Default Insert info from a cell into text

Using Excel 2003 one of my end users has a cell that contains text such as
"Jane Doe holds 5% of Widgets". She would like to have the reference to 5%
be variable based on the results in a formula from a different cell. Is this
possible?

In say, C2: ="Jane Doe holds "&TEXT(B2,"0%")&" of Widgets"
where B2 houses the formula calculating the percentage
