When importing excel or spreadsheets (.xls), Indesign CC automatically sets the cell padding on top/bottom as 0.0556" (or equivalent). There is currently no way to set default cell padding when Indesign is open without any publications/files open, nor is there an option when importing a document/spreadsheet.

Either allow for imported cell padding to be listed within the 'Show More Options" within the import screen, or allow for a global default cell padding to be entered into Indesign.

When publishing files that pull or link cell data from excel, each time the excel file is updated, it is a VERY manual process to individually update the cell padding in each table within a file.

For example, one catalog I produce takes ~15-20 minutes of time just to update the cell padding to 0"/0"/0"/0" from the default 0.0556"/0.0556"/0"/0".

When certain revisions are made frequently, it can mean several hours per catalog of manual switching that could be done with a single batch/cell style default cell padding.
