I have created a 1-cell table for the purpose of positioning a PowerPoint slide within my Word document. Table Properties: Left alignment; 1" indent; no text wrapping Row height is not specified Preferred column width = 6" Preferred cell width = 6" When I use Paste Special (using "Picture (Enhanced Metafile)") to paste the PowerPoint slide into the 1-cell table within Word, the cell height remains the same (instead of automatically adjusting to the height of the pasted picture). In fact, it doesn't appear that the pasted picture is really being inserted into the cell (which is what I want), but rather "outside" of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bob

- 1. Cell Padding or Margins Within a Table
Greetings! I have a table with many cells containing text. The text is not flush against the left border of the cells; there is reasonable space with the text left-aligned. When I insert cells (a row at a time) into the table and add text, that text is flush against the left border. All the text settings appear the same. When I click within the original cells and check the tab ruler, I see the indent sliders are just to the right of the blue "partitions"; when I click within the cells I added, the sliders appear right on the "partitions" and won't allow me to slide them to the left. I can't move them in the Paragraph dialog box either. Any suggestions? Thanks, - 2. Page Number Not Extending Out to Far Right
One line of my table of contents isn't formatting correctly. The problem looks like this: Introduction.......................1 Plant Description...............1 Methods 2 Results and Discussion.........5 The page number on the "Methods" line does not extend out. Can someone tell me why this is and how to fix this? Thank you for your time. - 3. Autofit text in table cell
Hi, I'm setting up a template for a form. I have a full-page table that I've locked down to one page (i.e. no matter how much text I add, it will never adjust the table cells to carry over to more than one page). This works fine, except if I need to add more text than usual. I then need to manually adjust the font size to fit the text into that table cell. It's not a huge issue, but I'd like to have the text automatically increase/decrease size to always fill the dimensions of the cell. I'm pretty sure I've seen something like this before, but I can't remember if it was in Word or some other program. Any suggestions on where I can enable such an option, if possible? Thanks in advance! Jayson - 4. Opening Macro-Enabled Docs in Mac Version
I've created a table with macro-enabled check boxes, which works fine on PC units; however, the Mac users (2004/2008) either cannot get the check boxes to work or they canot even open the .docm file. Is there a way to modify the file so that they will also be able to click in a check box to display a checkmark? I wanted to avoid their having to click in a checkbox that required their double-clicking on it and selecting Checked from the options.

I can't reproduce that behavior, but this may help for you: Go to Tools > Options > Edit and set the "Insert/paste pictures as" dropdown to "In line with text". When you paste, make absolutely sure the insertion point is inside the table, not next to it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://www.**--****.com/ Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Jay, Thanks for the suggestion. However, I verified that the setting is set to "In line with text". Also, when I paste, the insertion point is definitely inside the table, not next to it. It's possible that Windows and/or Word has somehow gotten "confused" so I am going to reboot my machine and see if that fixes the problem. Thanks again for your help. Bob

1.Pasting Excel cells as "Picture (Enhanced Metafile)"
Hello I need to paste cells from Excel into Word as "Picture (Enhanced Metafile)" (I need to do this over 100 times). Every time I do this, the resulting picture's top left corner ends up violating the top left margin of the Word document (even though my cursor was located at the top left corner of the page when I did the pasting). I then have to both move and resize this picture. Is there any way to either a) automatically resize the picture so it has the largest possible size without violating any of the page margins (and not being distorted) OR b) if (a) above is not possible, at least move the picture so that its top left corner is at the top left corner (as defined by the margins set for the page) of the page? Thank you for your help!
2.Editing a Table Pasted from Excel into Word as a Picture (Enhanced Metafile)
Hi: I am copying a section of an Excel Spreadsheet, and then pasting into word using Paste Special -> Picture (Enhanced Metafile) When I right click on the object in word, one of the menu choices is "Edit Picture" This will allow me to change text in the picture, which seems to be included through the use of text boxes. I make a minor change that is required, but then I cannot seem to revert the image or picture back to its previous form, which seems to be as a normal picture file that has been inserted. The only way I can figure out how to do this is by using the undo command, but I loose my text chance. If the picture stays in the new, editable format, whenever I click into it, all of the text is becomes highlighted, which really slows down my ability to continue work on the rest of the document. The new format seems to be seen by word as a Drawing Canvas. Does anyone know how I can make a text change, and then get Word to see the image as an inserted picture file again as opposed to this drawing canvas? Thanks, Brooks
3.Paste Special: Metafile vs Enhanced Metafile
What's the difference between Picture (Windows Metafile) and Picture (Enhanced Metafile) in the Paste Special options? Is there a good rule as to when to use one over the other? At a quick look for pasting Excel sheets, they seem the same, but I'd guess that's just because Excel sheets don't have any fancy graphics, gradients, etc. But that's just my guess. Perhaps Windows Metafile is fine for basic shapes and Enhanced Metafile is better for advanced vector images? Thanks, Colin
4.Windows metafile versus enhanced metafile
I have two questions regarding the PasteSpecial method:
1.) I would like to paste the contents of the clipboard as a "Picture (Windows
Metafile)" to the active cell of a table in Word using VB. The code below is
straight out of the VB help examples. It works if the selection is not inside a
table but if the selection is inside a table it does not work. If I record the
actions of paste special to a cell the code generated uses PasteAndFormat, but
this does not allow me to specify "Picture (Windows Metafile)". What is the
solution?
Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseStart
Selection.Range.PasteSpecial datatype:=wdPasteMetafilePicture
2.) To reduce Word document file size I have always pasted graphics (charts,
etc.) as "Picture (Windows Metafile)" rather than "Picture (Enhanced Metafile)"
believing that the former is smaller in size than the latter. Is this true?
Thanks
Alex
