# Tables in wordpress?

 * I can insert a table into WP but I cannot seem to modify the borders for some
   reason. Is there a way (plug in or special coding) to make table borders look
   3D? I tried installing a plug in that modifies the borders, and it does, in admin
   page but it doesn’t show up on the main page. It goes back to simple lines. Trying
   to figure it out, is it a limitation of the WP or am I doing something wrong?
   Thank you in advance.

 * This is probably an issue with your theme’s CSS file. In many themes, the CSS
   contains default styles for `<table>` tags and their contents. This means that
   the CSS will trump any attributes you supply in the tag (the HTML 4 attributes).
 * In short, you can supply a tag-level Style statement (if you want this table 
   to be a certain way and leave all other tables unaffected), or you might want
   to modify the theme’s CSS file (so that all tables are styled the same way, and
   you don’t have to style all the tags individually).

 * Ok, I can see how I can change few parameters around, but what should I do if
   I wanted completely custom table border/graphic. Can I just delete table properties
   in CSS file, or have to modify it somehow to let each table have its own code?

 * Thanks, I figured it out. My theme did have it specified, just deleting table
   code resolved the issue.
