SYMPTOMS

When you insert a spreadsheet into a Microsoft Works Word Processor document, and you then attempt to modify the spreadsheet by inserting a row or column, the modifications to the spreadsheet disappear when you click outside the spreadsheet.

When you double-click the spreadsheet, the row or column that you inserted reappears.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, follow these steps:
  1. Double-click the spreadsheet object to activate it.
  2. Select any cell in the inserted row or column.
  3. Press the SPACEBAR.
  4. Click outside the spreadsheet object to deactivate it.

    Note that the spreadsheet has been updated to reflect the row or column that you inserted.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
