How do I spread a table across 2 pages in MS Word 2007?

Hi all
I'd be really grateful if someone could tell me if there is a way to spread a table (with 20+ columns) across 2 pages using MS Word 2007. I want each column to be at least 2cm wide and, even in landscape, A4 paper is not wide enough so I need to print it so that I can stick two pieces of paper together side by side.
Can this be done? :confused:

    Funnily enough I have just been looking at a Word table that is A3 but prints on two A4 pages. If you go to this thread, click on the link and then look for the one that says A3 printed on 2 A4 pages it might give you an idea how to do what you want to do.

    Let us know if it helps.
  • This is not a solution to your question, but could you try excel instead? Any table with that many columns would suggest a spreadsheet would be a better way to hold all the information. You should be able to set print areas quite easily with the page break view.

    Yes, you're right - the thing I was looking at is two separate Word tables.

    If you set up an A3 Word table is there a way to print the left half then print the right half?
