It even corrects for common mis-spellings. Actually Google will return the same results whether you searched for “colour” or “color”, so there’s no need to include both spellings.

Preferably with evenly sized columns.. The table is not too big, a problem that your code seems to be written to cope with. If you have any suggestions, they are very welcome.

Do you know the magic trick? Magnus Fitting Tables Onto Pages

Hi Mark,

Im using your command to make tables as wide as the text width, but the command has the unwanted effect of scaling the text size up too :-S

It does not work to set the text size to normal either… Do you know the magic trick?

I had various problems with the sizes of margins not being right, even though I entered them carefully in LyX, but I think that those turned out to be caused by me selecting options in Acrobat Reader's print dialog that caused the page to be scaled when printing. Hope you manage to find a solution somewhere Diana,

If yes, could you find a way to solve it? Thanks, Diana Hi Mark,
