Inserting a small space between table columns

[Rodolfo Gallego]

Hi group,

I have been scratching my head with a problem that i cant solve...

I received a document in wich there is a table... ok so far so good.
The thing is that i have a header line filled with blue and written in
white. The table for example can be 3 columns by 2 lines. The first
line is blue with white font. Now comes the hard part... I want a very
small space between this first and the second columns (around 1 mm)
this gives a very nice effect to a table. Somehow im not able to do
it! and did copy/paste from the previous document and have been around
the table and cell properties for 2 days and still no go!

you can see what i mean in this weblink...

notice the 2nd table.... the is a nice and small space between the
first and second column... the second and third column are
togheter....

can someone help me do a table like that in word? i saw this on word,
therefore it is somehow possible to do it

Excel is not a solution since it cant make lines as thin as are on the
table... word has a lot more options regarding border thickness etc...

thanks in advance!

Looks to me as if a white border has been applied.

Have you tried with a vertical border between the first and second column?
Try with a border at about 2¼ points and set the border colour to white.
I looked at the web site you mentioned, and doing it this way I reproduced
that table design in a few minutes... So unless there are other parameters,
it should do the trick for you as well.... no?

Write back if you need more help.
