MS Word 2008 For Mac

[rpmiller0]

I have a quick question.

One shortcoming of Word 2008 I've found is that after embedding an
Excel Sheet, I cannot resize the Word object or change the visible
columns and/or rows in Excel.

Is there some secret command that I am missing? The only way I've
been able to get around this is by creating external Excel files and
linking them to the Word document. In most cases, this results in
dozens of external sheets for one Word file. ACK!

Please help if you know of a fix or workaround. I just can't seem to
get Word 2008 or Pages 3 to do all of the nit picky things I need, and
I want to ditch XP for as many tasks as I can.

No, you can't. It's a bug! Hopefully they will fix it, but the fix may not
be "soon" because it's complex.

Hope this helps
