Hi all.

I'm using the nice \bTABLE natural tables commands to set my tables. I'm 
now running into tables which need a little extra space, and since I 
have a wide left margin I would like them to extend into it. By default 
they extend into the right marging, which doesn't have very much space 
and looks ugly.

Because I'm using [split=yes] to enable tables to split over pages, I 
don't want to just put the whole table in a box and then shift it to the 
left. I am wondering if I can use a localised setuplayout to change the 
left margin just for the duration of the table? Or is there another 
clean way to get specific tables to extend into the left margin?

Many thanks.
