The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q181225 SYMPTOMS
When you double-click an embedded object to edit it, the object is opened
in the program that created it instead of in Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh
Edition.
STATUS
This behavior is by design of Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition.
MORE INFORMATION
In Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows, if you insert a document from another
program into a worksheet, you can edit the embedded document by
double-clicking it. When you do this, the document is edited "in place";
you remain in Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows, but the menus and toolbars
change so that you can edit the document.
In Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition, in-place editing is not available.
If you double-click a document that is inserted in a worksheet, the program
in which you created the document is activated. You can then edit the
document in that program. When you are finished, quit and return to
Microsoft Excel.
