  Here is a sort of basic table:

  <table style="background-color:#f3ffff;border:15px solid #aaaaaa;padding:1em;" border="0" cellspacing="12">
  <tbody>
  <tr>
  <td>
  TEXT-1</td>
  <td>
  TEXT-2</td>
  <td>
  TEXT-3</td>
  </tr>
  </tbody></table>

  in ‘style’ you can change such things as: background-color, border width and color, text-alignment, width.
  Just play with the numbers…

  If “cellpadding” won’t work, you can apply padding to each td tag:
  <td style="padding:5px;">

  “Want to change the table border style”? To what exactly?
