Excel spreadsheet rows not showing in Word

[Markus]

Hi all,

I have embedded Excel spreadsheets in a word document. When I change
something or delete a row the changes show up in Word - however when I
insert rows then the last rows are not shown (e.g. I insert 2 rows then the
last two are not shown).

On Windows one can increase the size of the inserted object until all rows
show - but I can't find a way to do this on the Mac.

What am I missing?

Thanks

Markus

Hi Markus-

Unfortunately, OLE is implemented differently in Mac OS than it is on
Windows. If you increase the size required by your XL file, AFAIK, it has to
be re-embedded for the additional content area to display in the doc.
Likewise, if you reduce the amount of space it isn't as noticeable, but the
embedded object will still occupy the same amount of sq. inches in the doc.
That space is wasted unless you re-embed the object at it's smaller size.

Which is really strange, because I am sure you used to be able to resize
the embedded part in word 5.1 or 98.

Hi Barry-

I thought so too, but having dealt with every version on Mac & PC since
Gates outgrew his britches, I get a little fuzzy on the details. It
seems to me the 'split' came about with WinOffice/XL 2000 Mac 2001 (I
don't think its an OS X thing). A real bummer, IMO.

Maybe you've got the muscle to have someone fix it ?
