Embedded Linked Excel object
I am pulling my hair! I have multiple Excel workbooks and charts I need to
embed into Word 2002. I have done so. The problem is in positioning them where I want. The Help menu with Word is not very informative. I can not seem to select and drag the objects into position. Is there a guide online somewhere that I can read on positioning & sizing embedded Excel objects once they are in Word? Thanks |

Hi Reggie,
When you have the object selected in Word use Format=Object to get to the layout options. If an object or graphic in Word is set to layout as 'inline with text' wrapping then Word sees it as basically a large text character and you can drag it to fit within any line of text if you have the setting for 'Drag and Drop' text editing turned on in Tools=Options=Edit If you choose any other Layout/wrapping option the graphic is 'anchored' to a spot of text in your document but can be moved around within the boundary of a page (Word does not allow graphics or objects to be larger than your current size for printed page in File=Print). Things that can affect the ability to accurately place the graphic or object include - Version of Word you're using and if you've disabling any newer version features in Tools=Options=Save. - Turning on/off the Snap to Grid feature from the [Draw] button of the drawing toolbar. - Settings in Format Object for 'move with text' allow overlap' 'layout as table'. ========= "Reggie" wrote in message ...
