Excel Spreadsheets Embedded in Word, then saved as a PDF
 
Excel spreadsheets embedded in Word are functional, however, once the file is
converted to a PDF file, the Excel spreadsheets are no longer accessible. Is
there a solution to this problem? Can you help?

Much appreciated. Thank you.

PDF does not allow embedding of objects...

You need to copy the information you want from Excel and paste it as a Link
into Word (so that it gets updated when Excel updates) and shows up in Word...
-------------------------------------
Pl. click ''''Yes'''' if this was helpful...

Thank you for your response. I tried pasting the spreadsheet as a link, and
once again, the link functions in Word, but not once it is saved to a PDF.

Sheeloo, any other suggestions you may have would be appreciated.

Thank you.

How are you doing it?

Try this
Copy the data from Excel
Go to word
Choose Edit | Paste Special
Choose Paste Link
Make sure that 'Display as Icon' check box is clear...

If you don't want to link it then you can simply paste it
