Hi,
Does anyone know any fancy tricks to get a wide table to fit within the
page margins? I have a table inside a float and it keeps going off my
right margin. I tried playing with the document margins but I still
can't get it to fit. I also reduced the text size to tiny and still no
luck. I am using the basic 'article' document class. If I change the
document class to 'article(IEEEtran)' then table is able to fit with in
the page margins. However I would like to get this to work with the
regular 'article' document type. Thank you in advance.

in LyX 1.4
A) right click in a column of the table, which brings up the "LyX: Table
Settings" dialog.
B) select the "Table Settings" tab.
C) enter a number in the "Width:" entry box.
D) pick how you want that number used with the pull down to the right of the
entry box.
E) do this for each column of the table.
If for example you have 4 columns, and want them even, I would set the Width
to 25 and set the pull down to either text% or page%.
play with the pull down and see which ones you like.
Note that the UserGuide.lyx [help -> User's Guide] section 4.4 (and especially
4.4.4) may be help more.
Note 4.4.1 needs some help as some of the devs took out some table
functionality about adding and deleting rows and columns.
Hope this helps.
