I want to print out the table I made in access but it is too wide to print.
there are so many columns and in each column there are many words. I
wouldn't mind having the text wrap around. I've tried to do this in Word by
pasting it, but cant figure out how to resize the table once it is there.
Help!
 
Don't try to print out the table. Use the table as the basis for a report.
If there are really wide columns, then place those on a separate line in the
report. You can have many lines print for each record in your table.
 
As posted to your duplicate post in a nother newsgroup, you don't print
tables. Tables are buckets that store your records. Once you build your
table, you should not use it to enter/display data. That is the job of
forms and report.

Build a report.

A much bigger issue though, How many fields do you have in your table? A
properly designed *relational* database would have many related tables with
each one being no more than ten or fifteen fields. It sounds to me like you
are trying to create a spreadsheet in Access. Access is not a spreadsheet
application.

Post your design and perhaps we can help you normalize it.
