Word in an Excel File

[lily]

Dear,

I would like to know how to add a word file in Excel,
so that I can be able to send for example 1 Excel File, with a lot of word files to everyone to view it.

Thank you

You can insert a Word file into an Excel worksheet via Insert|Object>Create from File. If you choose the 'Display as Icon' option, double-clicking on it will open the object as a Word document.

I tried this function before, but it seems that other people cannot see the word document after I have sent it. But I myself, can see or use it

[macropod]

How are you sending it? Do these other people have MS Office?

[lily]

Sending by email, yes they have MS Office. On the Excel File, other people can see there is a word file , but when you click on it, it doesn't do anything.

Assuming the document is being sent as an attachment, unless you chose the 'Insert as Link' option when inserting, the recipients should be able to open the files via the icons. If they can't, that suggests a problem with their system (perhaps a security setting). If so, you can't control that and your only other option would be to send the documents as separate attachments in their own right.

Well noted with thanks. And thank you very much for the swift reply.
