 * good morning ::
 * I had created some tables that load images in a grid.

 * My question :: is there any way to just reduce the overall size of the table 
   without swapping out the images. I would like the entire table (with the images)
   to appear at 40% instead of at full size.
 * any thoughts?

 * Hi Jay,
 * thanks for your question.
 * Usually, some “Custom CSS” code like
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-123 {
         width: 40%;
       }
       ```
   
 * works fine.
    Unfortunately, I can’t check, as the page in your link does not 
   contain a table?!
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi Tobias, I am facing the same issue as described above. I want to resize the
   table (ID=2) located on my site below to about 70 percent.
    [http://www.comparerowingmachines.com/](http://www.comparerowingmachines.com/)
   i posted the code below on the Custom CSS section of the TablePress plugin page.
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-2 {
         width: 40%;
       }
       ```
   
 * While the necessary adjustments are indicated when i preview the table in TablePress,
   the table stays the same on my homepage even after repeated loading of my page
   and trying other browsers. what do i do?
    Thanks, Chuck

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * That won’t work like that, unfortunately. Your table simply contains too much
   content for the space that is available on that page.
    Instead of trying to limit
   the width of the table, you will therefore need to make the minimum width of 
   the columns smaller, or remove content. An initial step could be to add this 
   CSS to make the images in the second column smaller:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-1 img {
         max-width: 100%;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
