Table row alignment across page pairs
Hi, I'm writing a document of about 200 pages where the space for
content on each page, excluding margins and headers, is roughly 5 inches wide by 7.25 inches in height. I would like to have several tables of 4 columns (2 columns per page) and multiple rows spread over two facing pages where each row on the two page tables has the same height. Is there a way to make this row height sizing automatic in Word so that the rows of the left hand table match the rows of the table on right? The tables will contain (computer program) code snippets which I am comparing, so the row heights may be quite varied. I am working in Microsoft Office Word 2003 on Win XP Pro. The rest of the document is fairly vanilla at this point. Thanks for any assistance, Csaba Gabor from Vienna |

No really good way to do this except to set exact row heights of the same
height for the corresponding rows. -- Suzanne S.

Table row alignment across page pairs
Hey, I appreciate your getting back to me so quickly. Good news - I
just had a fabulous suggestion on this from my brother: I could put what I want into Excel, complete with formatting, into 4 column tables. Then I should highlight a two column portion (corresponding to the left half table, say) and do a Copy (ctrl+c). Then in Word I should do Alt E (for Edit), Paste Special, and select Paste Link (so that changes that I make in the original Excel spreadsheet, which may possibly affect row height) and also paste it (As Microsoft Excel Worksheet Object. Then I put in a page break and repeat for the other two columns in the spreadsheet. Very nifty. I still have to fool around with formatting and all, but I am very pleased with this method. Saves me from a questionable macro based approach. The link that gets pasted (which I can see with Shift+F9) looks like: { LINK Excel.Sheet.8 "C:\\Enyem\\myCode.xls" "Sheet1!R1C1:R10C2" \a \p } and to update it (when I make changes to the Excel file) I would press F9.
