 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The problem here is that the table is too wide already. You could however try
   setting a minimum width for the columns as well. For that, please use
 *     ```
       ... {
         text-align: center;
         width: 120px;
         min-width: 120px;
       }
       ```
   
 * in the CSS command part.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
