Maintaining the format of linked tables.
Maintaining the format of linked tables.
I have a linked table in Word to an Excel spreadsheet, I format the table in Word 'Table Properties' with the following commands, Table tab 'Alignment - Center' Row tab 'Repeat as header row at the top of each page' I then close and save the document, but when I reopen the Word document, the format of the table reverts back to the original inserted format. Is there any way around this? I am running Office 2000. Thanks in advance for any help. Kind regards James |

Hi James,
A bit late... don't know why I didn't pick up on this earlier. 1. Some kinds of formatting are never retained when a table is linked in from an outside source 2. The \* Mergeformat switch must be in the LINK field code in order for any formatting to be retained. Alt+F9 toggles field codes on/off. 3. This switch was broken (didn't work) in the original release of Word 2000, but was fixed in a later service pack (1 or 2, can't remember which for sure). Maintaining the format of linked tables.
