Change is hard, help with some problems

I am trying to convert some spreadsheets from excel into pages. There are some quirks that are making me wish I had a computer as opposed to

an iPad.

1. When printing a spreadsheet there is a 1" marging ALL THE WAY AROUND the spreadsheet, I need more real estate on the printed page.

2. We need a way to organize all the docs in the cloud, having 12 sheets in a folder is too much- what are some other ways to organize.

3. Can't find a way to make a slash in a cell (to divide it in half from corner to corner)

thanks for any and all solutions. I have been working on this for weeks and am getting quite tired.

thanks

Laura

What are you using to get an "excel" spreadsheet into Pages?

No quite sure what you mean. Are you printing a Pages file, or a spreadsheet? If you are pinting the spreadsheet (from Numbers), you have an option to resize the table. If you are printing from a table inserted into Pages, you will need to resize the table object, or reset the margins.

2. We need a way to organize all the docs in the cloud, having 12 sheets in a folder is too much- what are some other ways to organize.

The only organizational scheme for iCloud is folders (and by default, alphabetical order of file and folder names).

In a spead sheet, no, you can't. Even in MS Word, you would need to use a drawing object to create this layout, rather thatn a table, I beleive).
