What is the maximun number of columns that you can use in a table. When I
use more than 35 the columns to the left become truncated.

I meant to say the columns to the right become truncated and the heading are
not readable. thanks

According to "Operating parameter limitations and specifications in Word"
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211489), the maximum number of columns
in a table is 63. But the practical limitation is based on page width
(letter portrait vs. legal landscape, for example), margins, and cell
margins. You can increase the number of columns that will fit by removing
borders and setting cell margins to 0".

What version of Word? Before XP it was about 31; With XP it increased to
63.

It's 63 in Word 97 and 2000 as well. It was 31 for Word 95.
