16924 2001-08-13 07:10:00 In trying to cut parts of Excel spreadsheets and paste into Word (as pictures), part of the spreadsheet is repeatedly 'lost'. The only way which brings in the entire selection is to paste as a bitmap format, which is of poor print quality. Anybody know how to get around this problem?
Thanks.

You don't mention which version of Office you are using, or if the selections you are trying to paste are either one selection or a group of selections.

I have tried without problem to cut from excel a selection of cells A14 through to H19 with random data in these cells and paste into word as a picture, is your selection larger or more complex?

Obviously this doesn't help at this stage. However if you could provide a little more details then perhaps we can help.

Regards

16927 2001-08-16 06:31:00 Maybe this is a silly question but have you tried using the PrintScreen function button? This copies and pastes the whole screen image (eg Excel spreadsheet) into Word no problem. Then just use the picture toolbar to crop etc. Printout quality of such an image is fine too. Guest (0)
