My 213k Ecxel table bloats my 105k Word Doc to 2.5Mb - Why? I've tried copy &
paste, copy & paste special. Both still bloat the Doc. Help! |

I did not link it to the original. It doesn't need to auto-update from Excel.
It's a report; attendance listing. "Jezebel" wrote: Which option did you choose when using Paste Special? "thebob" wrote in message ... My 213k Ecxel table bloats my 105k Word Doc to 2.5Mb - Why? I've tried copy & paste, copy & paste special. Both still bloat the Doc. Help! |

I'm sorry Jezebel; the answer to your question is:
Using Paste Special I selected Paste: & Microsoft Excel Worksheet Object If I use HTML it truncates the Excel table. I don't understand that if Office is all supposed to be OLE, why does a 200k Excel table turn into a 2Mb beast in Word? "Jezebel" wrote: OK, so what option DID you use? "thebob" wrote in message ...
