AES,
I was going to suggest using Grid, which is much more powerful than
TableForm and well worth knowing. However, it suffers from the same problem!
Grid[Array[Subscript[a, ##] &, {3, 2}], Spacings -> {5, 1}]
SetOptions[Grid, Spacings -> {5, 1}]
Grid[Array[Subscript[a, ##] &, {3, 2}]]
It seems reasonable that one should be able to set the Spacings option, so I
think this is a bug in both cases.
