I’m trying to design an A3 calendar which includes an enlarged panoramic photo and a table from Microsoft WORD (Office 2003)to deliver the actual calendar information. The table is 40cm wide and the Photoshop (CS3) canvas size being A3 is 42cm wide.
When I copy from WORD and paste into Photoshop only about 75% of the width of the table is seen in the new layer (I’m losing the righthand 25%).

Is there something simple I am missing or am I trying to do the impossible? Or should I really be trying to design the table within Photoshop (which on the surface looks to be much harder to do than in WORD).

Any help would be appreciated…

It’s never easy because of the formatting code in M$ products.

You might have more success putting the table in Excel.

Or use InDesign or a 3rd party calendar maker software.

No "or" about it. Photoshop is very poor choice for this type of job.

You’re effectively trying to drive nails with a wrench.

an easy way to do this is using pdf as an intermediate file format, since PS can open pdf files.

I dont know whether Office 2003 is supporting pdf export. I’m doing this from an even much older version of word (i.e. office 97) by opening the word file with openoffice which in turn supports the export to pdf format
