Inserting Excell 2003 worksheet

[Cynthia carter]

Using Pub 2003 with Windows XP Home
In my lastest guild newsletter I wanted to have one page
be the membership roster. I created that file with Excel
2003, but fumbled around the in help files and program
menus in Publisher trying to insert it as a properly
formatted one page table. I finally ended up saving each
page of the Publisher document and the Excel page as
separate PDF files then combined them all in Adobe
Acrobat 6 Standard. That worked fine but I wondered if
there is a simpler method.

Just copy the Excel range and paste it in Publisher - couldn't be simpler.

Was the obvious too simple?

Cynthia, you could also go to Insert > Object > Create from File > Browse to
your Excel page and insert.

I tried that and also tried the "insert-object-create
from file, etc." route and each time the table came up in
Publisher with totally messed up cell layouts, some too
big, some too small, etc. Looked nothing like the
original.
I'll play around with it and the Excel progam some more.
I can always resort to the save as PDF's method.
