link ruins formatting...
I have a word doc where I have text and numbers in this fashion:
ababababab (tab) xxx (tab) (tab) (tab) ababab ((tab) xxx I wanted to link the numbers to some excel cells, but the moment I make the link the formating goes awry like this: ababab (link) ababab (tab) etc... Is there any hope for me and my petty question? TIA Hernan |

Hello JoAnn,
Thank you for replying. I go to the open excel sheet, select the cell, copy it and then go to the word document, place the cursor where I want the link and click on Edit and Paste as Special selecting the html option.

Okay, you aren't linking them, you're just copying the values. Why are you
using the .html option? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Hernan" wrote in message ... Hello JoAnn, Thank you for replying.

Merry Christmas JoAnn,
As to the html option, I am following an advise from another forum or post. Now concerning the link. It updates the cell involved accordingly, and that's not a capability that can be performed by any value just being pasted. Right? Thanks for the reply.

That makes sense. My experience with Excel and linking is really nominal and
even then it's just been between Excel documents. Try posting your question over in the Excel newsgroup. Someone over there may have some help for you. And a very Merry Christmas to you too. ;-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Hernan" wrote in message ...
