(MS) Linking from a point in an XLS file to a spot in a Word doc?
Subject:(MS) Linking from a point in an XLS file to a spot in a Word doc? From:Emoto <emoto1 -at- gmail -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Tue, 23 Feb 2010 15:14:11 -0500
Hi folks,
A client has a big spreadsheet with macros in it. One of our business
people wants to make it so that when you click on some spot in the
spreadsheet, you are taken to a specific spot in a Word doc. If this
were all in Word, he would have it all in one file and use
"cross-references".
I told him I wasn't sure if ti could be done, but that I would take a
look. So far, I have found that I can link to a whole doc and get it
to open, but not a specific spot in that doc. I tried embedding the
XLS and then going into it to make a link and found no way to link to
the Word doc in which it was embedded.
Anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks,
Bob
