Excel: Graphic in Edition Does Not Appear in Word

ID: Q89127

The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh includes TEXT format information in an edition published from a worksheet. When version 5.0 of Microsoft Word for the Macintosh subscribes to an edition, it uses RTF (Rich Text Format) information first, TEXT information second, and PICT information last. Microsoft Word 5.0 does not display a PICT graphic within an edition published from an Excel worksheet.

In Microsoft Excel, you can change the contents of an edition, however, TEXT is always published.

Microsoft Word can link to Microsoft Excel. Using this method, a picture from Microsoft Excel can be pasted into Microsoft Word that will update when the information is changed in Microsoft Excel.

  1. Select the information that you want to link in Microsoft Excel.


  2. From the Edit menu, choose Copy.


  3. Switch to Microsoft Word.


  4. From the Edit menu, choose Paste Special.


  5. Select Picture in the Paste list box.


  6. Choose Paste Link.



STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
