Subject:Importing OLE objects into PageMaker From:Elizabeth Klisiewicz <elizabeth -at- REMOTE -dot- CONTROL -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 18 Aug 1998 15:55:57 -0400
I checked Adobe's web site and didn't see an answer to this problem, so
I hope people don't mind if I post it here.
I am using the "Insert Object" command in PageMaker to create tables.
The source program is MS Word. While it works OK, there is a glaring
problem that still seems to be around after all these years. Whenever I
finish the table and it drops into PageMaker, it's always much smaller
than the original table. Although I can stretch the table and guess its
approximate original size, I'd rather do something more exact. Does
anyone have a solution for getting an object in at 100 percent without
futzing around with the object?
I've also noticed that there are problems getting updated copies of the
object. I sometimes create a table outside of PageMaker and then insert
it later on. When I want to make changes to the object and after saving
changes, the object in PageMaker is not necessarily updated.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
