Hi,

I'm using Office 2013. I want to embed a WORD doc into EXCEL. You can "Insert > Object" and then choose options from "Create New" or "Create from File." In either case, the document is displayed with no margins. All Word text is justified to a black lined box enclosing the object. I can't change the appearance to include a "normal" margin. I have tried adjusting margins of the Excel sheet and separately of the Word doc (from within Excel), but nothing works.

You can move the Word "object" to create some white space, but that has no effect on the object "box," so the text is still aligned to a black line. It should look the same either in Word (where it does show a normal margin) or as a Word object.

PDFs embed fine and look identical to their appearance in Acrobat Reader.

Any ideas of fixes? Does anyone else have this issue?

Thanks.
