While what Cooz told you will work, you could have accomplished the same
thing by clearing the check box for "Field codes" on the Print tab of Tools
| Options.

I have a word doc that was sent to me that has an embedded table. When I
go
to print I get the character string {embed MSworks4sheet} instead of the
table.

Similarly, recently I tried a print merge from excel and instead of
printing
the addresses on the labels it just printed the embed string.

The doc itself looks correct, but when I go to print it reverts to command
strings.
