embedding excel files into visio

[rccheng]

Hi,

I am trying to import data from a rather large excel file and placing
it into visio 2000. Being that the width of the excel file is not too
large (Columns A -> J ) I want to be able to see the data that I import
into Visio (while still being able to edit it once i double click on my
selection).

The problem that I am running into is that once I insert the Excel
file, part of the selection gets cutoff. I know the entire selection
is there because when I go to edit it, I can view the entire file.
However, I would like to view the entire file (columns A -> J ) even
when I am not editing it.

Is there some maximum size to an embedded file that I can place into
visio? Or is there something that I'm missing or something that I can
do to override that.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You can resize the embedded object window to change how much of the Excel
sheet is displayed, but there is a maximum size that Visio will allow. At
ten columns, you may be exceeding that limit.
