Answer 1

Internal margin in MS Excel refers to the spacing between the text in a cell and the cell boundary.
It affects how text is positioned within the cell and ensures proper readability without overlapping edges.
Available Internal Margin Options:
These can be adjusted via Format Cells → Alignment tab → Text alignment → Cell Margins.


Top Margin – Space between text and top of the cell

Bottom Margin – Space between text and bottom edge

Left Margin – Indentation from the left edge of the cell

Right Margin – Space from right boundary

This is especially helpful when printing or creating reports for better alignment and professional formatting.
