Put the text in P's, DIV's or Hx's and add a style sheet for these elements, 
NOT for the TD. This is the safest way (especially for Netscape). If you 
want a margin for the whole content and an extra one for the paragraphs, put 
a DIV with a margin inside the TD and put P's with a margin inside the DIV.

To define styles ONLY for the central TD (if you also have paragraphs 
outside the central TD and want to style them differently), you might want 
to do it like this:

.TD CLASS="content">
.DIV>
.H2>Header./H2>
.P>Text
etc.
./DIV>
./TD>

and in the style sheet, do:

td.content p {margins, font etc.}

Means: every p inside a td with class=content has these-and-these styles.
