Insert Excel as Object
Insert Excel as Object
(OP)
We are using SW4, SP0.0. We do a lot of tabulation of data and I want to insert an Excel spreadsheet as an object into a drawing, then enter the information in the columns. I don't want to link the spreadsheet. The problem I'm having is the size of the spreadsheet keeps changing. I get it located and sized just right, then close the spreadsheet. When I re-open the spreadsheet, edit data in the columns then close it, the speadsheet size has changed. When I check the properties the scaling varies quite a bit, sometimes it is 1:1 other times it is 1:2.13849, etc.
Any answers on how to fix the size?

Sometimes I use tables in drawings: I create them in Excel and do a copy past into the drawing. I don't know if this mothod produces different results than yours (that is, insert object), but it seems to be stable.
I think that SW should have an insert table tool, for general tables creation (like in Word).

We've gone to linking our Excel spreadsheets to Word tables when needed.
The Word tables inserted into SW seems much more stable and easier to control.
