Thread: Embedding Word file into Excel

Hi all! I need help again~
This time, i've embedded a microsoft word file into excel(Display as icon).

But every time I click it, the page setup changes to a custom size.

I have set the file to appear as A4 Default and set the file to A4 and saved it but every time I clicked the Microsoft Word file in excel, it goes back into Custom size.

Anyone knows why and can help me solve the problem?

Thank alot :D

Not sure of your problem, but when i open you excel file its page size is A4, and when i open the embeded word doc its page size is A4 also.

3 hours trying and still failing here.
Have you possibly found a solution yet?
I have multiple machines both on Vista and 7. The problem isn't file dependent. I can create a blank excel document and embed a blank word document and it will have that custom size issue ocurring. Some machines do it and some act normally. I have yet to figure out why it does that. Please post a solution if you have found one.

Thank you.
