How do I append text in a Rich Text field table, so that the margin is the same as the cell width?

In Notes 6, I am trying to populate a cell in a table created in a Rich Text field. When I append the table and specify the styles, the columns are as expected. When I append the text, it has a margin set at 1 in the cell (I turned on a ruler and found this). How do I set the margin to be the same as the cell width?
Refer to the IBM Redbook "Domino Designer 6: A Developer's Handbook," page 724 for an example of what it sounds like you're trying to do.

Without seeing code, I don't know for sure why your margins would be messed up, but I suspect you're setting only the LeftMargin property of the paragraph style -- you must also set the FirstLineLeftMargin to zero.
