2nd Post - Inserting an Excel Spreadsheet
I didn't get a response from original post; I'm hoping someone will help me.
In the Purchasing Manual we are creating, we need to insert forms that were made in Excel. One in particular is a travel expense form. It's not very large, but it appears in my documents as very large (goes beyond the margins in my document) and not all of the cells appear. The last three or four rows are not included. In Excel, I made sure the set print area was correct and even adjusted the scaling to 60%. I inserted the spreadsheet as an object and linked it (it must be linked). What am I doing wrong? Why isn't the entire form being inserted? Thank you so much for your help. By the way, I'm using Word and Excel 2003. I hope I explained this correctly. -- MB |

2nd Post - Inserting an Excel Spreadsheet
Select the range you want to import in your Excel worksheet and copy. In
Word, go to Edit, Paste Special, and choose the option "Excel Worksheet Object". This will copy the whole range in as a single object that never wraps across pages. It has the added advantage that you can right click it and select a command to open it in Excel, if in the future you should need to edit it. You could also choose to link it back to the original Excel file, by clicking that option in the Paste Special dialog, so that any updates you make in the original Excel file will be reflected in the Word file -- Carol A.
