 * Hi
 * [http://www.toonhaze.com/](http://www.toonhaze.com/) This is my website and I
   am having trouble getting tables to work using a WYSIWYG plugin TinyMCE. I’ve
   made a table consisting of 2 columns and 5 rows. First column is for the image
   and second one is for description. Title is in the top of the second column and
   short description below it (in the same box).
    As you see the text is at the 
   bottom and I don’t know how to force it to:
 * 1). be on the same level as the image
    2). be in the top of the square (cell)
 * Please help
 * EDIT: Here is what it looks like in Dashboard [https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10484650/tables.png](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10484650/tables.png)
 * (Another weird thing is that I don’t see the horisontal borders of the tables(
   I use Twenty Eleven theme) which makes it harder for me to work with tables. 
   If this question could be answered as well, I would be very glad.)

 * Hi.
    You need to apply the `vertical-align` CSS property to your `<td>` tags 
   from your theme’s main style sheet (`style.css`). If you only want to target 
   tables in your content area, do this:
 *     ```
       #main table td {
       vertical-align: middle;
       }
       ```
   
 * Cheers!

 * Awesome. Thanks 🙂 But… when I try to seperate “Title” from “Description”, they
   merge together when I preview… is there a way to force Title to be at the top
   and the description to be 2 lines below it?

 * Yeah, you can stick each text in different table rows or use the `<br>` tag (
   line jump).
