URGENT: Embedded (excel) Object in Word is corrupted
Hi, I am working on a large document. Within the file there is an excel
worksheet that I had embedded and sent to users. One of the users, opened the word document and then edited the excell spreadsheet. Then he closed and saved and then sent the word document back to me. When I open the word document, his excel worksheet is corrupted and nothing happens when I doubleclick to open. I've searched this forum and can't find anything. Can someone shed some light? We are both users of Word 2002 and Excel 2002. Thanks So much |

URGENT: Embedded (excel) Object in Word is corrupted
If it's corrupt, that's an end of it. Don't waste time trying to fix the
corruption (very unlikely to succeed anyway). Delete it from the document, go back to a previous version, and get your user to re-work. Large documents, particularly with embedded objects, are not entirely stable, particularly when sent by email. It's often wise to zip the document for emailing. "rp2chil" wrote in message ...

URGENT: Embedded (excel) Object in Word is corrupted
In addition to Jezabel's suggestion, make sure (as best you can) that the
recipient *doesn't* edit the attachment itself. Attachments should always be saved to disk as files, edit *that* file & then attach it for emailing back/forwarding. If the attacment is what actually got edited that may be what caused the corruption. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "rp2chil" wrote in message ... Hi, I am working on a large document.
