Excel table in Word
I have an excel table in a word document. Usually I can double click the
table and it "opens" like an excel spreadsheet. In this particular document, I can't edit it because it won't "open". Any suggestions? |

Excel table in Word
It probably isn't linked to the Excel document, and is thus acting like a
simple Word table. You may have to recopy and repaste it to the Word doc, this time selecting a linked format. "Betsy" wrote in message ... I have an excel table in a word document.

Excel table in Word
Hi, Betsy
Mr. RichRd O. Neville has mentioned it correctly. You have to copy the cells and paste special as "Microsoft Excel Worksheet object". This will maintain a link a to the source document. I do understand that you must have performed this operation. But there are two possibilty: 1. The Excel application is not installed. In such situation the application opens with a Microsoft supplementary application which is s Microsoft supplectary Chart available under Insert Object 2. You application does not support OLE .2.0 functionally. In that case Excel has to open as a seperate instance like OLE 1.0 I have used this function several times to generate students performance, leave details data to be displayed on weekly basis. Note: You have to reinstall Excel again. Challa Prabhu "Betsy" wrote: I have an excel table in a word document. Usually I can double click the table and it "opens" like an excel spreadsheet.
