Inserting multiple Word Pages into CAD

[Rico]

thanks for all the advice. I opted to copy and paste the word document as separate 8.5 x 11 OLE entities. That way they are still Word objects...the only drawback is flow from one part of the same document to the next..

That's a good compromise. Flow is definitely a problem BUT at least you know it'll work every time.

Weird that it didn't work when you formatted the page setup as a 22x22 sheet though .... I've done that 3 or 4 times and it's worked every single time.

Oh well, glad we could find a solution for you.

I can respect the anticipation of new problems brought on by 3rd party tools.

FWIW - We use XL2CAD to import large Excel spreadsheets, and have no problems with it.

Of course the real solution here is to suggest/vote/hope that Autodesk will integrate a REAL solution in a future version.

since you guys have been so helpful and responsive I thought I'd run another problem w/OLE by you....

I am having a problem ( and I know I have encountered this before) where edges of the OLE object gets cropped upon plotting although it is well within the layout boundaries. It looks fine on screen but gets mutilated when I ask it to deliver...

These seem like such basic requests, Im wondering what other architects do to insert schedules and notes in drawings, and why Autodesk hasnt covered the fundamentals.

thanks again
