 * Hi I need to change the shortcake of a table. I do not want the automatic table
   ID.
 * Past tables I had were named (AP, AP-2, AP-3) and I have over 100 pages with 
   shortcodes based on the old code.
 * Many thanks,
 * Gerry

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post.
 * You can change the table ID on each table’s “Edit” screen.

 * Many thanks Tobias, I feel like an idiot. The table information section was ‘
   rolled up’ so couldn’t see it.

 * Hi Lisa,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The Shortcode that needs to be changed is NOT on the table’s “Edit” screen, but
   on the “Edit” screen of the page where you have inserted the table.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
