Change the padding in a control

After inserting a control in your form, you can change the amount of space, or "padding," between a control's border and its contents. For example, if you want to add extra white space at the bottom of a text box, you can change the bottom margin setting for the text box.

ShowTip

  1. In design mode, right-click the control whose padding you want to change, and then click Control Properties on the shortcut menu.
  2. In the Control Properties dialog box, click the Size tab.
  3. Under Padding in the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right boxes, type the amount of space that you want to appear between the control's border and the text inside it, and then select a unit of measure from the list for each amount.
