Grid rules

@indie5E1E 

at first you started in Illustrator forum two threads.

Then in the middle of this thread -->

Just for clarification:

1. is this a Illustrator question?
2. or is this now a InDesign question?

If it is an InDesign table, it sounds to me like they want the column widths the same and the cell padding insets the same amount in all columns. I guess.

Please, guys, help me out...

Make all margins the same by adjusting the column width.

I think what the client is asking for is to make sure that the space between the widest word in each column and the vertical rules is equivalent to the space between the red rules that have been drawn. For example it looks like the space surrounding the words "Manufacturing" and "Transportation" (they seem to be about the same width) under the "Industry" column is pretty close already and at most would only require a slight adjustment to match the red line example. On the other hand the "Average Monthly Savings Per Device" column would need to be made narrower to match the space for "Savings Per" which seems to be the widest line of copy in the column.

The request seems a bit unrealistic to me since the widest copy in each column is not always the header copy. When the widest word actually appears as entry copy then the header, I think, will look odd compared to the headers that do contain the widest words.

They want the column width to be the width of the text plus those margins in each column.
