I would like to know if it is possible to open a word doc from clicking on a
cell. in other words. If i have a list of names and i wanted to see whatt the
person looks like by clicking on a cell and it would open a word doc with the
picture on it. could it be done?
Or if i could do the same in excel.
Any help would be great.
