Can't Edit Embedded Spreadsheet or Word Object (145446)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q145446 SYMPTOMS
When you try to edit a Word object that was inserted into a Microsoft Excel
worksheet, or when you try to edit a Microsoft Excel worksheet inserted
into Word, you receive one of the following error messages:
Error: Word cannot obtain the data for the <filename> link.
Cannot start the source application for this object.
CAUSE
The inserted or copied file contains an extended ANSI character (such as
international letters) in its filename. Word does not represent the
extended characters in the filename correctly, and thus, Word cannot
identify the file's location.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed at the
beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Word for Windows
95, version 7.0a.
RESOLUTION
Upgrade to Word for Windows 95, version 7.0a.
To obtain Word for Windows 95 version 7.0a, call the Microsoft Order Desk
at (800) 360-7561. If you are outside the United States, contact your local
subsidiary. To locate your subsidiary, see the Microsoft World Wide Offices
