   I am trying to remove, or change the size of, the margin or padding in the main body.
   
   See here: http://premiercontractingservices.com/wp/index.php/example/
   I have shown the border around the table to show the space between the table and the outer edge.
   
   Anyone know how to remove that?
   
   Thanks!

   I think in your custom css it's
   
   #main div.pad
   {
   padding-left: 20px;
   padding-right: 20px;
   }

   That worked for the padding to the left and right. But no luck with the top.
   
   I tried:
   
   padding-top: 0px;
   
   margin-top: 0px;

   Not really sure, but maybe
   
   #main div.pad
   {
   margin: 0px 0px;
   padding: 0px 0px;
   }
   
   or
   
   #body
   {
   margin-top: 0px;
   margin-bottom: 0px;
   }
   
   
   I'm just going off the sem-canvas in the custom-sample's folder and the css in the blank theme.

   Didn't work!
   
   I also tried
   
   #ext_main
   
   #header
   
   #navbar
   
   #custom_navbar
   
   No luck with those either!

   It seems that Paul's suggestion should work. Try adding the important tag, as follows:
   
   #main div.pad
   {
   margin: 0px 0px !important;
   padding: 0px 0px !important;
   }
   
   or
   
   #body
   {
   margin-top: 0px !important;
   margin-bottom: 0px !important;
   }

   Thanks... but no luck. To make sure I hadn't messed up somewhere else in my custom.css file, I removed everything else in custom.css and then tried ONLY those 2 tags you both suggested... but found the space was still there.
   
   Then I thought it might be the "spacer" or "pad" tag.
   
   I tried putting the following into the custom.php file:
   
   <?php
   }
   remove_action('spacer', 'spacer');
   remove_action('pad', 'pad');
   ?>
   
   But that didn't work either. The white space at the top and bottom is still there. :/

   I worked out it is the <div class="pad"> tag that is causing all the problems.
   
   Could anyone tell me how to remove it or change it's values to 0px?
   
   Thanks!

   I got it sorted!
   
   I found this worked:
   
   div.pad
   {
   margin: 0px 0px !important;
   padding: 0px 0px !important;
   }
   
   But it would still leave a tiny bit of white space because there is text in the div. So I changed it to:
   
   div.pad
   {
   margin: 0px 0px !important;
   padding: 0px 0px !important;
   font-size: 0px;
   }
   
   The copyright_notice & footer link section would then not show up because the font was 0px.
   
   So I added this to my custom.css:
   
   #copyright_notice
   {
   font-size: 10px;
   padding: 4px 3px !important;
   }
   
   And would do the same with the footer links (if there were any).
   
   Thanks for the help Paul & LarryVan!

    You can try #footer or #footer_nav
