Copying tables from Excel
Hi, I have come across a very annoying problem, trying to do the simplest thing imagineable. I have been trying to copy a table from Excel to Word, and the phrases "top of form" and "bottom of form" are getting included before and after the text in some cells. It makes no difference whether formatting marks are being displayed or not. I can manually delete these phrases, but that causes visible lines to appear, and makes formatting the cells uniformly impossible. Any ideas? Thank you. -- philip81

Describe how you copied the Excel table into Word.

Copying tables from Excel
Hi philip,
Have you checked the Excel cells to ensure "top of form" and "bottom of form" aren't in them - it's quite possible for an Excel cell to contain text that isn't displayed (it should appear in the formula bar when the cell concerned is selected). -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "philip81" wrote in message news  Hi, I have come across a very annoying problem, trying to do the simplest thing imagineable.
