MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / September 2006making page wider than 22"? for a table
Been trying to make a table that I can adjust in publisher. In order to do that, apparently I have to make it in word, then paste it in publisher. Can't adjust the cell sizes differently in publisher It is approx. 30" long, by 2" I go to page setup, and it will only allow me to do a max. of 22" either in landscape or portrait mode? Word has a hard-coded limit on the page size of 22" in both directions, so you aren't going to be able to do what you ask. Probably JoAnn will be along in a few minutes to tell you how to fix the table in Publisher...

Well Bruce, in Publisher you never said you wanted a 22" table. This is a different situation. Publisher tables do not overflow to the next page. If you setup your page as a poster or banner you will get more than 22" and you can make the table to fit, the print out will be tiled.

[quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >>> I go to page setup, and it will only allow me to do a max. of 22" >>> either in landscape or portrait mode? Mary, The table actually is about 30 inches long. I don't recall if it was you or someone else suggested of making the the table in word, then pasting it in publisher. There is no problem in making the page 30 inches long in publisher, but word limits to 22" ? Therefore the problem is making a 30 inch table in word if only 22 inches is available? What I need to do, or would like to do is adjust each row differntly in the table. One row I may need at .75, another .25, and another 1. If I highlight, one row of cells, I want to go into properties and adjust it, as with the other rows, but can not do it in word, if it is a 22 inch limits. I can approx. it in publisher but looking at the ruler, but there must be a way to adjust the row/cell properties, without changing all 3 rows? thanks Bruce > Well Bruce, in Publisher you never said you wanted a 22" table.

Good question. I have never used excel actually, would be the reason. Though it should not be all that diffiuclt to do a table in publisher or word, without too much diffiuculty, I thought :) I had used word for the longest time before I got into publisher, and ppt. Not sure I want to endevour to learn excel. > Why not do it in Excel? > [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] >>>>>> I go to page setup, and it will only allow me to do a max. of 22" >>>>>> either in landscape or portrait mode? Hi Bruce, > Good question. > I have never used excel actually, would be the reason. > Though it should not be all that diffiuclt to do a table in publisher or > word, without too much diffiuculty, I thought :) > I had used word for the longest time before I got into publisher, and ppt. > Not sure I want to endevour to learn excel. Not much to learn, if all you want to do is create a static table (as you would in Word). Start the programm :-) Type text into the cells, as required. Drag the cell margins to get the column widths and row heights (or use the Format/Cell command to specify very exact measurements). Select all the cells you need in Publisher. Edit/Copy. Go to Publisher. Edit/Paste. The really nice thing about Excel is that it breaks big things (tables, graphics) across pages - both vertically and horizontally - with an overlap. Love it...
