Why can't I decrease table cell margins?

The cell margins are set to 0 in a table. However, the text is still indented both vertically and horizontally. What else determines cell margins?

Thank you.

    You cannot change the margins for all of the cells to those of a cell for which the margins have been changed via the Cell Options dialog, by re-checking the box for "Same as the whole table dialog".  You must of course uncheck that box to be able to change the margins for a specific cell.
