Hi there,
Sorry if this seems a basic question, but I have an issue which is driving me nuts, and I would really appreciate any help anyone could offer. At work, I regularly copy a table from an Excel spreadsheet to a Word document; the spreadsheet is always the same format, as each is a copy of the same original file - likewise with the Word document. But, Word always pastes the table in with different column widths each time - even if I paste in different sections of one worksheet of the same Excel file. I can't understand why it chooses these arbitrary column widths! What I would like to do is set up Word/Office so that whenever I paste an Excel table into a document, it will paste it in with fixed column widths that I determine. I did try having the 'first line' of the table permanently in the document, but unfortunately the tables I am pasting have some formatting that doesn't copy across properly if I do it this way. It would also be great if it would paste with a specified borders setting (I use Grid), rather than copying any missing borders from the Excel original. I have attached a document showing what happens when I copy 2 sections of one table into the document (I've disguised it, as this is what I do at work, but it gives the general idea). Please, can anyone help? I do this thing every day at work, and every time, I have to resize the columns by hand! Thanks, GracieB |
