I am using the Paste Special>Word Document to embed my word 2000 document onto my Excel 2000 spreadsheet. The word document will be used for descriptions of exceptions to the specifications in my bids. Our sales assistant will copy the text from my embedded word document and past it into her Sales Proposal document.
The problem I have encountered is this: When I double click on the embedded word document so I can edit the document and add text the document formatting changes. The size of the document shrinks to a document that is smaller than the underlying spreadsheet and a bold line appears near the center of the document. The area below the document turns to a charcoal grey. The document will not allow me to resize it using the format object box or by dragging the handles. How can I talk Excel into cooperating with Word so I can use the word document like a word document complete with formatting etc?
