SUMMARY
After copying information from the Microsoft Works for Windows Spreadsheet to the Word Processor, some columns may be misaligned. This is caused by the way Works for Windows sets tabs for the alignment of different data types.

A workaround may be to paste a link from the Spreadsheet and then all columns will be aligned as they appear in the Spreadsheet.



MORE INFORMATION
When copying from the Spreadsheet, the only option that will allow you to paste a link is the Paste Special command under the Edit menu.

When linking an object from a spreadsheet, the spreadsheet file must be saved. If it is not saved, the link will not be saved and you will get the error message &quot;Cannot edit object&quot; or &quot;Cannot find linked document&quot; when you try to edit the object.
