Brilliant. Thanks for the help. :-)

@Vertigrator are the widths set inline or via CSS? If it's set with CSS you could override with your own CSS (which could work with inline too with !important. Alternatively I could add some events so users can create their own callback to do this.

The widths were inline, added by SharePoint automatically. So what I did was use javascript to remove all the width attributes after the page loads. I hate rich text editors that try to be smart by adding things like this that we don't want.
// Remove all the width attributes that SharePoint adds to tables $(document).ready(function ($) { $('.epa .main-content table th, .epa .main-content table td').each(function () { $(this).removeAttr("width"); }); });

Ah I see, yes if you have no control over that - unfortunately. BTW based on your sample from the other issue it looks like the widths are set in the style attribute rather than the width attribute. You also don't have to do a .each for jQuery as it'll apply to all instances (not vanilla js though) so you could just do:

$('.epa .main-content table th, .epa .main-content table td').css('width', '');
