After installing SP3 for Office 2003, our users can no longer paste named
ranges from Excel into a Word doc. The range is selected and named in Excel,
then copied. I switch to a Word doc and choose Paste Special, then "paste
link" as Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet Object. When I select OK, an error
appears --"Word cannot obtain the data for the Excel.Sheet.8 link."

If the range that I need copied in Excel is not named, then when cells are
added or deleted the entire contents that should be linked in Word will not
be correct.

For instance, if the range A1:B7 is named "fruit" and pasted into Word using
"Paste Special", when 2 additional columns are added, a named range will keep
the info in A1 through the info that was originally entered in B7 (which is
now B9) linked into Word.

If the range is not named but is only copied and pasted into Word using
"Paste Special", 2 additional columns are added, I will only get what is in
A1 through B7 (currently) linked into the Word document.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
