Insertion of *Objects* Into Spreadsheets (Version Differences)
In Excel 2000, I could copy and paste a portion of a 'Paint' screen directly
into a spreadsheet as an *object*. It was nice because, even though large in size, I could double click the (sized) picture and it would open up in 'Paint'. I upgraded to 2003. Now when I try the same technique, it copies the object as a *picture*. If I try to 'Paste Special' and insert a "bitmap", it still comes across as a picture. I do NOT want this. [The formula that gets automatically inserted in the 2000 version (in the spreadsheet when I copy and paste) is, "=EMBED("Paint.Picture","")". I did not have to type this however.] I know this is close in concept but it is really important to keep it the old way (double click to see the full size). Is there a way to make it as the old version? |
I did some research and it looks like it might be a filter issue. It says I
can import a BMP directly without one. I'm not really sure. To put my problem in simpler terms: In Excel 2000, I could copy and paste a portion of a bitmap from Paint as an OBJECT. In Excel 2003, when I do the same, it comes across as a PICTURE (even if done by Paste As...). Could someone help? :) "Rif" wrote: In Excel 2000, I could copy and paste a portion of a 'Paint' screen directly into a spreadsheet as an *object*.
