Bugs in MS Word 2003

When linking word to excel spreadsheet, (I open a new document in Word,
INSERT – OBJECT – CREATE FROM FILE (Link To File), link to an excel file
created with say a sheet 5 columns by 70 rows, 12pt
Bug #1) The link is not created properly, it only partially populates in
word (initially only displaying 10 lines (I run WinXP ProSP2, MSOffice 2003)
I need to play with the linking functions to correctly link / display the
file.

Bug #2) More Importantly -If the spreadsheet size exceeds the Word page
size, the spreadsheet will not flow beyond one page in word. It just gets cut
off.

These bugs are affecting my business, & I'd like to know if Microsoft is
aware of them, & would consider fixing them, since Office 2003 is still a
current & supported product

Hi Nupress,

Unfortunately Word's limitation has pretty much always been that an inserted graphic or object cannot exceed one printed page in
size.

Within that one page you can affect the amount of data shown be determining of you are placing the object/graphic 'inline with text'
(within the defined page margins) or 'in front of text' wrapping that can, although it's probably not the effect you want, be wider
than the page margins, as one method. Do ou have a named range applied to the area you're inserting/linking?
