I am creating calendars using a table and to be posted on my website. I normally use "Print Screen" and "Paint" to convert my tables to images. However, sometimes I cannot get all of the table on the screen to use "Print Screen". So I need to find another way to convert large tables to images without breaking up the table, at least one calendar week at a time (i.e., the first week is one table, the second week is another table, etc.).
These are some things I have tried:
1. I entered HTML code to float and connect two images without gap in between; I received this info from the creators of the website theme I am using. The problem with the code is the calendar and info is centered on the page and I was informed you can not use "float" as center. Do not want to use as "float: left" because it looks awkward.
2. Without HTML float code, a broad black line appears between the tables/weeks; I understand it is called "padding". I could work with that if the line only appeared between the separate weeks (i.e., the first week is one table, the second week is another table, etc.). However, it does not work if the data in a particular week is very long and overflows into the next page; that week becomes divided with that broad black line running through and looks awkward and disconnected.
3. PowerPoint does not like tables.
4. I don't have a PDF converter at this time and am not sure that will even work. Otherwise, the tables look too small to "Print Screen"; re-sizing makes blurry.
5. I discovered "Paste Special" which seemed to work by using the size 11x17; this way I could get a very long table/week on that size page. It seemed to be going well until I had a long table that encompassed two pages (using size letter/landscape). I
moved the table to size 11x17 to get it all on one page.
This is my problem:
Using "Paste Special", I highlight the table, copy it, go to another document or page, use "Paste Special" to paste as "Picture (Enhanced Metafile)". Although the table converts to an image, it is not picking up the entire table at the bottom.
I am flabbergasted! I have looked through MS Word, search engines and tried everything to discover why it is not picking up the entire table. Even though I transported the table from the size letter/landscape to 11x17, it appears that where the image stopped picking up the info from the table image is where the info stopped on the first page of the two-page table that was previously on the letter/landscape size.
Could it be still recognizing the boundary of the letter/landscape size and not picking up the info after that? And if so, how do I make it appear? What is more interesting, is when you click on the table that is now an image, it even shows the extra space where that data should be showing but it is not.
I am also open to other ways to convert whole tables to images if you have any.
Once I conquer this, it will be smooth sailing and I will be able to make as large of a calendar week that I want because the info/events will grow. I have updated info for my July 2014 calendar, but because of this dilemma, I am unable to post it.
Your prompt attention would be appreciated! I have my upcoming August 2014 calendar to do and hope I will be able to post.
HELP! Thanking you in advance!
