Hi-

I am trying to attach a Word doc with 17 pages into one of the rows and
cells of Excel. Can anyone explain how to do this?

Do you want the word.doc data in Excel or just a link to the word.doc.

For data only just copy/paste from Word

To insert as object in an Excel sheet...........Insert>Object>Create from file.

Browse to the word.doc and double-click it.

Checkmark "display as icon" and OK your way out.

A double-click on the Icon in your Excel sheet will open Word and your word.doc

Thanks Gord- I wanted the file itself to be inserted in a cell, and for the
most part, it worked, although it overlapped into several other cells & Rows-
if I were to just insert a link, other people using their own PC's would not
be able to access, it correct?

I wasn't sure what "attach" meant.

Yes, you are correct.....if linked, other users could not access the word.doc.

I know of no way to insert a 17 page document into a single cell.

Well, the fact that my 17 page doc is embedded in the Excel sheet is quite
the achievement already, so many thanks for your help!
