Table disappears at edge of landscape page in Print layout view on
I was entering data in an ordinary table in portrait page setup and decided I
needed to make the table wider so changed the page set up to landscape. As I added columns, towards the right the edge of the table edges disappear as well as the text in them. If I change to normal view or web layout view they are there and intact but print layout view and print preview cuts them off. I've tried select all and pasting into a new landscape document but the same thing happens can't see the right edge. I've checked the margin sizes they all seem to be normal, I've fiddled about with them making them bigger and smaller, not much changes. It's incredibly frustrating, please help if you can! |

On the Table tab of Table Properties, set the table width to 100%.

Table disappears at edge of landscape page in Print layout vie
Thanks Suzanne but it hasn't worked. It has centered the table within the
margins. The shaded blue area on the right margin is reaching a third of the way across the page. When I add columns it bunches them up within the same area. I pull out the edge of the table and the table moves over to the left and off the page and the edge of the table on the right still disappears. When I change the alignment of the table on the page to Right alignment, visually the table moves towards the left and disappears off the page (whereas to the right the edge of the page/paper is visible but the table border is not visible, mid column. I hope what I'm saying makes written sense, it certainly doesn't make logical sense to me! If you have any more advice, I'd really appreciate it, I've got to fill this table to be able to tender to win some work!. Thanks so much. "Suzanne S.

Your mention of a "shaded blue area on the right margin" suggests that the
document contains markup and you are in Final Showing Markup view, with space allowed for the balloons. If you disable balloons in the Track Changes Options, do you still see a problem? Also, make sure that on the Table tab of Table Properties you have None set for text wrapping. If the table is wrapped, then that could be the cause of the problems. And be aware that, whenever you drag a table by its handle (as you have very likely done during this exercise), it becomes wrapped. -- Suzanne S.

Table disappears at edge of landscape page in Print layout vie
Hi again, thanks for responding so quickly! There have definitely been no
tracked changes in the document, no balloons or mark up. I've wrapped and unwrapped the table a few times already. I didn't know about your last point but I've since checked and it is still unwrapped. I wish I could send you a screen print of how it looks or the document itself.. Thanks for trying Suzanne, I'll have to find another solution for my table. "Suzanne S.

You can send the document to me by email, and I'll take a look.

Table disappears at edge of landscape page in Print layout view on
Columns were not the culprit for me.
I solved my similar problem by opening in print preview mode, changing orientation from landscape to portrait, exiting print preview, then changing the orientation back to landscape through the normal Word interface. That worked for me. |

Answer: Table disappears at edge of landscape page in Print layout view on
It sounds like the issue you are experiencing is related to the page margins. When you change the page orientation from portrait to landscape, the margins may not adjust automatically, causing the table to disappear at the edge of the page.
Here are some steps you can take to fix the issue:
If the above steps do not work, you can also try adjusting the column widths of the table. Sometimes, if the columns are too wide, they may extend beyond the page margins and get cut off. To adjust the column widths:
Hopefully, one of these solutions will help you resolve the issue and make your table fully visible in Print Layout view.
