STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0c for Windows and Microsoft Word for Windows 95, version 7.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available. MORE INFORMATIONIn the following example, if the Sales field contains a number greater than 100, Word prints a portion of the Commission sheet in the Sales.Xls file. If the Sales field is not greater than 100, Word prints the sentence "Try to sell more!"
The Microsoft Excel object appears correctly when you view the main
document and show a record in which Sales is greater than 100. But when you
merge the document to a new document or merge to the printer, a box is
printed where the Microsoft Excel object should have appeared.
