fitting a wide table on a vertical page
Hi,
I think there is a simple solution but I cant find any so I post here! I have a large table, like 50 rows and 40 cols, which I want to put into a document, to give an overview of my arguments I developed before. The text is to be printed in ordinary A4 format. So, to solve the tricky problem I have 2 ideas (but none worked up to now): 1/ I rotate the table produced in Excel and copy & paste it. But how to rotate the copied table? 2/ I paste the table as an image and rotate it. This reduces its readibility but ... I do not see how to rotate. There are no handles. BTW: what would you use as image format so that the table can easily be read, even when small? Thanks for your help, Frank |

For solution #1, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...apeSection.htm. For solution #2, the picture must be wrapped (wrapping set to other than In Line With Text) before you can rotate it. -- Suzanne S.
