 * If I use below in a three column table
 * .tablepress-id-7 .column-1,
    .tablepress-id-7 .column-2 { width: 150px; }
 * ~Columns 1 and 2 go to specified width and column 3 goes to default width
 * However if i use to get all columns to 150px
 * .tablepress-id-7 .column-1,
    .tablepress-id-7 .column-2, .tablepress-id-7 .column-
   3 { width: 150px; }
 * none of the columns go to specified width, they all are standard width, i.e. 
   each is a 1/3 of page width???
 * Im using the customizr theme and am very new to all this so feel slightly out
   of my depth!! Go easy on me!!
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * If you want to change all three columns of a three-column table, you’ll also 
   need to tell the table to not stretch to the full width. For that, please try
   adding this as well:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-7 {
         width: auto;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
