    how do I create a HUGE table?

    I have to create a 12 row 14 column table which will be printed out and put onto a (around) 20 by 20 poster board...so it has to be HUGEEEEEE. How do I do this, all the boxes inside the table I want to have control of meaning size and stuff. I will have to write in all boxes.

    P.S: Yes. I know you guys prolly think im a idiot but this is my first time and my due date is appraoching fast, if anyone could help that would be great.

    you set EACH row height, and EACH column width.

    you can put a border round any or all the cells

    you can colour any or all the cells

    you can set text size and colour for each cell

    Your print out size is limited by your printer or plotter....

    another thought, are all cells going to be empty, and you write in them when the poster is on the wall?

    You could just create the table with the correct aspect, and then ask Kinkos to scale it up to whatever size you need. Both of my printers have output scaling options, and I'm sure Kinkos does too.

    Or print to PDF, specifying the size paper (D size, whatever) you want, and have that printed.

    I guess I'm not seeing the difficulty here.
