 * Hi, just a quick question, do I need to add CSS to change the overall form width,
   or do I need to change it within a shortcode ? Not sure if i need to change any
   files otherwise.
 * At the moment the form works great, but its just to much white space and crunched
   up.
 * Thanks
 * Addy

 * Changes like this need to be done in the CSS, the shortcodes don’t do anything
   with formatting like that. There is a “Custom CSS” setting available in the plugin
   settings which is a convenient place to put CSS rules that will affect plugin
   output only.

 * Would I need to look in the code so i get hold of the correct element class ?

 * It’d best to do this in your browser: Turn on the developer tools and use the
   inspector to look at the HTML. You can experiment with changing the CSS rules
   to see what you need to do to get the results you want.
 * If you’re not sure how to use the developer tools, it
    s easy to find articles
   explaining how to do it using the browser of your choice.
