[reportlab-users] Table margin

[Arkadi Colson]

I set all margins to 10*mm
I draw 4 lines with canvas on the margins to get a box
Then I add a table to the story with hAliagn='LEFT' and I see a little 
margin before the table. So the left side of the table is not positioned 
on the left margin line.
When I do story.append(Indenter(left=-2.5)) before the table, the table 
moves to th left but all canvas object after the Indenter also.
