Linking cells to word documents

I am using a large excel database and linking individual cells to a word documents. I would like to add in rows to the excel database without changing the location of the links in the word documents. Is there a way to do this?

RE: Linking cells to word documents

Hi Rachel

Do you want to add in rows at the end of the document, or in the middle?

In the middle, if possible.

RE: Linking cells to word documents

Hi Rachel,

If you insert an entire row, then the rows will move downwards. This will change the location of the links, but they will be the same reletive to the cells that were to the left and right of them orginally.

You could insert a cell, but then you must specify where you want the adjacent cells to be moved. Left or Down. That will allow you to insert a value and not change the links that appear next to it.

I am not entirely sure if that answers your question. Please let me know.

Thanks

Richard

Excel tip:

Conditional formatting for cells that return text , not picked up by Go to command

If you have tried to format all cells containing text even those that display text as a result of a formula you may have had difficulty. As Go to command with constant selected does not pick up formulas that result in text.

Then try this. Select the range the formula cells appear in on your sheet. Format, select Conditional Formatting menu. In the dialog box under Condition 1, select "Formula Is" from drop down. Next to it in the Formula Box, enter the formula =Istext(A1. Click Format button , choose desired formatting settings and click OK. To go ahead and apply the conditional formatting click OK to accept
