 * Based on what is the cell size determined? (in terms of width) I would like to
   be able to adjust them, and intends to only make the cell box smaller but this
   does not work for me.
 * I would also like to know how I can place a margin in each cell on the left and
   right side.
 * Help!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcell-size-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Cell size is calculated by the browser, based on the amount and size of the content
   in the columns and the available space.
    Changing the column widths is possible,
   to some degree, using CSS code, see [https://tablepress.org/faq/column-widths/](https://tablepress.org/faq/column-widths/)
 * To add more spacing inside the cells, you can also use CSS code, like
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-123 thead th,
       .tablepress-id-123 tbody td {
         padding-left: 20px;
         padding-right: 20px;
       }
       ```
   
 * (where 123 needs to be changed to the correct table ID).
 * Regards,
    Tobias
