How do I import a word doc, multiple pages, into Excel cell?
 

Hi-

I am trying to attach a Word doc with 17 pages into one of the rows and
cells of Excel. Can anyone explain how to do this?

How do I import a word doc, multiple pages, into Excel cell?
 

Do you want the word.doc data in Excel or just a link to the word.doc.

For data only just copy/paste from Word

To insert as object in an Excel sheet...........InsertObjectCreate from file.

Browse to the word.doc and double-click it.

Checkmark "display as icon" and OK your way out.

A double-click on the Icon in your Excel sheet will open Word and your word.doc

Thanks Gord- I wanted the file itself to be inserted in a cell, and for the
most part, it worked, although it overlapped into several other cells & Rows-
if I were to just insert a link, other people using their own PC's would not
be able to access, it correct?

I wasn't sure what "attach" meant.

Yes, you are correct.....if linked, other users could not access the word.doc.

I know of no way to insert a 17 page document into a single cell.

Well, the fact that my 17 page doc is embedded in the Excel sheet is quite
the achievement already, so many thanks for your help!
