 * Hi,
    Thanks for the plugin! I am however a little lost. How do I change the table
   line width, and the color of the lines? And how do I center text in the table?
   Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question!
 * This is one of the not thaaaaat easy things: You will need some basic knowledge
   about CSS, a styling language for websites. While this might be tough in the 
   beginning, this gives you a lot of flexibility and a lot of freedom in styling
   your tables.
    In TablePress, you can enter such CSS code into the “Custom CSS”
   textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen.
 * As a starting point, I suggest that you take a look at the CSS introduction at
   [http://www.htmldog.com/guides/cssbeginner/](http://www.htmldog.com/guides/cssbeginner/)
   to get a feeling for it. You can then take a look at the FAQ page of the predecessor
   of TablePress, WP-Table Reloaded, at [http://tobias.baethge.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-table-reloaded-english/faq/](http://tobias.baethge.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-table-reloaded-english/faq/)
   and [http://tobias.baethge.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-table-reloaded-english/documentation/](http://tobias.baethge.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-table-reloaded-english/documentation/)
   Unfortunately, I haven’t yet found the time to re-write these for TablePress,
   but they should still be of good help. You’ll just have to keep in mind that 
   every instance of the string `.wp-table-reloaded` by the string `.tablepress`
 * If that does not help, please feel free to post more details about exactly you
   would like to change in which way. I’ll then gladly assist in finding the necessary
   code!
 * Regards,
    Tobias
