Hi Jamal,

That is done so that the text in the cell aligns with the text boundary, after allowing for the internal cell margins. If you change the internal cell margins to 0 (Table Tools > Layout > Properties > Table > Options), the edges of the table (and the text) will both align with the text boundary.
