smart tags
I am using Excel 2003 and trying to put together a worksheet with stock
prices, using smart tags. The stock prices all update (I'm using MSN Money Stock Quotes), but not every stock symbol displays a smart tag. The smart tags are helpful as they carry a link back to news and other info on the stock. How can I get ALL the stocks to show smart tags? Incidentally, the stocks I'm talking about are well known stocks like GM, Proctor & Gamble & Ford. Thanks in advance. |

You can download the Excel 2003/2002 Add-in: MSN Money Stock Quotes: http://tinyurl.com/dw948 This won't automatically create a smart tag for GM, for example. But you can use the "Insert Stock Quotes" function on the newly installed toolbar to create a quote for GM, which will drop that quote onto the sheet where you specify. Then you can copy and paste the cell with "GM" in it (now with a smart tag) to where ever else you might need it, and the smart tag will go with it. -- Excel_Geek ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Excel_Geek's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=26423 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=400137 |
