and columns) will be apart each other nicely.

The term CELL PADDING is 100% correct, it is used in programming syntax for long, but unfortunately in Excel it seems not to be possible to do.

Another term is CELL SPACING, and that is most correct for what I've been doing above shrinking the even columns and rows, that is a space between rows and columns.
