Perhaps you tried to fix it by changing the page orientation to landscape or change the column widths.  However nothing seems to solve the problem.

Wait!  There is a simple fix…

  • From the menu bar, click Table.
  • Click Properties. (if you don’t see Properties, click the double-down arrow at the end of the menu list)
  • From the Table tab in the Size section, change the Size Preferred width “Measure in:” to Percent.

  • Reduce “Preferred width” to 100%.
  • Click OK.
  • Your table will now contain itself within the set page margins.

:) Ahhh, now doesn’t that feel better?  Happy computing!
