Subject:Inserting Excel Spreadsheet Into Word Document From:"Jennifer C. Bennett" <fritillary -at- gmail -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Sun, 14 Aug 2005 14:32:22 -0500
Hello,
I want to take a wide, landscape-oriented Excel spreadsheet and insert it
into a portrait-oriented Word document, so that the Excel spreadsheet
appears sideways in the Word document with the title running up the left
side of the paper. When I say that the Excel spreadsheet is "wide", I do
not mean that it is too wide to fit on the paper, sideways; I feel with some
minor tweaking/scaling, it will fit fine in the Word Document. For example,
the Excel spreadsheet goes as far to the right as the J column, with some of
the columns wider than the default.
I've played with various solutions I've found in the Help, including
inserting the spreadsheet as an object (This results in the spreadsheet in
appearing horizontally in a vertically (portrait) oriented document,
resulting in the right side of the spreadsheet getting cut off, and a lot of
whitespace in the lower portion of the page), and converting the spreadsheet
to a Picture, resulting in the spreadsheet appearing as a tiny, inch long
graphic in a large, page-sized placeholder box.
If anyone could point me in the right direction on how to get this
spreadsheet to appear sideways in the document (perhaps there is better
terminology avaiable than "sideways"?) I would really appreciate it.
