Default excel spreadsheet to word

When you insert that, you get a graphic that has to fit on a single page,
same as when you choose any of the graphic options. Instead, choose one of
the text options, e.g. formatted text (RTF) or unformatted text (Unicode or
otherwise). Although it just looks like a Word table or plain text, it's
just as linked as the "worksheet object" option - it just doesn't look like
a worksheet object.

Which format are you choosing when you paste the link?

yes, thanks for finding it.

i tried the solution - namely alt+f9 and substituted the range name -
also
tried to change the range. in both cases, the solution didn't work.
the
linked word document added the extra rows but truncated the bottom of
the
report - even though i changed the range in the link - using the alt +
f9.
any other solutions?

thanks

i posted this question last week, received a reply, printed it and
now
i
can't find the hard copy or the original post.

PROBLEM: i have an excel workbook with many tabs (Balance sheet /
Income
Statement / Cash Flow, etc) and want to link these sheets to an
audit
report
which is a word (2003) document. i have named ranges. whe i try
to
copy
the range and then paste special - paste link - i get the message
"word
cannot obtain the data for the excel.sheet.8link". i think that i
need
a
named range because the link is in the R1C1 format and if i add rows
to
the
excel spreadsheet the link does not update with the additional rows.

sorry for posting this twice - thanks in advance for your help.
by the way, when i receive the email notifying me of a response and
then
click on the hyperlink, my internet opens up to a blank screen. any
suggestions?
