Hyperlinking an Excel file into Word

[brian.baker13]

Hi

I am trying to hyperlink an excel file into word but I keep on getting
the message 'cannot open the specified file'. I have done this
frequently before so cannot understand why I started to get this error
message?
I believe the issue is with the excel file rather than word.

Thanks

Brian

Try the =HYPERLINK() function rather than inserted hyperlinks. Something like:

=HYPERLINK("file:///c:\test folder\x.doc","the x file")
