I figured maybe Gordon was assuming (rather astutely, actually) that the
table might be broadside (i.e., the paper in landscape orientation), in
which case a table sized for Letter (11") would not automatically expand to
fit 14" paper unless the width were set to 100%.

He means length ... down in Gordon's hemisphere, they size paper with
those numbers (A4, etc.) but legal is just letter-size paper that's
14" instead of 8.5" long.
Things you could do to shorten it include reducing the font size,
reducing the cell top & bottom borders to 0 (that's the "Options"
button in the Table Properties panel, under either "Table" or "Cell"),
and changing the Paragraph Spacing to Exactly some smaller number than
it is.

Also have you looked that the Table Properties? If the table is defined to
be
a certain specific width (measured in inches or centimeters depending on
your
settings) rather than a percentage, when you paste it into your letter
size
page it will retain those exact measurements - even if it runs over the
margins. Change the width of the table and you should be sweet.

I have a word table that is currently legal size and I need to attach
it to
another document that is letter size. I cannot get it to reduce to
letter
size. What might I be doing wrong?-
