Adding Padding to Table Elements

This task explains how to add padding attributes to various table elements. Elements that support padding are:

table
colspec
row
entry

To add padding to a table element:

Within the Outline Editor of a dynamic requirements file, right-click the element to which you wish to add padding and select Add Attribute > padding.
The padding attribute is added to the element without a value, as shown below.
Double-click the text "NO VALUE" to open the editor.
Enter the desired amount of padding using a string of four spaced points. Example: 6pt for a single value applied to all sides or 8pt 6pt 8pt 6pt for each side individually. Note that the order of the values correspond to the top, right, bottom and left sides of the element respectively.
