I haven't had to do this for several years, but back in 2011, this worked:

To get margins around a text box, go to Properties, give the line a 
color of Black, and a width of either one or two points.  Then go to 
Shape.  Select Use Contour Line and Edit.  Check Edit Contour Line and 
click on the left-hand box for the bottom row.  Set the number of points 
you want around the box, click on End Editing and exit Properties.

To get margins inside a text box, go to Properties, Text and open the 
Columns drop down.  Move the right/left margins up from 0 points, as needed.
