The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOM
=======
 
A Microsoft Excel subscription does not appear as expected in a Word
document. In place of the edition, the document displays the subscriber
brackets backwards with nothing between them.
 
Note: You must have paragraph marks showing to see the subscriber brackets.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
You subscribed with Best Format or with Formatted Text (RTF), and the range
of published cells is wider than 22 inches. Because Word's maximum page
width is 22 inches, Word cannot accommodate a subscription of more than 22
inches.
 
Note: Word 5.0 automatically subscribes with Best Format; Word 5.1 allows
you to select the format that you want to subscribe with.
 
WORKAROUNDS
===========
 
Method 1: Make the publisher narrower than 22 inches.
          -------------------------------------------
 
          To quickly change the column widths in Microsoft Excel 4.0,
          follow these steps:
 
          a. Highlight the columns that you want to change.
 
          b. From the Format menu, choose Column Width.
 
          c. In the Column Width dialog box, enter a smaller number in the
             column width text box and choose OK.
 
          Note: 10 is Microsoft Excel's default column width. The 10
          indicates that each cell in the column is wide enough to
          accommodate 10 characters in the worksheet's default font and
          size.
 
Method 2: Subscribe to the Microsoft Excel edition as Unformatted Text.
          -------------------------------------------------------------
 
          If you have Word 5.1, you can subscribe to the edition as
          Unformatted Text. Follow these steps:
 
          a. From the Edit menu, choose Subscribe.
 
          b. In the Subscribe dialog box, choose Unformatted Text from the
             Subscribe With menu.
 
          c. Locate and select the edition that you want to subscribe to
             and choose the Subscribe button.
