Padding/Margin in style for form field

I have built a style in the style manager for a form editbox. I cannot get the padding or margin values to take effect. Are these not supported?
Also, is there a way to set the field height in the style?

Padding in styles should work (for form elements)
You cannot set height in styles.

It doesn't seem to be working.
Add an editbox to the page. Make a style with padding and/or margin. Apply the style to the editbox through the manager. All the attributes will apply instead of padding or margin.

Margin is only used by heading styles (see also the help).
But padding works correct for the editbox for me.

Thank you Pablo. This all makes sense now. I was trying to space the edit boxes apart in the layout grid. I see now it has to be applied individually by margin through the Arrange tool.
