Default Trouble fitting a large table onto one Landscape-layout page

Have you already reduced the type size to near the point of
unreadability?

The biggest problem may be that Frame works in 1000ths of a point and
Word only in half-points (for most measurements).

Do you have the option of creating it with a larger page size and
reducing it in the printer or in the pdf?

Frame tables are so much more sophisticated and easy to use than Word
tables!

this is the responsible thing to do, instead of further kluging the original.

CANNOT fit a newly created table full of this same content into even an 11 x
8.5 in Word, much less the smaller size that I must ultimately achieve. No
luck manipulating cell padding, and working in Word 2007 is making things
more difficult. It may be difficult for any potential helpers to visualize
without seeing the thing, so I will gratefully offer to send an attachment to
any angel of mercy.
