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

How are you linking them?

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?
