Hi, I have a (I hope) simple question about tables in Word 4.0.  I've created a
table that is linked to a section of a spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel.  This
section is defined by a name, Data_Area.  When I add rows to the data area, and
select Update Link in Word, all is well, and the new data is reflected in the
table.  However, if I manually select rows of the data area, copy them to the
clipboard, and try to paste them into the table, I get the error "Copy and
Paste areas are different sizes".  This seems strange, since I should be doing
the same thing, manually, that Update Link does automagically.  I've tried all
sorts of things before doing the paste, like selecting the first cell only,
first row only, whole table, etc.  Nothing works!  

I sure would appreciate any help you could give.

Thx, Rich
