Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Change Margins for table fitting

[gonzales81]

Hello everybody!

I have a wide table that doesn't fit the document margins, even if I use scriptsize font.
(I set margins=2.2cm in the preamble using the geometry package).
how can I change the margins just for the table?
I tried and create a custom environment using list for chaning the left margin.

Code: Select all

\newenvironment{newMargins}[1]%
   {\begin{list}{}%
     {\setlength\labelwidth{0pt}%
      \setlength\leftmargin{#1}}\item[]}%
   {\end{list}}

but it seems to work only with text, not with tables.
Plz help me!
Ty

Instead of changing margins, you may try a solution like this one.

An alternative could be to use the narrow environment introduced in epslatex (Section 23 - Wide figures, p. 90).
