 * Hi, I have reviewed the support section and FAQs. Although there are several 
   topics on Alignment, my issue is a bit different and I have already played around
   with CSS snippets with no result.
 * I have multiple tables on a single page, all tables have three columns. The alignment
   of the columns, from one table to the next, do not match up. Take a look here:

 * Could someone please suggest how I may be able to fix this?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The reason for this is that the browser calculates different column widths for
   the tables, due to their different content.
    To change this, you’ll need to set
   the column widths of all tables on the page, e.g. with this CSS code
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-3 td,
       .tablepress-id-4 td,
       .tablepress-id-5 td,
       .tablepress-id-6 td,
       .tablepress-id-7 td,
       .tablepress-id-8 td {
           width: 33%;
       }
       ```
   
 * that needs to be added to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options” screen
   of TablePress.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thank you SO much, Tobias. I really appreciate the assistance and your prompt
   response. The code worked perfectly for us and made me realize that I can trim
   down my existing code a bit.
 * Best,
    Joe

 * Hi,
 * all of those Past Masters tables are separate tables with three columns and several
   rows (one row for each line) each.
