= SUMMARY =

In Word, if extra carriage returns are inserted in any table cell that is linked to a Microsoft Excel worksheet, the following error message will occurwhen you update the link:

Cannot send multiple paragraph cells to Excel

This error message occurs because Excel does not allow carriage returns in a cell.

To correct this situation, remove extra paragraph marks or convert them to line breaks (to create a line break, press SHIFT+RETURN) before updating the link.

To update the link, follow the appropriate procedure below:

Word Version 5.0

 * 1) Select the text to be updated.
 * 2) From the Edit menu, choose Link Options.
 * 3) Choose the Update Now button.

Note: This error message occurs only if you are using System 6.x with MultiFinder. In System 7.0, the entire link is selected and you are not able to add extra text to the pasted object in the Word document.

Word Version 4.0
From the Edit menu, choose Update Link or Edit Link.
