 * Excellent plugin, thank you!
 * I know this is an oft-discussed topic, but I’m still having trouble aligning 
   text vertically in cells, which I believe would eliminate uneven spacing between
   cells, as seen here: [http://www.annalaurent.com/new/press](http://www.annalaurent.com/new/press)
 * I added this CSS:
 * .tablepress-id-3 tbody td {
    vertical-align: top; }
 * Is there a different issue?
 * Thank you!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The `vertical-align` property that you set with that command is working as intended.
 * Where exactly are you having problems with the spacing, i.e. where do you want
   to change it?
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thanks for your reply. Hmm, I guess I’m trying to get the height of the cells
   to reflect the amount of content in them, to standardize the white spaces between
   groups of text. Perhaps the issue is with the photo to the left? I included #
   rowspan#s below the photo.

 * Hi,
 * do you mean the white space between the quotes in those cells?
 * That could indeed be tricky with this layout. It might be better to simply put
   all quotes that belong to the image into a single cell. That way, you won’t need
   any `#rowspan#`s either.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
