This article was previously published under Q146900 SYMPTOMS
When you paste link a Microsoft Excel object into a Word document, the
range name changes to cell reference (CxRx) format. This problem occurs
when you select the object in Excel and use the Copy Picture command. (The
Copy Picture command is available when you hold the SHIFT key and click the
Edit menu in Excel.)
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use the Copy command instead of the Copy
Picture command in Excel. The drawback to using this method is that an
embedded chart is not copied as part of the link. An embedded chart is
available only when you use the Copy Picture command.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed above.
