Hi all, what is the best way when creating a word report to display a table that has alot of rows. I am wondering if it somehow possible to have a table in Word that has say 10 rows shown to the user but also has a vertical scrollbar that the user can move up and down to see more data.
If not possible, can anyone think of a solution?
Best Regards,
Grant

Hi Grant,
As far as I am aware it is not possible to have a scrolling table in MS Word as it is designed to be a printable format.
Your best option may be to use Excel or code it in HTML.

Thanks for the replies. Gaurav k, i was toying with the idea of using Excel but since i have many rows, it would not be the best way to create a report. My report does not have to be printed, only asved hard copy. But i do have many tables in addition to graphs etc to view and therefore being able to look at a report that is easy on the eye initially and if faults were found, the user could then look further into the tables. ie perhaps scroll through the many rows.

Hi Grant_cargill,
You can plot graph in excel as well. So you can have your tables and graphs side by side.
Isn't it easy to verify? Won't it solve your problem?
