One of my Directors has a problem with Excel data embedded in Word documents.
If I open a document, the Excel sheet is displayed ok but when he opens the
same document he gets the following instead of the spreadsheet fields:

{EMBEDED Excel.Sheet.12}

I’m sure that there is a simple explanation for this but I’ve not come
across this problem before, can anyone help?

Check in Tools, Options, View, Field Codes is not checked.
To toggle all field codes in the document in one go, Alt+F9.
To refresh all fields in the document, Ctrl+A (to select whole document),
then F9.
Track changes can stop updating of field codes.
The codes could be locked, then use Ctrl+Shft+F11 to unlock.
This is for 2003 and prior, instruction may be different for 2007.
Hope this helps

Hi Dean
That was it, thanks. I knew it would be simple (but not that simple). The
Director is impressed!
