Form Letter and Embeded Word Object
I have built a spreadsheet to record data for development of complex
accounting consulting project. There is a data entry spreadsheet, a few sheets that fill out internal forms, and multiple sheets for complex caluations. I have a 3 page text heavy engagement letter that I want to have filled out automatically from the data entry and calculations. I tried to build it in a worsheet but it tells me the formula is to large when I include blocks of text and the references to data fields. So I tried embeding a word object, but I can't figure out how to input the fields into the letter. I have searched help but have not found anything yet. Any Suggestions? Please help! |

Form Letter and Embeded Word Object
Hi Aaron. Have you tried creating your engagement letter in Word and using
mail merge to insert your data and calculations? That may work.

Thank you for the suggestion. I may have to try that. I would prefer it was
automatic and idiot proof as I will not be the only user and if I have to train others on it it just won't get used. (resistance to change unless it is a clear and significant improvement. Ideally I would put the whole thing into an Access database however the calculations are very complex and beyond my level of access capability. "Michael" wrote: Hi Aaron.
