[pdftex] Overiding left margin for overwide table

Tue Nov 28 07:59:27 CET 2006

Hello All,

I have an over wide table, and would like to know if it is possible to move
the margin or "centre" it, just for the one table individually.

\documentclass[a4paper, 11pt, mainfile, MScProj]{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}
    \begin{center}
        % 5 columns
        \begin{tabular}{|p{2cm}|p{2cm}|p{2cm}|p{2cm}|c|}
        \hline
        \bf{Frequency: 1st Born of 3 Girls} & \bf{Frequency: 2nd Born of 3
Girls} & \bf{Frequency: 3rd Born of 3 Girls} & \bf{Achieved Percentile
Range} & \bf{Range Achievement Description} \\
        \hline
         2   & 1   & 3 &  95\%-100\%    &Intellectually superior \\
         2   & 1   & 2 &  90\%-94\% &Above average in intellectual capacity
\\
         0   & 4   & 4 &  75\%-89\% &Above average in intellectual
capacity\\
         5   & 1   & 2 &  51\%-74\% &Intellectually average \\
         0   & 0   & 0 &  50\% &Intellectually average \\
         1   & 3   & 0 &  26\%-50\% &Intellectually average \\
         1   & 1   & 0 &  11\%-25\% &Below average \\
         0   & 0   & 0 &  6\%-10\%  &Below average \\
         0   & 0   & 0 &  0\%-5\%  & Intellectually impaired \\
        \hline
      \end{tabular}
        \caption{Collated number of participants from 3 daughter families
scoring per percentile range}

\label{tab:Collated-number-of-participants-from-3-daughter-families-scoring-
per-percentile-range}
    \end{center}
\end{table}
