Hi all, I use Excel 2007 on Windows XP. I wanted to make a multi-level list in excel to list different factors, sub-factors, sub-sub-factors and so on.(eg 1-1.1,1.2-1.2.1,1.2.2-1.3, 2 etc). So I embedded a word 2007 document in it. It worked well. But as the list grew it was difficult to see the entire list without double clicking on it. So to accommodate future tasks I increased the size of the embedded object (word document). With that the size of the fonts in the existing list got enlarged. Clearly the text was resizing with the size of the object. 1. Is there a way to prevent this text resizing? ... If not... 2. Is there a better way of incorporating multi-level listing in Excel? (without embedding word document) As far as possible I would not like to add macros to the worksheet.
