linking to word bookmarks

[linda]

I am trying to link from an excel cell to a bookmark in a
word document. I get an error that excel cannot parse the
word file. Any ideas. As much as i like excel i am
wondering if i need to be using access.

For linking to a Word bookmark:

In the Hyperlink dialog, navigate to your word file. Add an octothorpe
(#) and the bookmark name. e.g.:

mydoc.doc#mybookmark


Access vs. XL:

Is that what it's really named?<g>

I did that. Didn't seem to work. only took me directly to
the file but not the bookmark. Is there a limit on the
number of links to bookmarks on one sheet?

Thanks
Linda

Not that I know of (I'm sure there is one, but I'm also sure it's very
large).

The technique takes me right to the bookmark in Office 2003/2004. Are
you sure you're spelling the bookmark name correctly?
