Re: Linked Excel 2002 spreadsheet doesn't update in Word 2002

Hi David -

Sorry about the problem but this is the newsgroup for Mac Word:-) Although
some of us work both sides of the street I doubt we have 2002 readily
available for any poking around.

You'll probably have a much quicker & more definitive response if you post
to one of the PC Word groups you'll find here:

http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/FlyoutOverview.mspx

They'll need full version information and [most likely] some rationale for
why there's a linked object pasted into a Text Box in the first place.
That
may very well be the cause of the problem since the Text Box, itself, is
actually an embedded object to begin with.
