Hi Kathy,
A couple things...You could change the page layout from portrait to
landscape, allowing the table to take advantage of the 11 inch width instead
of the 8-1/2 width. Also, and I don't know a simple way to do this, although
likely there is one - after creating the table, if you go through each of
the cells on the first column and increase the heighth, the remaining cells
in the row will automatically increase heighth, too. I think that I usually
have the equivalent of a double space for each cell to allow enough room for
people to write. I'm sorry I don't remember the specifics. It's been quite a
while since I've created a sign in sheet because I just use the same saved
document over and over, tweeking it as needed. Also, it's on my work
computer, so I can't even pull it up from home to check.
I saw from another message that you're considering Excel. It's a matter of
personal preference, I think, but I find Excel to be better designed for
these things. I still often use the Word version just because I've had it
for years, and it's adequate. If I had to create something from scratch
today, I'd probably use Excel.
Good luck,
Shari

I am wanting to create this so that I can print it out, the people that
sign
this will be using a pen and signing there name so it will not be on the
computer. That is why I wanting to make sure my coluns and rows were big
enough.
I am creating this for the church and people will fill the information in
by
hand onto the sheet.

Hi Kathy,
You know, I didn't think about this until after I sent the message. I make
the sheets for people to sign in as they arrive. I don't enter the info.
But, if I did, I would still do the table the same, I think. After
choosing
the number of columns and rows, I would select fix column width and then
in
the auto fit spin box, select auto. Then if the text doesn't fit in the
column width, it will just make a second, or more if needed, line of text.
Hope this makes sense.

You do not have to do anything with the size of your cells to make sure
the
name and information fits.

Hi Kathy,
I'm not sure this is what you're looking for, but when I need a sign in
sheet for a meeting or event, I just type the name of the event and date
at
the top of the page; insert a table with the appropriate number of
columns
and rows; title each column, and that's it.
