 * Hi, I have been trying to make a new one column table narrower. I’ve tried some
   of the code I found in FAQs but it does not work. I wondered of there was something
   in the theme code getting in the way.
 * I want to place a one column table in the primary widget area. I need it to be
   around 60% of the widget space not taking up the full width.

    Table number 
   ID 34
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I checked your site, but I don’t see a table in the sidebar there…
    Am I missing
   something?

 * Hi,
 * ah, ok 🙂
 * For reducing the width of that table, just use this “Custom CSS”:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-34 {
         width: 60%;
       }
       ```

 * Tobias, thanks that did work but one more question please. How do I centre it
   in the widget?

 * Hi,
 * for that, just extend the code to
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-34 {
         width: 60%;
         margin: 0 auto;
       }
       ```
