Framemaker 7.2 Windows XP SP3 Excel copy/paste

[Pacha9]

After installing SP3 on Windows XP I find that I am no longer capable of doing a copy/paste of Excel tables in a Frame document. The result is a very small frame with no object inside.

All worked fine when I unsintalled SP3 an I was able to create tables by copying them from Excel and using the Edition/Paste special in Frame.

Anyone having same problem and found a solution other than uninstalling SP3

SP3 apparently "fixed" OLE... this has been reported since SP3 started shipping and affects any OLE imports.

No one has mentioned a "fix," but I would expect it to come from Microsoft rather than Adobe.

Two (sort of) workarounds:

1. Use Edit > Paste Special (Rich Text Format). However, if you have color-shaded cells, they covert as black fill; in FM, changing the text in those cells to "white" is a workaround to the workaround. :|

2. Copy/Paste the table into Word, Save As the Word to RTF, copy the table in Word then, in FM use Edit > Paste Special (Rich Text Format). Plain text and cell shading converts fine; however, calculated numbers get trashed. Another :|

FWIW, you can also import Excel files by Reference into FM and format
either using the source or your document's table formatting.
