Bring
It On Over
Recently, I had
a reader write in and ask about resizing items that have been copied
from MS Excel and pasted into MS Word. It seems as if the usual copy/paste
routine isn't doing the job, because the pasted items are just too
big.
(Note
to Office 2007 users: I found that the regular paste works
just fine in Word. It could be resized and moved without needing anything
special).
Well, never fear,
because there is a way to paste your Excel data and be able to control
its size in Word. The trick is all in the way you paste!
Instead of a regular
paste, you'll want to do a Paste Special, which is
found under the Edit menu.
In the Paste Special
dialogue window, you'll want to select Microsoft Excel Worksheet
Object and then click OK.
Your Excel data
will go into your Word document with resizing handles, allowing you
to integrate the information in whatever size you prefer!
