SYMPTOMS
Embedding an object from Microsoft Excel version 3.0 for Windows into version 3.0, 3.0b, or 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows may increase the object's size by 20 percent or more.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Excel version 3.0. This problem was corrected in Excel version 4.0.



Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Compose a message in Mail for Windows.
 * 2) From an Excel spreadsheet, select an area and choose Copy from the Edit menu.
 * 3) Minimize Excel.
 * 4) Return to the previously composed message and choose Paste from the Edit menu. The object is now embedded, but the border appears to be drawn incorrectly.
 * 5) Double-click the embedded object. This opens Excel.
 * 6) From Excel choose Update from the File menu.

This corrects the appearance of the border, but now the object is sized 20 percent larger than before.
