I just joined and am hoping someone here can enlighten me. My problem example has two tables with nearly identical text. In the first table, pdflatex ignores the table width and the table goes right off the right side of the page. In the second table, the table width is respected and the table looks correct.
I'm using a fairly well up-to-date MikTex 2.7 on Windows XP.
This problem is driving me crazy. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks.

You're right. I've been confused by the fact that, in the considered examples, the target width is the linewidth of the text surrounding the table. In addition, my first thought was that, in the line, \Gscale@div\TY@ratio\TY@linewidth\TY@tablewidth, the macro \Gscale@div had one argument, so \TY@linewidth\TY@tablewidth became a length assignment. I should have verified that \Gscale@div has three arguments. No excuses, I was wrong.
