 * Is there any way to make the whole table smaller? Just so it looks smaller and
   doesn’t take up the whole page. I don’t want to make the rows or columns more
   condensed, just make the table as a whole smaller if you know what I mean.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Usually, something like
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-123 {
         width: auto;
       }
       ```
   
 * works for this.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Well I don’t really mean that. Like say I zoomed my screen out…everything would
   look smaller. I want to make a table look like that so everything just looks 
   smaller, so say I could fit a table with 10 rows and 5 columns into a smaller
   space. Do you kind of get what I mean? Sorry it’s kind of hard to put into words
   haha

 * Hi,
 * ok, so in that case you want to reduce the font size and maybe the padding in
   the cells, I guess:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-123 th,
       .tablepress-id-123 td {
         padding: 4px;
         font-size: 10px;
       }
       ```

    Tobias

 * I will try that and see if it works the way I am hoping. Thanks!
