 * Hello,
 * I notice that tables (on pages, for example) get scaled along with the width 
   of the window, which in many cases makes the table harder to read. I’ve tried
   specifying the width in the text editor, but it makes no difference and the width
   of the table still changes with the width of the window. Is there a way to stop
   it from doing this?
 * Thanks!

 * [@mr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mr/) Case,
 * I’m new to html/css – is it going to be relatively basic to edit this property?
   Any code suggestions?
 * Thank you!
