# Getting Column widths right!

 * I am using Tablepress to format some table data. I have sorted the row height
   OK but am now struggling to get the column widths right. At the moment they are
   too wide and there is far too much white space after the data.
 * Have a look at page…[here](http://prestburytennis.org/junior-team-successes/)
 * The CSS code I have is…
 * .Singles-Table-Format th,
    .Singles-Table-Format td { border-collapse: collapse;
   line-height: 12px; padding: 1px; }
 * Suggestions for what else I need to add will be much appreciated!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * For changing the column widths, please see the question “How can I set column
   widths?” in the TablePress FAQ at [http://tablepress.org/faq/](http://tablepress.org/faq/)
 * Most likely, this should already help:
 *     ```
       #content .Singles-Table-Format {
         width: auto;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Brilliant! That works a treat – thanks.
 * PS. I had read the FAQs, but, that didn’t give that specific advice
