MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / April 2006Extending page
I've got XP Home and XP Office. In Word, the page is about 6 inches in breadth max. How can I extend it as far as possible, double or treble, so life becomes easier when I am tabulating info. TIA The 6" default page width comes from using the default 1.25" left and right margins on 8.5" US Letter paper. You can reduce the margins to get up to 8.5" line length (though Word will warn you about unprintable area). If you select Legal paper size and Landscape orientation, you can get up to 14". The maximum page width and length in Word is 22", but to get this you have to select a printer driver that supports this paper size. For what you are doing, you should be using Excel.

Excel is not appropriate for my work, and I do not need to print it.

If you don't need to print your work, I assure you that Excel will be more satisfactory. It's especially useful in creating large tables because you can use Freeze Panes to keep the headings and stubs in view as you scroll down and across the table. SignatureSuzanne S.
