In Excel 2007 I want to insert objects in one column but in a succession of
rows of a worksheet. These objects are of various sizes, so I have adjusted the row height to accommodate each object. When I do a sort, the objects do not stay with the other information in the corresponding row. Some become squished, others overlap other objects. The objects seem to be moveable on the worksheet. How do I keep an object to stay with the other appropriate information in the corresponding row when I do a sort? |

Click the office button Excel Options Advanced. Under the heading Cut,
copy, and paste, tick the box: Cut, copy, and sort inserted objects with their parent cells. Scroll down to heading Display options for this workbook and click the All 'dot' under For objects, show: Hope this helps "Berrybrook" wrote: In Excel 2007 I want to insert objects in one column but in a succession of rows of a worksheet.

All of these had already been set as you suggest. I have gone back and reset
them again with no difference in the result. There seems to be no consistent connection of the object to the specific row. Some objects move as expected, but others show up in an unrelated row or hidden. or missing! It seems that the row height also varies when I do a sort. Some rows have become shorter than I had originally set to accommodate a larger object. In this case, even cells containing text end up not showing all of the text in the original box. Is it necessary to set all of the row heights the same as the largest of my objects? Am I doing something wrong when I do an insert? Sometimes I have done a copy and paste from another document, sometimes I have done an insert from a file. Are there different ways to insert or paste objects into a cell?

You cannot insert objects into a cell.
Objects lay on top of the cell and will sort with the data if the object is sized to fit within the boundaries of the cell and set to move and size with cells. But remember, sorting juggles the contents of cells but the row heights do not follow the contents. i.e. row 3 is 25 points You sort on contents. Row 3 is still 25 oints. Consequently..........squished and distorted objects. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Fri, 9 Oct 2009 08:25:01 -0700, Berrybrook wrote: All of these had already been set as you suggest.

Forgot to suggest a possible fix.
Select all rows and set to autofit. Select all cells and set to wrap text. Gord On Wed, 14 Oct 2009 08:27:54 -0700, Gord Dibben <gorddibbATshawDOTca wrote: You cannot insert objects into a cell.
