W2K+SP4, MS Office 2003+all updates.
I've just switched to Office 2003 from 2000 because of problems with
copying an Excel spreadsheet into Word, and feel like I've jumped from
the frying pan into the fire.
I've created a fairly simple Excel spreadsheet with some hidden rows and
columns, and formatted it just how I like it. Its intended to be part of
an article that I'm writing in Word, but when I copy and paste it into
Word it changes the formatting: titles in merged cells turn out to be
non-merged, and the column widths get changed. I can re-merge the cells
containing the titles, but can't change the column widths. I can get the
"column width adjuster" cursor to appear but it does nothing at all.
In Office 2000 I could get the column widths to change a little, but
then it lost rows and messed up other, non-related, columns. It also
didn't hide some of the hidden cells.
I'm totally amazed the MS should allow this to happen in their Flagship
application, especially when they wrote both components that are
supposed to work together, and therefore think it must be me. So what am
I doing wrong?
