HELP!! Unsolved Mystery
 

Okay so I think we've tried everything, but Maybe you guys have some
more ideas.
I need to insert a "Task Object" which what we basically want is a link
or something to click on in our Excel Document that will allow a
document to pop up in Excel that lists our Tasks.

We tried inserting a WordPad Document and it gave us EXACTLY what we
wanted BUT.... it doesn't allow you to print the wordpad document and
that is what we NEED.

The comments field isn't what we're looking for and going back and
forth between worksheets is also a hassle.

Basically, is there another fuction that is like the WordPad Function
that you and PRINT? or is there a way to PRINT the wordpad document??

Thanks!!!
Amanda

Double clicking the text in the WordPad object allows printing, but its
pretty ugly. You might try inserting a hyperlink to the wordpad document in
a cell. Clicking the hyperlink would cause wordpad itself to launch and give
you better printing capabilities

Maybe just put a hyperlink to that external file.

Then you can print it from whatever application opens the file.
