Embeded Word Documents in Excel only showing one page

[rhintintin]

Good morning,

The subject pretty much says it all. I have added an Object, MS Word Document into an excel spreadsheet. I have then pasted text which runs over a single page, however only the first page is displayed within the spreadsheet unless you enter the document to edit it.

I'm using Office 2003.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

That's the way it works and, as far as I know, there isn't anything much you can do about the general case. In this case, from the sound of it, you could set the page length to be a little bigger to work round it.

Enjoy,
Tony

What is the purpose of having the document embedded?

Would you get the same effect by pasting the text into your sheet?

thanks for getting back to me guys.

The reason I need to use embedded is because its quite a large chunk of text and I need to keep the formatting, bold, italics, paragraphs etc. Same goes if I just add a text box. Pasting into cells has the same effect as pasting into a notepad file.

tbh I'm not using the right tools for the job here and I know that but that decision was taken out of my hands to do this in excel so I'm having to work with what I've got
