How do I link a number to a word? ie If I type "Pleat" in cell A1 it will
show "105" in cell B1? Is this possible?

If it is really that simple then in cell b1
=if(a1="pleat",105,"")
or if you have a lot of this take a look in HELP index for VLOOKUP

Chet

How many of these words to numbers do you have?

Just one or two and you could use ToolsAutocorrect Options.

You could use the VLOOKUP Function with a table.

See Debra Dalgleish's site for info.

While you're there check out using Data Validation drop-downs for entering
values to lookup.
