Hi kae,

That is by design. All Word versions from at least as long ago as the early 1990s have behaved the same way. Changing the right padding likewise affects the right-hand end of the table. Essentially, what's happening is that the table border positions adjust to allow the text to start/end at the page margins (though paragraph indenting can affect that).
