Thanks for sharing the tip!

I’m so glad you asked that question – I was beginning to think it was only me. It only happens to me in Windows XP and Office 2003, so I’m through with it, but it’s very frustrating. I’ve come to the end of internet searching for an answer for this and been ignored in forums web-wide. I gather this isn’t a common problem, and was feeling persecuted

I have had those little rectangles show up in Excel printouts as well, and I’ve resolved it by using the format painter (the paint brush) to copy the format of a cell that isn’t showing the rectangle and ‘painting’ that format into the one that does. You might try creating a blank column, formatted in Marlett but not typed in. Copy the format into your typed Marlett column and see if that gets rid of the rectangle.

One workaround when that doesn’t work is to capture the spreadsheet with SnagIt. It won’t have functionality, but at least you can send it.

Also, you can use Marlett font to give you an X which I use as the opposite of a checkmark. This way the whole column can be formatted in Marlett and you can enter CHECKs or Xs.

My problem: When I cut and paste the excel data from excel to Word (or Outlook), there are these rectangular boxes that appear next to each check mark or X. It is very annoying. The only way I’ve figured out how to get rid of them is change their font to white but sometimes I can’t even highlight only the rectangles and it takes too long to do that anyways.

Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?

It can be very useful to grab a section of a spreadsheet and e-mail it to colleagues to let them know the status of whatever has been checked but this problem prevents me from doing that because it looks very awkward.

A Little off topic mayhap, but anyway – which template are you using? I truly love the header style.
