Link to Excel (Formatting Problem)
Under Help, I entered "Link to Excel", then selected "Insert information by
creating a linked object or embedded object". And then under "Create a linked object or embedded object with existing information", I selected "In a Microsoft Excel File". When I follow the directions for "Create a linked object", and click Paste, the object is placed on the line where I want it. But then when I click either of the Paste options to link to Excel, the object gets moved to a new line, and is "linked" to the paragraph mark on the previous line. I want the object to be on the same line as where I put it. For example: Name: X The linked object should be where the X is. How do I do this? Thanks, Bernie |

Hi Bernie,
Select the Excel object then choose Format|Object|Layout and click 'Square'. This will allow you to reposition the object to wherever you want it to sit. If, having done that, you click on the 'Advanced' button, you'll get more positioning options for finer control. Cheers "bw" wrote in message ...

macropod:
If I select the excel object, then Format|Object is dimmed. If I select the Paragraph mark on the line above the Excel object, then Format|Object changes to Format|Insert Text Box. How do I "Select" the Excel object so that I can see the Format|Object? Thanks, Bernie "macropod" wrote in message ...
