Objects are placed on a separate layer from cells. They are not placed into
cells. That's the way it is. If you could encode it as a text string of
less than 32K characters, you could possibly put it into a cell, but then it
would be a text string and not an embedded object.

You can possibly move it where you want it an size it to appear as you want.

hi all,
i want to embed objects from other applications by drag and drop in 1
cell in excel sheet, specially outlook express objects like mail,
drafts , contacts etc as embedded objects. these embedded objects
should be openable in the source application (if excel supports it).
Also the object should be represented as an icon.
This is possible in MS word but when try to drag and drop in excel
sheet , the outlook object doesnot go into 1 cell , it goes in to a
range of cells.

Thanx for help in advance.
