I have a table in a word doc with the last column running off the right margin. Can't get the edge to come back on to the page so that I can view all of the content. The doc is in landscape orientation.

    Have you tried 'AutoFit Window'? Click in table>Table Tools>Layout>AutoFit>AutoFit Window.

    If that does not work decrease the width of other columns until you can adjust the last column.

    Put the selection in the part of the table that you can access and then on the Table Tools>Layout tab, click on Properties and then adjust the column widths.

    If that doesn't allow you to access all of the information, on the Data section of the Table Tools>Layout tab, click on Convert to Text.  You can then reconvert it back to a table via the Insert tab, Table dropdown, Convert Text to Table.
