# TablePress edit screen column width

 * I have stretched the column width on the Edit Table screen. But the problem is
   I have to stretch it every time I open the edit table screen. It does not save.
   My issue is not with the end-result (my column and tables are fine). It’s just
   in the edit table screen.
 * Is there any way to save the stretched column with when I exit the Edit Table
   function?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * For this, you could use the TablePress Extension from [https://tablepress.org/extensions/input-field-size/](https://tablepress.org/extensions/input-field-size/)

 * Thank you. That did work. Is there code for changing column-2 width only in the
   edit table screen?
 * The table is only 2 columns. Column 1 is a narrow column, column 2 has more text
   and needs to be wider.
 * Again, the printed display is fine. This is the link to the end result

 * Hi,
 * you could try adding some extra CSS in the Extension (before the `</style>` in
   line 34) for this:
 *     ```
       .tablepress-edit-screen-id-3 #edit-form-body td:nth-child(4) textarea {
       	min-width: 400px;
       }
       ```
