    it works and I turned the flag for the showframe off after the distance for the adjustwidth was found (\usepackage[showframe=false]{geometry}) Commented Nov 1, 2011 at 18:32

    This doesn't work well with \begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{...}, but you can either set it to 1.5\textwidth or something that looks nice instead, or fall back to tabular instead. Does adjustwidth offer a better variable for the new width? Commented May 28, 2020 at 22:42
  • Very good solution thank you but I had a compile error "option clash for package geometry" with the "showframe=true" option on \usepackage[showframe=true]{geometry} So i had to get rid of it, and I worked great anyway ! Why was it useful for ? Commented Aug 26, 2020 at 12:24
  • I loaded the geometry package with showframe=true just so that you an see where the page boundaries lie. Commented Aug 27, 2020 at 13:11
