Changes you make to an embedded Microsoft Excel object are not saved when
you quit Microsoft Excel. This problem occurs when you edit a Microsoft
Excel object that has been embedded by clicking Object on the Insert menu
or by using the "Insert Microsoft Excel Worksheet" button on the toolbar.
WORKAROUND
To ensure that the changes you make to an edited Microsoft Excel object are
saved, do one of the following:
- Type the information you want in the embedded object, and then press the
ENTER key or the TAB key. The insertion point moves to the next cell.
Press CTRL+S to save the value in the embedded object, and then click
outside of the worksheet to return to Word. This will update the object.
- After editing the Microsoft Excel object, press CTRL+S, and then click
outside of the worksheet to return to Word. This will update and save
the object.
