Moving a sheet from Numbers into a Pages doc

I would like to move a sheet with a lot of text, that spans more than an A4 page in both dimensions. How do I do this without losing information.

A Pages table will automatically reduce its column width as needed to fit n-columns within its left and right document margins. Although you can select, copy, and paste a Numbers table into Pages, the resulting table may become incomprehensible.


You may need to export the Numbers table in one or more PDFs which can then be dropped in Pages as objects, scaled, and rotated 90 degrees to fit on one (or more) page(s). That is the provision for large column Numbers spreadsheets since Pages does not permit mixed orientation pages in the same document.


The formulas and cell features in Numbers are a superset of what is supported in Pages tables and you should be aware of that fact.
