Has any one ever rotated an Excel BOM 90 degrees to fit more items? I coulden't find a way of doing it, so I tryied to creat a new format rotated and found that the text would not rotate with it. I tried to use modify sketch. My customer insists on an 11"x17" (B) format.

Thanks

1) Did you know that you can split the BOM & place the split portion beside the original? Also that you can reduce the font size which will reduce the BOM size?

2) Instead of rotating the 11x17 Landscape format, create a new one 11 wide x 17 high (portrait) with new title block.

1a) I could maybe spit it and have the second part on sheet two. And I did reduce the font & manualy compress each cell to put the fire out. But if I add one more item I have to ship a magnifing glass with the drawing.

2a) I did try this and found that I will need to redue all the text, Yuck.
