Our company pastes data as a Picture (Enhanced Metafile) from Excel to word
using font Arial 10. When pasted into Word, the information looks fine on
screen, but when printed or print previewed, the spacing between characters
is off. Particullarly a problem is the letter combination ve is squished
together. Other spacing is a little off too. We have tried switching
printers, reinstalling print drivers, changing from souce formating to
destination formating, changing option from paste as apears on screen to
paste as prints and vice-versa, copy as picture, etc. Nothing seems to work.
It used to paste fine, but for no explicable reason, the format problems
began at different times on each of our admin staffs computers. We are using
Office 2007 and Windows XP. Please help!!!

 

you might try making a
system restore point for
today,

then use the oldest restore
point available on the pc
and see if sending it back
in time restores the feature.

if not then bring the pc
back to today.

------------

perhaps, there is also
the option of adding a
pdf print driver.

though office has the
capability of "saving as"
pdf,

you may also want to
install a pdf printer driver
like primo pdf.

that way if printing pdf
pans out for you, which
I think it will,,

then the pc users will
have no problem with
printing their doc's when
they see a pdf printer
and when they select
print.

even though office has a
pdf maker,

its initiated via "save as"
menu option and can be
easily overlooked by the
user.

You need to to do the following:

1) Copy the text in/from excel
2) Switch to Word
3) Select "paste special" and select Microsoft Office Excel
Worksheet Object

This way you get an exact copy of excel and also you have the
ability to edit it and do the re-calculations as you would in
excel.
