Default making page wider than 22"? for a table

Good question.
I have never used excel actually, would be the reason.
Though it should not be all that diffiuclt to do a table in publisher or
word, without too much diffiuculty, I thought
I had used word for the longest time before I got into publisher, and ppt.
Not sure I want to endevour to learn excel.

Why not do it in Excel?

Mary, The table actually is about 30 inches long. I don't recall if it
was you or someone else suggested of making the the table in word, then
pasting it in publisher.

There is no problem in making the page 30 inches long in publisher, but
word limits to 22" ?

Therefore the problem is making a 30 inch table in word if only 22 inches
is available?

What I need to do, or would like to do is adjust each row differntly in
the table. One row I may need at .75, another .25, and another 1.
If I highlight, one row of cells, I want to go into properties and adjust
it, as with the other rows, but can not do it in word, if it is a 22 inch
limits.
I can approx. it in publisher but looking at the ruler, but there must be
a way to adjust the row/cell properties, without changing all 3 rows?
thanks Bruce

Well Bruce, in Publisher you never said you wanted a 22" table. This is
a different situation. Publisher tables do not overflow to the next
page. If you setup your page as a poster or banner you will get more
than 22" and you can make the table to fit, the print out will be tiled.

must be a way to do it, in the pub. newsgroup, they say to do it in
word then past it from word into publisher.

Word has a hard-coded limit on the page size of 22" in both
directions, so you aren't going to be able to do what you ask.

Probably JoAnn will be along in a few minutes to tell you how to fix
the table in Publisher...

to do that, apparently I have to make it in word, then paste it in
publisher. Can't adjust the cell sizes differently in publisher

It is approx. 30" long, by 2"

I go to page setup, and it will only allow me to do a max. of 22"
either in landscape or portrait mode?
