I have a wide table, which by default makes the page look like:

|    xxxxxx         |
|    xxxxxx         |
|    ______________ |
|    |             ||
|    |             ||
|    ______________ |
|    xxxxxx         |
|    xxxxx          |

I'd like it look like:

|    xxxxxx         |
|    xxxxxx         |
|  ________________ |
| |                ||
| |                ||
|  ________________ |
|    xxxxxx         |
|    xxxxx          |

I have tried setting the geomotry:

\newgeometry{left=0.2in, right=0.2in}
\begin{table}
.....
\end{table}
\restoregeometry

But this will create a single page for the table.

Often, (if L/R symmetry is desired) using \makebox[\textwidth]{...overwide object...} will suffice. If you are not in a centering environment, you may also need a leading \noindent. – Steven B. Segletes May 22 '15 at 01:31
Do you mean you want the overwide table to extend into both margins, rather than only the right margin? – dgoodmaniii May 22 '15 at 01:34

Please see How can I center a too wide table? – Paul Gessler May 22 '15 at 01:37
Also (this one's even more comprehensive; sorry, I didn't find it right way): Center figure that is wider than \textwidth – Paul Gessler May 22 '15 at 02:10
