 * I”m sorry to post this question but I have read thru the FAQs and also tried 
   to search the support forum and can’t find an answer to my problem. I’m sure 
   it’s a very easy answer – I just can’t seem to figure it out 🙂
 * I’m using WordPress 4.1.1 and TablePress 1.5.1.
 * I just started using TablePress – I like it a lot and I have figured out how 
   to do most of what I want to do, but there’s one simple thing I can’t figure 
   out how to get working. I just need to set the width of the table – either by
   percent or pixels. I don’t see that option on the table edit screen. I tried 
   adding custom CSS on the Plugin Options table, but can’t seem to get a width 
   to work.
 * I need to indent the table a little on the left, so I need to shorten the table
   for it to fit. Thanks in advance for any help!

 * Here’s the Custom CSS I’m trying to use:
 * .tablepress-id-3,
    .tablepress-id-3 tr, .tablepress-id-3 tbody td, .tablepress-
   id-3 thead th, .tablepress-id-3 tfoot th { margin-left: 75px; border-color: #
   999; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; line-height: normal; word-spacing:
   normal; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; letter-spacing: normal; font-size:
   10pt; }
 * .tablepress-id-3,
    .tablepress-id-3 tr, .tablepress-id-3 tbody td, { width: 80%;}
 * .tablepress-id-3 .column-1 {
    width: 25%; }
 * .tablepress-id-3 .column-2 {
    width: 25%; }
 * .tablepress-id-3 .column-3 {
    width: 25%; }
 * .tablepress-id-3 .column-4 {
    width: 25%; }
