The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

SYMPTOMS

When you paste link a Word 6.0 document object into another application such as Write or Microsoft Excel 5.0, the linked object displays with a fixed 6-inch width. If the text that is linked is a paragraph, the text wraps correctly within the 6 inches. However, if the text that is linked is in a large table, text in the right column is truncated.

The container application does not allow you to adjust the size of the object or crop the object to display the truncated text nor does adjusting the margins affect the display of the truncated text.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

Use Paste instead of Paste Link.
