Email a Word 2003 file maintaining links to Excel file
After developing a link to Excel 2003 from Word 2003, is it possible to
maintain the link while sending the files in email? Do I have to somehow package the files so that the link is maintained? Also, if I can make the above work, is it possible to link to a specific worksheet in the Excel file? And then to a set of selected rows? -- Thanks. Steve K |

Email a Word 2003 file maintaining links to Excel file
Hi ?B?U3RldmUgSw==?=,
After developing a link to Excel 2003 from Word 2003, is it possible to maintain the link while sending the files in email? Do I have to somehow package the files so that the link is maintained? This would only be possible if the recipient sets up the exact same folder hierarchy on his machine for the Excel file and copies it to that folder (before opening the Word document). Then the link in the Word document should find it. The LINK field in Word does NOT support any kind of relative path. You could ask the recipient to edit the link (or the link field), but I'd think that would be more hassle than requiring him to create a folder... Also, if I can make the above work, is it possible to link to a specific worksheet in the Excel file? And then to a set of selected rows? Certainly. A link is always set up to a specific range in an Excel workbook. But you have to remember that the entire contents of the workbook are always available through the link, no matter what it points to, specifically.
