Red X appears instead of embedded spreaedsheet
I'm using Word 2003 (11.8125). In a Word document, I have several
spreadsheets that are embedded. Instead of the icon apppearing, I'm seeing the border of the icon, it is greyed, and there is a red X in the top left corner of the bordered area. I've tried the Alt+F9 suggestion, but this just shows the field codes inside of the greyed area. In Tools | Options | View tab, the check boxes for Field codes, Hidden text, and All are unchecked. In Tools | Options | Print tab, the check boxes for Field codes and Hidden text are unchecked. I am at a loss for ideas on how I can get the icons to appear properly. Any suggestions you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike M. |

The point of using Alt+F9 is specifically to show the field code, from which
you can detect whether the link is still correct. If the Excel sheet has moved... -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne, thanks for replying back so quickly. I understand the field codes
can help me determine if the link is still correct, but what I'm looking for is the actual Excel icon that should appear when a spreadsheet is embedded in a Word document. Allow me to gve you another example of the red X. If I copy and paste a figure into my document, the figure doesn't appear. Rather, I see the same thing as I mentioned below - the border of the figure, and it is greyed, and there is a red X in the top left corder of the greyed area. It seems graphics are not appearing in ANY of my Word docs - not just this doc. Any ideas?? Thanks, Mike M. "Suzanne S.

Sounds like an OLE problem. Try posting in word.drawing.graphics to see if
the folks there can be more helpful. -- Suzanne S.
