What do you mean? Is the document being cut off when you print it? Have you tried Landscape mode?

George,

A few of strategies:

1. Select the entire table
2. Enlarge the font
The table will expand vertically

To resize an entire table:
1. Click inside the table
2. Click and drag the little square handle in the lower right
This will expand the table, but not the size of the font.

To do both (table and size of fonts):
1. Select table
2. Cut
3. Edit | Paste Special
4. Choose Picture metafile
5. Now stretch (click and drag) corners as needed
The disadvantage of the last method is that you can no longer edit the text.

If you are not opposed to using Excel:
1. Copy and Paste into Excel
2. File |Page Setup | Select your desired percentage increase
3. On Sheet tab, select Show Gridlines
This will automatically size your 'table' to whatever page layout desired AND the data will still be editable.

It'll never fill the WHOLE page, unless your printer can print right out to the edge of the page.
