It sounds as if you may have had a negative left indent set for the table,
or it is centered and too wide for the page.

I had a table in portrait format that I tried to convert to landscape.
When
I did, the left margin of the first column was no longer visible. Even
when
I deleted every other column, I still could not retrieve the left margin.
This happens periodically when I try to change the size of cloumns.
Sometimes the right margin disappears, but I can usually get it back by
making the other columns smaller. Is there some manual that addresses
Word
Tables in detail that would discuss problems like these? I am using
MSWord
2000.
