This article was previously published under Q153483 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel, when you link to a table in a Microsoft Word for
Windows document, if the contents of a cell in the table are deleted, the
deletion is not updated in Microsoft Excel. The cell in Microsoft Excel
shows the previous contents, not an empty or blank cell.
WORKAROUND
When you delete the content of a table cell in Microsoft Word, add a space
to the cell. An empty cell can be represented in Microsoft Excel by
replacing the Microsoft Word for Windows table cell contents with a space.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Excel
versions listed above. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
