 * Greetings,
    I have created a table and it is displaying a solid line between “
   Proofing Skills” and the table of “Skills”! Any suggestions? **[moderated: signature

 * About table, please identify exactly which theme you are using and then post 
   in that theme’s dedicated forum via its page in the [Theme Repository](https://wordpress.org/themes/)
   so the theme’s developers and support community can help you with this.

 * This is a theme that I created from a non-WordPress theme called “Nuno” developed
   as part of a Udemy course.
    I converted the Udemy theme to WordPress and added
   or subtracted pieces. The table was a new part to save me from many <div col-
   md-4 entries.

 * Look for this css rule in your theme’s main.css:
 *     ```
       thead, tfoot {
           background-color: 
       #333;
       color:
       #fff;
       border: 1px solid;
       }
       ```
   
 * Try changing it to:
 *     ```
       thead, tfoot {
           background-color: 
       #fff;
       color:
       #fff;
       border: noned;
       }
       ```

 * t-p,
    Further research lead me to a “simple table” using the following code:
 *     ```
                           <table>
                                   <tr>
                                       <td>Microsoft Word</td>
                                       <td>Mastery of the Written Word</td>
                                       <td>Attention to Detail</td>
                                   </tr>
                                   <tr>
                                       <td>Track Changes</td>
                                       <td>Language Proficiency</td>
                                       <td>Pages are spaced correctly</td>
                                   </tr>
                                   <tr>
                                       <td>Spelling/Grammar</td>
                                       <td>Creativity</td>
                                       <td>Quick Document Turn Around</td>
                                   </tr>
                           </table>
       ```
   
 * CSS code becomes even simpler:
 *     ```
       table {
           width: 100%;
           margin-left: 40px;
           margin-top: 0;
       }
   
       table,
       td {
           border: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * I have not changed thewordproofer.com yet. That I will definitely do tomorrow.
   
   Thanks for your help as it helped direct me to the correct solution. The <tr>
   <th> combination forced the solid line.
