Dragging from Excel to a Protected Area in Word

Article ID: Q109295
Creation Date: 02-JAN-1994
Revision Date: 10-SEP-1996 The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0
Microsoft Excel for Windows, version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

When you drag an object from Excel 5.0 for Windows into Word 6.0 for Windows, you can drop the object into a protected area of the document.

CAUSE

As expected, you can drag an object from Excel into an unprotected area of a Word document. However, if you drag the object from Excel into the results of a field in a protected area, the object is inserted immediately following the field. This can modify the protected area of a document.
