can you use something like words "includes" in excel
To create a book in word you can use "includes" to build the different phases
of the book. I am creating a multiple page census report in excel, the bigger it gets the more it crashes, can I make separate files and use something like "includes" combine all pages in printed copy of the book. Mary Ellis |

IF???
you mean you are creating multiple pages of the same thing with different data you should consider using a macro to populate ONE report and print from there. A looping macro could do all. -- Don Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software "Mary Ellis" wrote in message ...

What I am doing is this. If you look at each form for the US Census
every one is different (10 year span between census') I have started at the earliest, 1790, and have followed a family through to the 1930 census so I have a different form for every 10 years (except for 1890 that year is missing from the National Archives) anyway, some years can be 18-20 pages more or less when paginated for print ... I finally made a pdf file from the last excel book and it was 187 pages. This excel workbook crashed numerous times, one of those times I started wondering if excel uses 'Includes' like Word does.. I don't understand the loop idea you mentioned since the names, dates, ages, people and all other data can change and will change from each census record. Thanks again for the reply...
