Re: Problem with inserting page numbers

Hi =?Utf-8?B?SiBBdXN0aW4=?=,

I just created a new Word 2007 document and copy/pasted (without link)
several ranges from Excel 2007. They have displayed as tables (which is what
I wanted). However, when I go to insert page number/bottom of page or any of
the other options, it appears it is trying to insert a selection/link. All
my pastes were direct and did not try and link but it appears Word believes I
still have a selection/link active. I've gone to a new page in Word and
typed in text to be sure I was out of the pasted tables.

Can you describe more precisely what Word is doing that makes you say "However,
when I go to insert page number/bottom of page or any of the other options, it
appears it is trying to insert a selection/link."? What's Word doing?

If I
- copy a set of cells in Excel
- switch back to Word
- paste
- From the Insert tab in the Ribbon, choose Page Number/Bottom of Page, and
select and entry

Word goes to the Footer region of the document and displays a page number.
