Resize text box without affecting relative position of contour lines.

I'm working on a book where I need to place a text box inside a text box and there needs to be a 4 mm border around the text box inside the other one. Here is a picture of what I am trying to accomplish:



The way I did this is by using countour lines. But the issue I am having is I am re-using these two text boxes multiple times down the page, and sometimes I need to resize the small inner text box in the upper right corner. When I do that, the countour lines change and no longer maintain the 4 mm padding. Is there a way to resize the text box and maintain the 4 mm padding? Is there a better way to do this than contour lines?

Ok, I think I have a solution. I got rid of the contour lines and instead used column and text distances and set the right and bottom text distance to 4 mm. I don't know why I didn't think of this last night...
