What about experimenting with the cell height to force the table to page break

Not an authority btw

Thanks Chris.  Yes, I'm currently doing two copy/pastes from one 'source
Excel spreadsheet' into two 'Publisher tables'.  It's just that I would
like a sort of automatic resizing.
I'll keep playing...
cheers

being that I uninstalled Publisher.

      I know that you can do what you are attempting by going to PRINT in
Excel and then creating a PDF file.  But, you can also copy and paste the
"next page" rows and columns to another spreadsheet, then copy and paste
each spreadsheet (now individual pages) into Word, Publisher, and PageMaker.

Any Microsoft Publisher (2010) experts on the list?

I'm looking for a way to make rows of a table fill one page and then flow
to the next. I know how to link text boxes so that excess text flows into
another box but not how to do the same for a table.

(The situation is that for our Church monthly events calendar we have a
template, currently with identical tables filling page 2 and page 3.  I
manually count rows and copy/paste from an Excel source into these tables.
I have different numbers of rows of data to enter each month so I end up
deleting the blank rows in the second table on page 3. It would be neat to
paste rows into the top of the table on page 2 and for the excess rows to
automatically flow over to page 3.)

It's far from being an essential but it's part of my continuous learning
scheme in retirement - otherwise known as "do something useful before
going
to the pub".
