Chris,

I discovered nearly the same thing awhile ago, but my solution my not work for you. You are correct that when the table is wider than the 2/3 part, the title moves all the way to the left. In my case, I want the title to align left in the 2/3 part, even though the table extends into the sidehead area. I do this by applying a different style to the table title; this style indents the title by the width of the sidehead area. This works in my case because the sidehead area is always on the left side.

In your case, how do you want things to be if the table extends into the sidehead area but not all the way to the page margin? And how do you want things to be when the table breaks across a page? In my scenario above, I think the table title will indent on the second page but the table will be aligned left. I am just guessing because I have never worked with mirrored sideheads. So, it works for the first page but not the second.

Maybe you should consider having only two table widths: one that fits in the 2/3 text flow and one that fits in the full width of the page margins. In the latter, you will have to have the title left aligned in order for it to be the same when it crosses the page boundary. It means having two different positions for the title, but these are the only positions that will look the same as they cross the page boundary.

Hope this helps a little,
Van
