Hi Amy

If you do want to be able to manipulate the columns off the page, do View
Normal and you can see and manipulate all the columns.

Alternatively, click in the table, and do Table Properties. On the Table
tab, click Options. Tick the box that says "Automatically resize to fit
contents" and click OK. Now, back on the Table tab, set the preferred width
to 100%.

You can now adjust the column widths to better suit your needs.

Hope this helps.

I'm using Office 2003. I want to copy part of my Excel spreadsheet and
paste
it into Word so that it appears as a table. However it goes off the edge
of
the page in Word. I have been trying to get it to all fit on the page by
altering column widths, but I can't select the final columns to alter them
because they are off the page. Is there any better way to fix this than
just
changing to landscape? I don't want to copy the table as a picture because
I
want to be able to format it and possibly adjust some of the data in Word.
Thanks.
