Dreamweaver 2021 Tables Properties Issue

Hello

 

I am working on a video listing using Tables. When I use properties a few features work as with changing color. I need to align the left column with test to the left. As in the video nothing happens. 

If I am missing the obvious let me know.

Or should I revert to an earlier version of Dreamweaver? 
Or possibly do something with the code?

Let me know.

Thanks!

So basically here's what's happening with your site.  The "align" attribute isn't actually valid HTML anymore. So what is happening is the browsers are reverting to line 83 in y our code where you have set all "th" cells to be align:center. Personally speaking based on the validation errors I am getting from your page, I would consider updating the overall page template and cleaning up a lot of the CSS to help with the updating and ongoing maintenance of the site.

Could be an issue in the code. Can you try validating your code to ensure there are no errors? https://validator.w3.org/ .  Also if you can post the page online, we can look if there is conflicting code or something else that is preventing the change from being made.  Or if you want, post a video with the Live View and Code View split so we can see what is happening.

Hello

Thanks for the help. It's a basic table. Need the descriptive text to line up left side to give a good visual appearance.

This is the table I am working on:
