Tables greater than 63 columns
I want to create a table in Word with 104 columns, but I
seem unable to create a table larger than 63 columns, despite altering fonts, page size, margins, etc. Even when I paste from Excel, the resultant table only has 63 columns (also, why 63? why not 59? or 71?) Many thanks for your help in this matter |

Tables greater than 63 columns
Bonjour,
Dans son message, Terence Karran écrivait : In this message, Terence Karran wrote: || I want to create a table in Word with 104 columns, but I || seem unable to create a table larger than 63 columns, || despite altering fonts, page size, margins, etc. Even || when I paste from Excel, the resultant table only has 63 || columns (also, why 63? why not 59? or 71?) || || Many thanks for your help in this matter The limit is 63 Columns x 32767 Rows. These numbers are not arbitrary. My guess is that it has to do with he fact that Word stores information in binary format. These numbers in binary are 111111 x 111111111111111 (or in Hexadecimal: 3F x 7FFF) If the limit was one digit higher, 64 x 32768, this would give: 100000 x 1000000000000000 (or 40 x 8000 in Hex) Which are probably to great for the allocated bytes in memory. If you need such a large table, you have to work in Excel, then split it in two and paste the two parts in Word as two separate tables, one next to each other. Lots of fiddling, but it can be done. -- Salut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP ISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org |
