<?blockcellpad>
Description
This command specifies the text padding to be applied to a cell in a block. Padding will be applied equally on all sides of the cell and acts as a border between the cell rules and cell content.
From version 10, padding can be applied to each of the sides individually using the relevant PI.
* 
Specifying <?blockcellpad> as well as padding for an individual side will have a cumulative effect. To avoid this if required, when specifying padding on a single side it is possible to include an extra @ parameter which gives an absolute option, providing the <?blockcellpad> was specified first.
Syntax
<?blockcellpad width:uh>
width
The width of cell padding to be applied to the cell, plus unit of measurement
Additional Information
A similar effect can be achieve by adding a colorless rule on all sides of a cell using the <?blockcellrules> command.
