Karen agree with everything you're written. The 2nd gen editor allowed a lot more freedom with tables and am disappointed that the time is near when that capability will be killed. I have the same issue with large tables and want a table in the email. I do add a link to a pdf of the table but want to have the data in the actual email. Here is my work around..... Since the original is in excel I simply grab that with all the formating of cell colours, fonts and borders etc the way I want them and "paste as a picture" into powerpoint. Once in powerpoint I can grab a corner handle and enlarge the image - often way beyond the slide size. I then click on the image and save as a picture and have decent resolution image for insertion into the CC email. Once in the CC email I can enlarge to fit the width and that has worked for us. I've tried using word but the margins and the way word handles images always confuses me ... close to text, through text options etc. Powerpoint allows me to enlarge the image way beyond the size of the slide. My pricing table has 5 columns and about 60 to 70 rows depending on the week - the printable pdf is 3 pages long!
