Word Importing data from excel automatically
Is there a way to create a word document which when you type a certain code
in, it then brings a sentance which is held in an excel document into the document. Which will then save the person time of typing the sentance out over and over again! Any ideas??? Alistaire |

Alistaire Yes, there is a way (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/InterDev/XLToWordWithDAO.htm), but why bother? Use either AutoCorrect or AutoText. For instance, read http://www.word.mvps.org/faqs/custom...n/AutoText.htm. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Great thanks for that, the reason being, is that my boss at work wants to not
also put text in, he wants a document which when u type a code it brings up images aswell. Mad a i know but if i can get it working i will get into his good books! Plus he got the idea from someone who used Microsoft Binder to store the information Alistaire "Jay Freedman" wrote: LW_Greeney wrote: Is there a way to create a word document which when you type a certain code in, it then brings a sentance which is held in an excel document into the document.

AutoText can hold images. That's no problem at all. Please read the
article I cited. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Fri, 7 Oct 2005 11:45:02 -0700, "LW_Greeney" wrote: Great thanks for that, the reason being, is that my boss at work wants to not also put text in, he wants a document which when u type a code it brings up images aswell.

For that you need autocorrect rather than autotext. Autocorrect can insert
much the same sorts of things as autotext. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org LW_Greeney wrote: Thats really cool, but can anyone help me in how i can have the data or images appear in the document when i have entered a code in the document eg like SP30 and then a paragraph automatically appears!
