I followed your steps in editing the Default.nb style file and see no problem. You can replace any "Inherited" value by a value of your formatting needs. You do not have to "inherit" any value. You can change the CellMargin values of the working environment or at lower levels if you need. I would like to recommend to you to import a local copy of the style file, and practice on it before changing (permanently, if you are not careful enough).

Thanks -- but **what** style file? Starting from one of my notebooks I've * Used the "Format>>Edit Style Sheet" menu command; * Chosen the "Edit Shared Style Sheet" option, since I do want to make this particular change globally in all my notebooks; * Doing this opens "Default.nb" and I use the Option Inspector menu command on the "Styles for Input/Output" section of Default.nb; * In fact, I've used Option Inspector, in both "Selection" and "Global" display modes, on every level of Default.nb; and so far as I can see, CellMargins are labelled as "Inherited" at **every** level of the Default.nb notebook. If there's a progenitor somewhere, I've not found it . . . --AES (Just for the record, Mac OS 9.2, Mathematica 4.2)
