  I have embedded Google Docs and Scribd just fine. However, when I try to embed a Microsoft Word document, my blog automatically adjusts the width=”402″ height=”327″.

  I have tried setting the width to: auto, 100% and a variation of larger sizes. Every time it reverts back to the default.

  I can embed my Microsoft link into an html document and open in a browser with success. It appears that wordpress.com is making it revert to a smaller size. Can anyone help me fix this?

  Thanks,
  Mike

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Afraid we cannot help with a private blog, because we cannot examine the code.

  I’ll make it live. The site isn’t finished yet but I don’t think it will harm anything. I’m still scraping content from another site.

  It is live now. Thanks for the feedback raincoster.

  Thanks. I’ll paste the code for that here and the look it over. I can’t see any reason for the teeny embed.

  I’m going to ask, have you changed the “width=”402″ height=”327″ ” part manually in the text editor? Try changing the width and leaving the height blank.

  Yes I have changed that with no results. I have even tried to add “width=”900” to the end of the code after I have updated it.

  Nevertheless, I tried adding width=”900″ to the end of the code and it worked this time. Two hours later.

  OK, everything is working, though, it consistently changes my sizing after pasting my link from Microsoft and updating.

  Here is how I fixed it: (I might add I tried this a few hours ago…it’s getting late)

  Thanks. Weird that it was being overridden before.
