Cell Spacing Default
The space between adjacent cells and the edges of the table is specified with the <w:tblCellSpacing> element. Compare with tblCellMar--spacing is added outside of the text margins.
This property can be overridden by a table-level exception (<w:tblCellSpacing> within <tblPrEx>) or by the row cell spacing value (<w:tblCellSpacing> within <trPr>).
<w:tblPr>
<w:tblCellSpacing> w:w="144" w:type="dxa"/>
</w:tblPr>
