shifting a table outside margins?
Is there any way to force a table to move to the left outside the normal margins? I have a table in a document that really won't fit into a size any smaller than about 7 inches across, but I don't want margins to be that wide on letter paper. The other way I see attacking this would be to rotate the table, but then I'd want to rotate the whole page. I tried the package rotating (or rotate?..) but couldn't get it to work on the page with the table. :( TIA!
