Now convert this selected area to a Table, as follows: select OUTSIDE the area that you have just pasted do not start or end your selection inside what was the Excel data).Ĥ. Select a range starting just before the beginning of the range just pasted, ending just after the end of the range (i.e. The pasted range will be much too big for the page, however this is the trick to make it fit (all the rest is done in Word):ģ. This is the same as paste Special/HTML Format. This allows me to copy Excel information into a Word table ending up in native Word format so it looks as good as the text in the rest of the document (but no links I am afraid):Ģ.
#Word for mac hilight on an image trial#
I came across this by dint of trial and error the other day. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THIS STUPID DOCUMENT?!?!!!!!? I'm losing my mind. When I print the same thing straight from Excel, it looks fine. It views in Word with black "censor" bars through the title of the spreadsheet, and prints from Word looking fuzzy. I have gotten to the point where I can copy them as pictures and they work wonderfully, except for one of them. Nothing is different about the three documents. I made them all the same number of rows and columns, same size of rows and columns, font, etc. There are three different spreadsheets that need to be copied onto three separate pages within a Word doc. Like I said, I can do it six different ways in regular MS Word for Windows, but when I do it on Word 2004 for Mac, everything gets messed up. The spreadsheet created in Word is a funky size, and when you try to make it the correct size, it stretches the words.

Well you can try use a menu Insert | Object, choose Ms excel Worksheet,and then you copy your excel data into that sheet, it's more easy like that Thanks in advance for your gracious advice!! I am very frustrated and after two days of this, I'm ready to pull out my hair. I don't have the information she wants done, so I improvise with my own to test it out, and it always seems to work, but when I go into her office with her Mac and the information to be used, it NEVER WORKS!!!!! I have MS on my computer, so when I try these things out, they work.

Please help me! I've tried regular copy/paste, but when I try and make it fit on one page, I only have so much room to adjust the size. I'm doing this for my boss, and every time we size it to fit, it ends up looking like (in her words exactly) "a cake that has fallen in on itself.short and fat" (stretching of the words and figures, even when using the corner instead of the sides). I can get it to fit to one page by copying as a picture or paste special but, as far as I can tell, there is no way to size it so that the quality is intact. I have looked on other forums at tons of other people's threads and tried everything. I am trying to paste a spreadsheet from Excel into a Word document, but it needs to fit on ONE page. It seems possible that these problems began to accumulate after installing Catalina 10.15.4, but that happened last year and they have been getting worse recently.I am having trouble with the copy/paste function between Excel and Word. I have tried to change the paragraph format in many different ways, for instance in Preferences and in the Normal template, but it persists in using one Style, left indented. Sometimes when I move the cursor to the top of a page, the header view appears.Ħ. Could this be caused by using, as I do, an externalĥ. I can't stop it choosing an entire word so I have to use the back space or forward space keys to place the cursor where I want it: in the middle of a word for instance. Sometimes when I use the Search function it says 'No matches' even though I can see the word on screen. When I click on, say, File or History, it flashes on and off immediately.

If I keep repeating the action it will eventually work.Ģ. Highlighted text loses the highlight as soon as the text is selected. Is my combination of problems known to others? The following is a list of just some of them:ġ.
