LaTex: Table is spilling over page on right

How can I fix a longtable to not spill over on the right? With table I use \scalebox{0.9}, but scalebox does not seem to work with longtable.

\begin{longtable}{cccccccccc}

\caption{This is a caption}\\

TABLE TABLE TABLE

\end{longtable}

My table has ten columns and therefore the margins are not even on both sides. Does anyone know how to center the table so the left and right margins are equal?

figure out which columns are giving you the most problems, then change \begin{longtable}{cccccccccc} to \begin{longtable}{>{\raggedright}p{width-of-column}ccccccccc}

the >{\raggedright} will tell latex to make the cell content with ragged right edges instead of justified

and

the p{width-of-column} will allow you to specify the width of your column.
