SUMMARY

An object inserted in the Works Word Processor module with the OLE feature cannot span two pages.

Although objects from the Works Spreadsheet module or another OLE application can be created to span two or more pages, Works truncates part of the object if it will not fit on one page in the Word Processor document.

If an object is less than one page, but is placed on a partially full page, the object may be automatically moved to the next page.

NOTE: Works version 2.0 for Windows, may attempt to reduce the size of the object if it is too big to fit on the page. This may cause the information in the embedded object to appear corrupt.

MORE INFORMATION

This behavior is by design. There are 2 ways to try to work around it:

Method 1

Reduce the object size before bringing it into the Word Processor document.

Method 2

Reduce the page margins in the Word Processing document before bringing in the object.
