Good advice.

To enlarge a bit on the reason for it: In Word, tables can extend
downward across page breaks, but there's no way to get it to place
some columns on one page and other columns in the same table on
another page. Excel can manage that trick easily.

You can just copy the table you already have, and paste it into Excel.
It will transfer directly.

Hi, I'm interested in making a large table over several pages that I can
then
print out and scotchtape together to hang on my wall. Thus far I've
managed
to make the type of table that I'd like but I can't figure out how to
enlarge
it over several pages. Any ideas?
