Hi all
I have a jukebox title card program in Microsoft Word,( it lets you
make your own little cards telling you the records you put on a old
jukebox )
it has a fixed table background and it lets you add text to each card
in the spaces in the tables.
I want to make the cards longer, if i grab the corner of the table to
expand them, it only expands the text part not the background table.
If i grab the background table and expand it the text stays where it is
and does not expand with it .
Is there a way to merge them both together then expand them both
together ?
Or is there a way to change the format it is saved in and i could open
it up in a photoshop software and expand it in there thanks

See http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels...mail_merge.htm which will
explain how to extract the data from the table. Create a new table and use
it as the basis for a mailing label merge -

Hi this is the link
http://home.wanadoo.nl/mwe.roos/docu...psredoldie.doc
The cards are about 220mm when you print them , I wanted the strip of
cards 300mm.
I can put the songs on them but can not stretch the complete card . Not
bothered about the text streching as well as long as it stays on the
correct line. thanks

What you have here is a graphic overlaid across a table. It is simple enough
to stretch the graphic. Select the table and cut it to the clipboard
(CTRL+X). Select the graphic, right click format object size. Uncheck
the 'lock aspect ratio' button then increase the width to (say) 104%. Paste
back the table from the clipboard (CTRL+V) then adjust the width of the
table to match the graphic.

Hi thanks for that !
I got the graphic enlarged, and then pasted the text back over the top,
when I try to resize the text table it will not enlarge all of it to
cover the enlarged graphic, I pull it one way and the bottom is not
covered and then pull it another way ! Is there a way to enlarge the
text table so it grows in proportion to the enlarged graphic ?
If i pull the top only the top text table grows and its all out of
proportion to the graphic ! not sure if that makes sense ! thanks
again

You should only need to set the column width - Right click the table table
properties column set the width of each cell to the required amount.

Hi thanks again.. nearly there

I righted clicked the text table and the properties came up, is there a
way as in the graphic to set the height of the total text table in
percentage , I made the graphic 120 % but the text properties , seems
to let you only set each row or column not the whole table many thanks
again

You can set the options for the whole table at once if you select the whole
table. I had assumed that you were only changing the width so you only had
two columns to deal with? With the graphic at 120% you would need a column
width of about 9.1cm. If you have changed the height of the graphic by 120%
then you would need a row height of 'exactly' 1.03cm. 'Exactly' here being
the row height option rather than the actual height of the row which would
need to be about 1.03cm.
