Hi,

I have created a very large table in word and now I need to copy it
into my word document. The problem is that when I insert the table
into word (copy, paste) the table is so large. The fonts are the same.
I don't understand why it is so huge in word. I have also tried
copying the table as a picture but the same thing. When I insert the
files as an object, the situation gets even worse.

The excel table span 5 pages landscape, letter. What is the best way
to show this table in my word document, without using a ton of pages.

Thank you,
Samm

Maybe you can do it by using the table as the datasource for a catalog (or
in Word XP and later it is called "directory") type mailmerge.

Is the Zoom perhaps not 100% in Excel?

The excel table span 5 pages landscape, letter.

Are you pasting into Word pages in landscape orientation, or portrait?

Have you checked the margins in the Word document?

Thanks Cindy,

The zoom was 100%, I had to finish it yesterday so what I did was just PDF'd
the document and the tables from excel (because they would print properly)
then added them together.
That didn't really solve the problem, but it was a solution.

Thanks for all the help
