Hi Curt,

have a column in excel that I wish to enter text from a word. doc Can code be
written to link to open the word.doc then save the text to a given location
in excel

yes, using links or not using links.

To get you started, see:
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/interdev/c...wordfromxl.htm

The question is, what text from Word you want to get,
and where it should be inserted in what worksheet.
