Actually ive just remembered another possible method i've used before based on the premise that some columns will always be wider than others eg:

Price   Item
$5      Really Really Really Wide nested table
$2      Fixed width css styled div

So why not try setting a fixed column size for columns like 'Item' which are inheritantly wider than others, so the content wraps eg:


Price Item $5 Really Really Really Wide nested table $2 Fixed width css styled div

Thanks Neerav

I've got rid of everything I can and reduced the fonts as much as I
dare and its still >300px too wide for a landscape A4.

I've tried setting widths to auto, 100%, 9999px - nothing makes a difference.
