 * Love this plugin – it looks like exactly what I need. One small problem, I can
   not highlight a row or a column to remove them. I am using WordPress 4.0 running
   Atahualpa theme. When I imported the Excel spreadsheet I only had 54 lines. The
   finished import has 90 lines with 36 blank lines. I would like to remove, or 
   hide these blank lines.

 * I would also like to re size the column widths also, but that is another subject,
   one thing at a time!
 * Thanks,
    Mike

 * Hi Mike,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * To delete the extra rows, just click the checkboxes on the left of the rows (
   if you hold down the “Shift” key, you can select multiple rows at once by clicking
   the first and last checkbox). Then, use the “Selected rows: Delete” button.
 * Resizing columns is possible with some “Custom CSS”, which you can find in the
   TablePress FAQ at [http://tablepress.org/faq/column-widths/](http://tablepress.org/faq/column-widths/)
   
   In your case, it should however be enough to set the width of the table wrapper,
   with this “Custom CSS” (on the “Plugin Options” screen):
 *     ```
       #tablepress-2_wrapper {
         width: 600px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Tobias,
    Thanks for your quick response. The problem I am having seems to be 
   that I do not see any boxes to check. Where should I see the boxes, in the regular
   viewing mode or in the preview mode? By the way, the table wrapper code worked
   great. Thanks Mike

 * Hi Mike,
 * those checkboxes are directly on the “Edit” screen (not in the preview), in the“
   Table Content” section, between the row number and the first column’s text field.(
   Compare, e.g. [this screenshot](https://ps.w.org/tablepress/assets/screenshot-2.png?rev=1004620).)

 * Thanks once again! I was overlooking the “Table Content” area. Once I saw your
   graphic, I realized my error.
    Thanks again Tobias
