Hi,

I have come across a very annoying problem, trying to do the simplest thing imagineable. I have been trying to copy a table from Excel to Word, and the phrases "top of form" and "bottom of form" are getting included before and after the text in some cells. It makes no difference whether formatting marks are being displayed or not. I can manually delete these phrases, but that causes visible lines to appear, and makes formatting the cells uniformly impossible. Any ideas?

Thank you.

What Word version?
Describe how you copied the Excel table into Word.

Hi philip,

Have you checked the Excel cells to ensure "top of form" and "bottom of form" aren't in them - it's quite possible for an Excel cell
to contain text that isn't displayed (it should appear in the formula bar when the cell concerned is selected).
