Hi pallilu

When you insert the excel file as an object into your word document, right click the excel spreadsheet, choose Format Object... > Size and adjust the size of the spreadsheet to fit to your Word doc.  Doing this will shrink the spreasheet's fonts et. al. to accomodate the size parameters of the Word doc.

 

by: palliluPosted on 2004-01-07 at 08:21:46ID: 10062997

When I insert an Object from the excel sheet, I am not getting whole excel sheet, right part is truncated. Can you please advice what to do? I did try changing the size from format object properties.
But I have right part chuncked off. It did not get full excel sheet when I insert an object referencing to an excel sheet.

 

by: Mob-bomPosted on 2004-01-07 at 08:25:00ID: 10063028

Yes, when you originally insert the excel spreadsheet it will be too big to completely show.  Try setting the size width to less than 8 inches to start with to see what happens.

 

by: palliluPosted on 2004-01-07 at 08:35:58ID: 10063125

Even then When I double click on excel sheet to edit data, It is still right part is truncated. I do not what to do
Please ehlp me mob-bom

No need to double-click the spreadsheet.  Right click the spreadheet > Format Object > Size

What you need to do it once the spreadsheet is in the word document is to treat it as if it is a graphic i.e., a picture.  The size tab of the Format Object should do what you need as it works well for me when I tested it.

 

by: palliluPosted on 2004-01-07 at 08:55:49ID: 10063287

I changed the size. It did not improve any better.It is same as it is, But When I double click to enter data, I do see some more right part of the sheet, but not full.

Please help me mob-bom

 

by: Mob-bomPosted on 2004-01-07 at 10:43:00ID: 10064285

Sorry, pallilu.  I can only tell you what works when I do it.  Maybe someone else will have a better suggestion.

Hi Pallilu,

I too have had this problem and managed to solve it in the following manner. It is a bit laborious but it does work!
1. Open a new word doc
2. Go to page setup and set the page to landscape and custom size page width to say 50cms (or whatever you need for your spreadsheet to appear fully on the page
3. Either copy and paste or insert the spreadsheet to the doc.
4. All columns will display and you can reduce the size by dragging the corners
5. If this is not enough to fit the normal size document you can resize the individual fonts etc until you get the whole sheet into your doc, then cut and paste into whatever normal doc you want...anyway you get the idea!

If any of this is not clear post again and I will try to help some more.

Good luck

Gayle
