Hyperlinking to a Glossary
I have several rows of cells containing sentences, like 'the dog ra after the cat). On another sheet, I have a glossary of terms wit Column A giving the term, and column B the meaning (eg (Col A) Dog (Co B) Four legged animal that dislikes cats). I want to identify in each of the cells within the rows, that contai the sentences, which words (if any) are in the glossary, and the hyperlink them to one another (the individual words, not the whol cells), or at the least, underline the words so the reader knows thei meaning is explained in the glossary. I think this is a VBA problem but not sure. Thanks for your help in advance -- Andrew ----------------------------------------------------------------------- AndrewB's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=3199 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=51726 |

Hyperlinking to a Glossary
suppose in sheet 1 in B2 the entry is
the dog ran after the cat in sheet2 a1 is <dog B1 is <the four leggedanimal which ran after the cat highlight sheet1 B2 and click data(menu)-text to columns in step 1 of wizard choose <demilited and click next in step2 of the wizard tick only <space and no other ticks and click finish the words of your sentence will be distributed from B2 to G2 in sheet1 now in sheet 1and cell B3 type =VLOOKUP(B2,Sheet2!$A$1:$B$1,2,FALSE) (in this reference $A1:$B$1 may have the whole gloassary database) copy B3 to c3 to G3 except against dog (i.e. only C3) all others will be #N/A that means only dog has a meaning in gloosary and no other words in that sentence does it give an idea how to solve your problem or is this the problem?

Hyperlinking to a Glossary
Thanks for the reply. It works fine, except for one problem. Some of the terms in the glossary have more than one word, eg: Sheet 2 A1: <Dog hunting strategy Sheet 2 B1: <The Dog tends to hunt in packs, but has a less advanced stealth capabilities than the Cat Sheet 1 A1: <The application of the Dog hunting strategy to the Cat is usually unsuccessfull The only thing I can think of is to list every combination of words possible. In reality there are a maximum of 3 words in a glossary term.
