Pasting a link to excel 2007

[Paul Grigg]

Afraid not. Using this import procedure, the table definitely appears in the
FrameMaker file, but when you create the PDF the table is once more
represented by a black stub. Nice try, though.

Thanks, Paul

Don't paste, import. Select File > Import > Object. In the Insert Object
dialog, check Create from File, and browse to your Excel file. Check Link
and click OK. 

One caveat: FM 6 obviously preceded Excel 2007, so you'll probably have to
save the Excel file in an earlier format (97/2003 or maybe 5/95) before you
do this. 

HTH!
