I am not clear on what you want to do. A "link" is simply a means of
automatically copying from one place to another. For instance, a link in
WB1, cell A1, to WB2 , cell F17 simply means that whatever is in F17 of WB2
will appear in A1 of WB1, assuming both workbooks are open.
Provide an example of what you want to do. Something like "I have this
in A1 and that in B1 and this other in C1 of WB1. I want THIS to be in WB2.
Show the details of what you have and the details of what you want to have.

I have a very large, unwieldy spreadsheet that I am trying to condense by
embedding a small set of cells in a cell in a master spreadsheet.
Following
the online help for "Create a link to another cell, workbook, or program,"
I
can embed a Excel workbook in a cell in another workbook. However, I do
not
need to embed a whole workbook. I only need to embed a few cells from a
worksheet.

At the bottom of the online help article at

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...995141033.aspx

In the section entitled, "Insert part of an existing document as a linked
or
embedded object," the article states:

"Note You can't paste worksheet cells or a chart as a linked or embedded
object in a Microsoft Excel workbook. However, you can use the Copy
Picture
command (hold down SHIFT and click the Edit menu) to create a link to
cells
on this or another sheet"

What is meant by "a link" here? If I just insert a snapshot of the cells
I
want to embed in the cell in the master spreadsheet, I get a graphical
picture, not a "link" to the original cells I am embedding, nor an
embedded
object I can modify with Excel.
