A few margin/padding issues

Hi,

I’ve been making some changes on my site and have some issues regarding spacing and margins. I’ve done a lot of searching on google and here on the forum and found fixes to several things I wanted to change, but I have not been successful on others, even though they are probably very basic fixes for people with experience. The following is what I’m trying to do over at zwcresearch.com

1) For most of the pages, I’d like to increase the margins/padding a bit between all content and the edges of the page. Is there a way to do this for specific pages? I know about changing the template when editing individual pages. I like the full width template, but would just like to increase the space for a few of the pages so it’s not crowding the edge of the page so much.

2) There is a box on the home page that says Recent Publications that is part of a widget, and I would like to get that box to stretch the width of the page (to not leave that little bit of space on either side) and to change its color.

3) Decrease the spacing between the menu items at the top of the site. I found some code to put the vertical lines between, but my attempts to bring the words a little closer together just made the words collapse into the lines.

Thank you!
