Hi =?Utf-8?B?Y29uZGxpZmZl?=,
I keep losing the table formatting that I have done on a table in a Word
document (Word 2000) that was created by 'Pasting' an Excel Worksheet as RTF
due to the size of the worksheet.
It pastes in fine, but once I close the document and re-open, all formatting
of the table is lost!!!
Sounds like the LINK field that manages the link to the original table is
updating, and doesn't contain a \* Mergeformat switch. Or you haven't installed
any SP (= Service Pack = updates) to fix a bug that was in the original release
of Word 2000, so this switch won't work.
Check in Help/About whether you have any SPs installed. If not, you need to
download and install at least SP1.
If SPs are installed, press Alt+F9 and check the LINK field. If you don't see
\* Mergeformat at the end of the field, add it just in front of the closing
field brace, then Alt+F9 again to hide the field code. The field should look
something like this:
{ LINK "C:\Path\filename.xls" Sheet1!R1C1 \* MergeFormat }
