Excel Table imported as picture (Word 2002 on Win 2000 PRO)

A colleague is attempting to update a Word document prepared by a previous employee. It includes an Excel table which she believes has been imported as a picture since she can’t access or alter the table and it is viewed as a picture. Can anybody tell me how this was done, please? Or, if in fact, we’re on the wrong track completely.

Can’t tell you whether you’re on the right track or not, but I have intentionally achieved the same result — pasting an Excel table as a Picture, by: copying the appropriate range in Excel, then switching to Word, then Edit, Paste Special, as Picture.

Hope this helps.

Perhaps you can explain what is happening, I use Excel and Word 2000.

If you use paste special as picture or metafile, you do not get the Excel gridlines.
If you use paste special and insert as a bitmap, you get the gridlines
If it is just a copy and paste, the Excel info is inserted as a Word Table

Thanks
