tables

[Guest]

Okay, I finally figured out how to go into excel, make text diagonal and
paste special into my word table. The problem is when I email the table to
others, the diagonal text shows up not in the actual cells, but at the bottom
of the page in la la land. Any one knows how to fix this, I'd greatly
appreciate it.

AFAIK, Word cannot handle diagonal text except as part of a graphic. What
are you pasting special as?

Hi Tony,
I have created an employee evaluation form and on some columns I want the
header diagonally. I went to excel and did it, then copied and pasted
special into word using the box where you can select "from excel spreadsheet
object. It looks beautiful, but when I email it to others the three headings
are floating at the bottom of the sheet of the first page.

What you have pasted is a complete Excel Workbook, which probably isn't what
you want. I would try pasting, perhaps, as a Bitmap.

However you choose to create and paste, you are going to have a graphic of
some sort. If your graphic is in a table cell and "in line with text" it
shouldn't move far - right click on it and select Format, then on the Layout
tab, select "In line with Text".
