Margins and Shrinking the Text Table Sizes

If you would like your text to be inside a smaller area and have more white space around it, here are some general ideas for doing this. This can be a bit tricky because every template is different and also has different notes. This also will not work on every template.

Adding White Space:
The following code is from a T25 template but many templates have similar code.

First open the HTML document you wish to change in Notepad. Look for a note similar to the one shown below:

<!-- START CONTENT TABLE -->
<TABLE cellpadding="0" cellspacing="5" border="0" width="575">


Notice in the code above the width="575". Some templates will have a width defined in pixels like the example, some will have them in percents. Example: width="100%". This code can be freely changed to make the template tables and so forth different sizes. Remember that the template you are editing may be quite a bit different but they all have tables you can re-size.

Try changing the border="0" to border="1" and viewing the page in your web browser. You will then be able to see where the table you are trying to edit is. This will make it easier to re-size the tables.
