Excel 2003 Question: Embedding Word

Hi folks,

I have an Excel spreadsheet that I need to embed a Word document in the
middle. My problem is that I can't control the size of the Word
"embeddment", and when it is getting big it covers part of the spreadsheet.
I was wondering if there is any way of "dynamically" adjust the spreadsheet
so the embedded Word document will not cover up the spreadsheet please?

Thanks,

Edmond.

I'll assume that putting the Word doc on a page of it's own is not an
option here. Or that inserting a hyperlink that would open the
document in Word is also not going to get the job done.

To answer your question -- yes, you can adjust the embedded document's
size and/or location in Excel using VBA. But how exactly you would go
about doing this depends a lot on the function and layout of your
spreadsheet -- and the nature of the Word document. Have a look at the
OLEObject and Shape objects, for starters, and play with various
settings. Once you're at the stage of having some code together that
doesn't quite do the job, I'd suggest you consult with the very
helpful people at news://microsoft.public.excel.programming.

I always do it the other way around & never have issues with presenting
tables / charts...
Thats with Office XP and 2000 / 2003. If you are running earlier versions,
well thats a while back sorry.
