Formatting Lost When Linking Lotus Spreadsheet

= SUMMARY =

When using the Library Link Spreadsheet command in Microsoft Word for DOS version 5.0 to link in spreadsheet data from Lotus 1-2-3 version 2.1, cell formatting may not transfer.

If the cells in the spreadsheet were formatted with 1-2-3’s Global Format command rather than the Range Format command, this loss of formatting occurs.

To work around this the problem, reformat the data in the spreadsheet that you want to link into Word using the Range Format command.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 5.0. This problem was corrected in Word version 5.5.
