SYMPTOMS
If you attempt to embed a large Microsoft Excel version 4.0 or 4.0a worksheet object in Microsoft Word for Windows, you may receive a low memory error message.

Word Version 6.x
There is insufficient memory. Save the document now.

Note: This is not a problem with Excel version 5.0.

CAUSE
Depending on the available memory, Excel cannot embed more than approximately 66 rows of data into Word for Windows. If you attempt to embed a larger selection, a low memory error will occur.

WORKAROUND
Embedding smaller objects works correctly.
