 * I have tried to set the border to Zero. Set Table border to white, just like 
   the background. I even set the Cell border to white and still I get a fine black
   border. How do you get rid of the border?
    Help

 * Hi Les,
 * Tables are almost always styled by the theme.
 * When you use the editor to create styles to a table; you’re actually over-riding
   the styles that are used in your theme.
 * While this is okay in instances where you want to create a table different from
   your theme; it is better to change your theme to reflect how you want tables 
   to appear on your site. This will help tremendously with consistency.
 * So, are you wanting to get rid of the table border on all tables.. or just one
   particular table?

 * Thanks for the response Josh. I did find exactly what you stated. After I turned
   off “Borders” in my theme, it worked as I wanted. As I understand it, if I turn
   off borders in the Theme, I can then add them for one table if I need it. You
   mentioned “Consistency”. While this can be a good thing, it can also limit creativity.
   
   Thanks for the help.

 * Absolutely…. a double-edged sword 🙂
 * Your are correct.
    You should be able to adjust the border table via the editor.
   This will over-ride whatever style is set by your theme for table borders.
 * That is what I was suggesting.
    Change the theme to display tables how you like.
   Then, use the plugin to make adjustments to tables when necessary.
 * Glad you got it working.
 * Please let me know if you run into any other ‘table’ issues; since it’s functionality
   is in relatively high demand.
 * Thanks Les.
