I'm in the process of trying to setup a large Excel (using 2003) file
that
I'm basically going to be using as a database of sorts to then import
and
merge the data from into a Publisher file.

Thus far I've been able to setup all the actual data sections of Excel
and
import them with no problem.

The issue I'm running into is when it comes to finding an efficient way
to
insert the file paths for the image files that I'm going to be using
into
Excel.

The easiest method I've found thus far is to copy and paste the file
path
for one picture from the folder into a cell and then copy this info
into
another cell and then change the filename for each picture by hand.
For
exampe: change C:/test1.jpg to C:/test2.jpg. (I do plan on re-naming
the
pictures in ascending numerical order so that it makes it a bit easier
for
me).

What I'm hoping for is that someone knows of a way for me to be able
to
automate this process somehow using Excel as my final list will likely
include over a thousand pictures and I really don't relish the idea of
doing
each of them by hand.
