Having real problems trying to alter a cell's size

I changed the menu names to a more human-readable format and now some of them are quite large.
I went to the editor and tried every way I could think of to widen the menu page's cell/table. It just refuses to work.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
I just cannot find how to expand and organize the menu in the visual editor. If I split into columns, it adds a column to the outside. If I right click and choose cell options and input a value, it does nothing. If I check Table Options and make changes, it changes the overall table, but not the cell of the text menu.
Now that the menu choices are rather long, it word wraps and looks terrible. I need to clean this up and make it look good.
Question: Can you import graphic buttons to take the place of the text menu items? I am a graphic designer and web developer and would love to create my own buttons and graphics for the database (other than the header and footer). If so, how do you do it?
Thanks.

I figured out how to change the cell size, but it's a pain in the butt and the second you press SAVE, the menu changes back.
I would still like to know if I can import graphic buttons instead of using text links?

You can use CSS to modify parameters of each element, including the main menu. Foe example, if you use Amsterdam layout you can proceed to the List page in Visual Editor, switch to HTML mode and add the following code snippet at the end of file:

<STYLE>

#mainmenu_block {width:300px}

#searchPanelContainer{$id}{width: 300px}

#left_block{$id} {width:300px}

#records_block{$id} {padding-left:303px;}

</STYLE>


This article explains how to find which CSS class is responsible for each element:

I guess the same applies to other modifications like using graphic images instead of text links.
