I have always run Emacs full screen and never set any margins, so the text goes 
from one side of my screen to the other.  (It's not a big screen.)  Today I'm 
trying out narrowing how text is displayed by setting left-margin-width and 
right-margin-width, so there's blank space on either side.  It looks good for 
most things, and helps readability.

But for tables it can be a problem because sometimes I have a table that i want 
as wide as possible.  Is there a way to have tables fit inside the margin-width 
settings until they get too wide, then expand out?  That way a small table isn't 
flush left, but a big one is.

Or perhaps there is a way to set Org tables to have margin-widths of 0, so it 
would be:  narrowed paragraph, narrowed paragraph, table flush left, narrowed 
paragraph.

Has anyone here configured something like this?  If there's a hook to use it's 
beyond what I can hack.  Any related tips or configurations would be welcome too.


Thanks,

Bill
