How to Size Portion of Excel Shown in Word Doc?

[gbhawkins]

With an Excel worksheet created in word (MAC), how do you define what
items (rows and columns) actually show up in the word document, how do
you change what actually shows, etc.?

I strongly recommend against pasting Excel into Word (or PPT) in
general. The reason is that, no matter what you are displaying, the
entire workbook is pasted in. This may lead to revealing undesired
information inside the delivered Word document.

Unless you need to maintain active links (another mess....), far better
to select the portion of the spreadsheet you want to show,and
PasteSpecial -- As Picture. YOu can't edit the contents of this pasted
item, but you will be much safer.
Another alternative is to PasteSpecial -- Formatted text, which will
give you a Word Table.

Hi Carl -

If you have any other ideas please have at it but the only thing that
will satisfy the OP is if you can rewrite OS X & Office to handle OLE
identically to the Windows implementation... Nice work if you can do it!

Guess it's off to recommending RagTime in the first place...
