Hi ?B?TmV2YQ==?=,
How do I add a footnote to a cell in a Word table that is an embedded excel file? (Or in a Word table that is linked to an excel file if that is easier.) Every time I try to add a footnote to my embedded tables it erases the infomation in the cell. This works fine with other tables Word's footnote functionality won't be available at all for an embedded table. And embedded table is actually an EXCEL-thingy, that "looks through a window" so that you can see it in a Word document. When you update a linked table, all information not in the original Excel table will be thrown out. So a footnote won't work for that, either. Your only option would be to unlink or lock an linked table, prior to printing, and insert the footnote. Unlink: select, then Shift+Ctrl+F9 Lock: select, then Ctrl+F11 Unlock: select, then Shift+Ctrl+F11 Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 8 2004) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
