text in tables in word
When I print a document which is on a landscape table in Word XP, the text
gets cut off. I have checked the print preview and it looks fine but when the hard copy has printed there are letters missing at the end of each collumn. This is an old document that gets overtyped every month (it has always printed off fine in the past), however I have recently upgraded to XP and think this might be something to do with it. Can anybody help please? |

This can happen for a variety of reasons. Has the printer changed? How close
to the edge of the paper are the cut off letters occurring? When you say "upgraded to XP," am I correct that you mean you upgraded to Windows XP, or do you mean that you upgraded to Office XP? If you upgraded to Windows XP, this means that you're using a new printer driver, which can affect how close to the edge you can print. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along.

text in tables in word
Hi ?B?UmFjaGVsIEJhcmxvdw==?=,
When I print a document which is on a landscape table in Word XP, the text gets cut off. I have checked the print preview and it looks fine but when the hard copy has printed there are letters missing at the end of each collumn. This is an old document that gets overtyped every month (it has always printed off fine in the past), however I have recently upgraded to XP and think this might be something to do with it. My guess is that your guess is on target :-) The internal structures of the table have probably been damaged... Here are a couple of things you can try (on a copy of the original!) 1. Save as a web page, close, re-open, save again as a document. 2. Select the table. Table/Convert/Table to text. Then Table/Convert/Text to table. You'll lose the formatting, but this should recover the structure. 3. (Assumes this is a simple table with no paragraphs). Copy the table to Excel. Copy the Excel cells back into Word.

I saw this happen between versions in a document that had a very full, busy
table at full margin width. IIRC, I had to reduce the table width just a hair (0.01" perhaps) to make it work right. Increasing the cell margins might work, too. -- Suzanne S.
