Yes

turns out I had a stray width="100%" being set.
Once I removed that the table centered for
AntennaHouse but RenderX still sets the table to the left margin.

Also it was strange that my tables were sized
correctly based upon the <col> information, but
the width=100% didn't cause the table to override
those settings. Logically I guess it made the
bounding area to be 100% even though the table didn't use it.

This one I think I was just looking at the right
graphic when checking the settings and result.

thanks much
