Default Splitting tables by column - not by row?

Hello all - I hope someone can help.

I need to import tables with many columns into Word. Could be from various
applications - Excel, Crystal Reports, etc.

Is there any way that the table can be automatically split vertically when
it runs into the text boundary at the right-hand side of the page, and
forcing the remainder of the table onto the next page. And then, if
necessary, repeating this process on this next page, etc, until all the
table has been accommodated. A large table might be spread automatically
over quite a few pages in this way.

Many thanks.

Roger Howes.

Roger,
To the best of my knowledge splitting tables vertically can't be done
automatically.
You will have to cut and paste I'm afraid.

Thanks Luc, I'm rapidly coming to that conclusion. It just means a lot of
work!

Regards.

Roger.
