Landscape tables
When i open a new document , change orientation to landscape and insert a
table, the document seems to be set to portrait. The paper shows as landscape but the inserted table chops off on the right hand side as if the page was portrait any ideas?? |

Are you inserting the table using Table | Insert Table (or the toolbar
button) or are you inserting or pasting it from another file? When you insert a table, it is normally created at full margin width, but if you move a table from a portrait document to a landscape one (or change the page orientation after inserting the table), the table does not expand unless you explicitly choose to do so. One way to do this is to set the width to 100% on the Table tab of Table Properties. But if you are inserting a brand-new table on a landscape page and it is not created at margin width, then the problem is elsewhere. For a start, go to Format | Columns and click on the picture for One (even if one column is already selected). Also, check the margins in Page Setup; this may be a manifestation of a bug in HP printer drivers. -- Suzanne S.
