While this may be true for text pasted from Excel, as a general rule Word
will expand *text* to fit the margin width on a landscape page. Tables,
however, will not expand unless you set the table width to 100%. If text
does not expand, then either the paragraphs have indents or the lines have
returns at the end (as when text is pasted from the Web; see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/CleanWebText.htm).

Word sees a page of text as "one-column." It is still
seeing a column that is sized for a Portrait style page.
Go to the Landscape page, Format, Column, and put a larger
increment (like 10"), then paste the table in.
-----Original Message-----
When I change a page within a document to landscaped
(using section breaks to
separate it from the rest of the document) and then past
a table in from
Excel, the table is cut off at about the same point that
it would be if the
page was portrait. But its not portrait? The text on
the page seems to have
the same problem, its acting as if its on a portrait page
when it isnt. If I
copy the table to a new document in Landscape it works
fine.

Can anyone help?!
