# Insert image won't work

 * I have downloaded, installed and activated TablePress and am attempting to insert
   an image. I click in the cell and move the cursor to insert image, click and 
   get a message that tells men to click in the cell where I want to image and it
   will open the media library. So I click in the cell I want, click insert image
   and get the message again. I suppose I am doing something wrong, but can’t figure
   out what it is. Please steer me in the right direction.
    Thanks, Joe

 * I dropped down a couple of rows and the dialog worked and deleted the rows above
   so I startee the table in row 1. I entered the CSS: .tablepress-id-N .column-
   2 {padding: 4px;}, am getting the same results as in tablemaker. I need the text
   to left justify next to the image: [http://pleasantgrovepb.com/pleasant-grove-ministries/](http://pleasantgrovepb.com/pleasant-grove-ministries/)
   
   Thanks, Joe

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * From what I can see, the “Insert Image” is working now? You’ll basically have
   to click the button first, then confirm that dialog (but just once per loading
   of the “Edit” screen) and then click into the desired cell.
 * For the widths: You’ll actually not have to modify the padding here. Instead,
   you’ll want to set column widths, from what I understand. For that, please add
   this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-2 .column-1 {
         width: 220px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * That trick pulled the text over!!! YEA!! Is there a way to A. reduce the overall;
   width of the table and once that happens center it on the page?
    Thanks again!

 * Hi Joe,
 * yes, that’s possible as well. Please add this to the “Custom CSS”:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-2 {
       	width: 800px !important;
       	margin: 0 auto 1em;
       }
       ```
