Word 2002: How to print a multi-screen chart?

B

Bud Vitoff

This is a re-post because the first time I showed "Word 2000" in the subject
and thought it might turn people away.

I'm using Word 2002 under WinXP Home SP2.

I received an email containing a chart that required both horizontal and
vertical scrolling. I don't know how it was created, but it's definitely not
an Excel spreadsheet. I've managed to print its contents using Print Screen
and copying it into Wordpad for printing, but there's gotta be a better way!

I saved it as a .eml file and copied it into Word, but I've had no luck
getting full printed output. Any help?

Click to expand...

Word is definitely the wrong tool for this, because it can't display or
print any object that's larger than one page. Maybe another program, such as
Publisher, that can split it over several sheets...?

I found my solution, and it was embarrassingly easy, so I had to pass it
along just to wrap up this thread.
I printed it while I was in Outlook Express, using the following print
preferences:

Basics: Landscape
Effects: Print document on Letter, 8.5 x 11 in., and Scale to Fit.

It was perfect!
