I have tried the standard solutions for inserting an excel spreadsheet into a word document with marginal success. Each of them has flaws in their presentation. I write to inquire about the possibility of creating hyperlinks within the same document. I would like to drag xls files somewhere on the word document that is not visible to the reader and not appear as an attachment. Instead, I would like to create a hyperlink in the appropriate text of the document that would launch the spreadsheet, allow the reader to view its contents and close it leaving the reader at the same place in the text. Much thanks for any guidance
