 * Good day.
 * I am trying to accomplish this table.
    [http://www.family-service.org/family-service/impacts-2/](http://www.family-service.org/family-service/impacts-2/)
 * However, I need to use colspan.
 * I need for row one to be 2 cells. 1610 should be approximately 100px and the 
   text should be in 1 cell.
    The second row first cell should be 100 px with text
   aligned right and the next cell text close to the cell.
 * Not sure if I’m making sense. I can do this withi html/css
 * <table width=”750″ border=”1″ cellspacing=”3″ cellpadding=”3″>
    <tbody> <tr> 
   <td width=”50″ align=”right”>1,610</td> <td colspan=”2″ align=”left”>Number of
   children the Early Childhood program has enhanced their physical and emotional
   well-being as well as establish an environment to develop strong cognitive skills.
   </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan=”2″ align=”right”>214,457</td> <td width=”641″ align
   =”left”>Total amount of hours volunteers have served in all programs Family Service
   has to offer.</center></td> </tr> <tr> <td align=”right”>90%</td> <td colspan
   =”2″ align=”left”>Percentage of clients that are satisfied with our counselors
   and the services they provide including individual couples, families and group
   counseling addressing abuse and neglect.</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan=”2″ align
   =”right”>324</td> <td align=”left”>Number of clients that our Financial Empowerment
   successfully helped to reduce their total debt by 10%.</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </
   td> <td colspan=”2″> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td width=”21″> </td> <td> </
   td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
 * I looked at your support and the info is great. I’ve tried all and still not 
   working. Will you help me please?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * You can indeed combine table cells in TablePress: For that, let your table have
   three columns, and then use the “colspan” button below the table input fields.
   Use the “?” there to learn how this works.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
