Inserting an excel file in word
I have two clients that called and said they used to be able to go to Insert,
File in Word 2003 and insert an entire Excel spreadsheet or Power Point presentation, but now gets a file conversion dialogue box that shows illegible data. I tried and got the same result. I did a search on Microsoft's KB and here. The only reference I found was that the excel32.cnv file was needed, so I downloaded the Office 2003 file conversions in the resource kit and installed that and it didn't help. Then I found the excel32.cnv file and I saved it to the text convertor folder, but that still didn't work. Any ideas? All 2003 products. Thanks!! |

Because of security considerations, Microsoft changed or eliminated many of
the old filters. They can still be used, provided you are aware that there's a slight security risk. The version you need is linked from the downloads page of my web site. This one will provide the functionality you require. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Carla wrote: I have two clients that called and said they used to be able to go to Insert, File in Word 2003 and insert an entire Excel spreadsheet or Power Point presentation, but now gets a file conversion dialogue box that shows illegible data.

I downloaded the converter from your site. When I try to insert an Excel
file into Word it appears as if it is going to do it and then I get the message, "Cannot start the converter excel32.cnv" Any sugesstions?

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\CONVERT\Excel32.zip I open it and saw a reg file and when I double-clciked it it ask if I wanted it to be placed in the registry and I said yes.
