 * I am displaying several tables on 1 page, however, some tables appear to align
   text differently. Please advise.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fissue-align-text%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The reason for this is that the width of the table columns is calculated by the
   browser, depending on the length of the text in the cells.
    To set these equal
   on this page (which internally has the WordPress page ID 2528), please add this
   to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen of TablePress:
 *     ```
       .page-id-2528 .tablepress .column-1 {
           width: 20%;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
