There are multiple Word documents that get updated. I need a method to allow
a user to instantly (or as quickly as possible) display the first 3
paragraphs from any particular Word document in Excel.

For example, in Excel user clicks "Planning Services"; then the first 3
paragraphs in the Word document "Planning Services.doc" is displayed for the
user. The user only needs to read the info, not do anything else with it.

The paragraphs are relatively short, but I'm not sure they would fit into a
MsgBox. On the other hand, I would like to avoid the hassle of developing a
user form if possible. There will be many copies of the Excel file
distributed to many users on the network.

Any suggestions? Thanks much in advance.
