Linking an Word Object in Publisher

[Gilley]

Hello,

I have created several links between Publisher (2002) and Word (2000)
without any trouble. However, today I can't figure out how to get around a
problem.

My Word document is only one page with a 2 column table. Page size is 8.5 x
11. Margins are set at T=.17, B=.17, L=.25, R=.25. The table doesn't even
take but half the page.

I go to Publisher, click Insert and select Object. Select From File, Locate
my document and select the 'Link' checkbox. The object inserted in Publisher
is my document. However, the object size is 12.9 x 12.9. I am having to use
the crop tool to work with the object. This just doesn't seem right.

I have another Word doc with the same setup that is doing the same exact
thing.

Does anyone have a clue as to what I have or haven't done?

Thanks,
Gilley
