Re: designing for print question

Yes, it is because the table is wider than the printed page.

To make sure things will print in portrait mode, you need to keep your 
table set to the number that will "fit" in a printed page. That number WILL 
vary, depending on the printer of the person doing the printing. Some 
printers will print no wider than 600 pixels.

Of course, if this is something that is expected to be printed, can make a 
2nd "printer friendly page" with *just* the text on it (not in a 
fixed-width table), linked from the orig. page.
