Problem with embedded worksheet

B

Bababoey

This problem just started to occur, and no one in the office has
changed/updated their software version.

We paste excel worksheets as "picture/enhanced metatfile" in our word
documents. Recently, when our office administator pastes the worksheet, the
lines in the worksheet are altered. For example, they become very thin, and
double underlines become single.

This only happens on her computer. She has not changed or updated her
software.

What version of Word and Office?
What printer is selected in File=>Print

Is this with any document and worksheet , including new ones?

The problem that Bababoey is describing has been a problem since SP3. If you
embed an Excel table in Word 2003, and use the underline format, the
underlines may not print. It doesn't matter if you use accounting underline
or the normal underline, some lines do not print. I have tried removing the
underlines and putting them back. The results vary from time to time. Once
you succeed in having an underline print then another one does not print. I
found that if you double click the table and open it on a computer without
SP3, exit the table and save the file, the underlines will print. The
underlines that do not print, will not show in a PDF file or any other print
capture file. They show on the screen but are missing on the ouput. I sent
sample files to Microsoft months ago. The tech was clueless but confirmed
that there was a problem. In addition, the file size in the one where the
underlines didn't print was more than twice the size of the non-SP3 file.
PLEASE HELP
