Roger,

I appreciate you acknowledging the reality of my issue.

The "papers" articles are typical of articles that  that would be nice to
alter. Your idea of playing with the table width via javascript is quite
innovative. I wonder how difficult that would be to do and how common is
the approach.

Wait...
It turns out that I misread your comments at first. You in fact were
suggesting that other web pages could be easily changed also. I thought you
meant to change webpage that *are* so written. I don't know if I could even
progammatically change ones that *are* so written.

Anyhow, there is considerable insight in your post.
