shrinking a page for printing
You know how you can shrink a page in Excel so that it will fit? Is there any
way to do that in Word? We don't want to make the table smaller because folks are adding information to it but we want it to print on one page. As usual, all assistance is taken seriously. Suzan |

shrinking a page for printing
Hi Suzan:
In Excel, click on File | Page Set Up Once there, Under Fit To, delete the figure in by Tall. That should make it all fit on one page, although it will make the print very, very small if you have a large worksheet.

There isn't a Fit to Page option in Word, as there is in Excel. However,
you can use the Keep With Next, Keep Lines Together or the Page Break before paragraph formatting options to control how text flow across page breaks. All of the aforementioned options are access by clicking FORMAT in the menu, clicking on PARAGRAPH in the drop-down menu and then clicking the LINE AND PAGE BREAKS tab in the paragraph formatting dialog box. It's a bit more work, but it does give you better control. -- Kevin Backmann "Suzan" wrote: You know how you can shrink a page in Excel so that it will fit? Is there any way to do that in Word?

I can't believe I've never seen it before, but it's true.
Thanks for the correction. -- Kevin Backmann "Graham Mayor" wrote: Kevin B wrote: There isn't a Fit to Page option in Word, as there is in Excel. Actually there is.

shrinking a page for printing
Thanks everyone - we'll try it out. However, the directions do say that it's
mostly good for a file that has a few lines on the last page. This is a table so .... "garfield-n-odie" wrote: See http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...886751033.aspx .

Well, there is, but it's not terribly useful. See

shrinking a page for printing
Suzan: There are a couple of ways you could accomplish this. One way is to
use the "Shrink to fit" toolbar button in Print Preview, which is rarely helpful. Another is to create it, for instance, on 11 x 17 layout and print at 50%. But there is nothing REALLY similar to Excel's fit to page. ************ Hope it helps! Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Suzan" wrote in message ... I know about Excel; my question was about Word.
