TABLE MARGINS

[Telita Trower]

Hi,

I would be eternally grateful if someone could assist with
the problem we are now experiencing when using Tables in
Word XP.

1. When working with Tables in large documents (I work in
a Law firm) and those Tables may need to made landscape
and the rest of the document portrait we keep on getting
messages regarding the margin sizes. If we ask Word to
fix the problem it moves the left margin to from 1 inch to
3.59 inches!! I have tried everything to sort this out
and find that the only thing that works is making the
Table portrait and then landscape again. However the next
time you add text to the landscaped Table the left hand
margin moves in again.

2. When creating documents that contain only Tables in
landscape format it does the same as above. The message
is "One or more margins are set outside the printable area
of the page. Choose the Fix button to increase the
appropriate margins". Our documents are set at 1 inch all
round!

Please, I am desperate as this is affecting all documents
we create with Tables in landscape format.

Many thanks for all your help.

Is just the table landscape, or the page the table is
on? If the page, try making the lanscape page a new
section, then on the next page that reverts to portrait,
make it a new section, and so on. In other words, make
each landscape page its own section.

Thank you for your response.

However the margins move in whether the Table is in a
middle of a document or on its own in a completely new
document.

Any other ideas?

Many thanks in advance.
