I'm puzzled. . . . every once in awhile the Excel file I
have built in a Word document will become unavailable for
changes. It switches to some type of a 'picture format'.

Any suggestions on how to stop this from happening will be
GREATLY appreciated!

I don't have an answer but my suggestion is to post to general questions
because this is an advanced question.

Hi Djh,

every once in awhile the Excel file I
have built in a Word document will become unavailable for
changes. It switches to some type of a 'picture format'.

This could be the result of external software, such as the
NAV Office Plug-in. If Word is unable to recognize the
OLE-Server for an OLE object (the application that created
it), it will tend to convert the OLE-Object to a graphic.

It could also be a problem with damage in the document's
internal structures.

That group is so overloaded, he'd be lucky if anyone ever read it... It's
much better to search for a newsgroup that's *topic-specific* and to avoid
posting in "general questions" if at all possible.
