* Overwide Census tables in a Booklet

[peterbel]

I was struggling to get a Census table to fit my Booklet. Going Landscape A4 and editing the table still left a column off the page. I then realised that mimicking the Census form landscape table format was my problem, it would easily fit if I made it Portrait, there were fewer Individuals than Census questions.
So I created a second Table in the Text from Source Census Fact for the individual and then refreshed the book.
It was an easy fit.

In case it helps others with similar problems.

Yes - different scenario, because it was way before Rich Text Tables, but the only way I could transcribe US Censuses was to transpose the rows into columns. One useful thing I did was to transcribe the original in Excel first, doing it the right way round, because it was easier to read and write. Then I used Excel to transpose rows into columns etc., before copying and pasting into FH.

I did it first manually in the Source editor just to prove the concept but using Excel is the way to do it, much quicker.
Copy and Paste FH into Excel, transpose, then Copy and Paste back to FH.

Adrian, brilliant!! It took me little while to accomplish this, but I got it done. I'm not even sure I'll use it, but it is a way to get that table into a narrative, for instance. Thanks so much, Allen.
