Refer to a Word document in Excel

Hello everybody,.
I have a big word document and a shorter excel document.
My Excel document has the same parts as the word document. What I would like for example, is to have hyperlinks in a column for each row, refering to the corresponding word part.
What I say, is that I need an Hyperlinks column that do the same as the TOC links. When I clcik on the Hyperlinks it goes in the word document at the right page. But I can't find a way to use Word's TOC from Excel.
Each Excel row has a unique number corresponding to the headings and TOC of the word document (for example "3.3.3"). I tryied following the link of the TOC by finding the right line of TOC using "Word.Application.Selection.Find.Execute",
but it seems TOC links do not work as hyperlinks do.
Any idea?
Thank you for your help!

Hello,
I think that asking this question in
Word for Developers or
Excel for Developers would be best. I would start off in the Word forum.

  • Did I miss something in the fine print? I installed Lion and and come to find out, I can no longer open any Word documents or Excel spreadsheets as they are no longer supported (being PowerPC apps).  Seriously?!?!?!?!!   What are my alternatives?

    Hi Mary and Matthew
    You might find it helpful to "try before you buy" - there is a 30 day free trial offer for Office for Mac 2011, accessible from M's .com website.
    You may be able to use this period to open and resave your old documents in a format that enables you to switch instead to using Apple's iWorks apps moving forward.
    I initially intended to do something similar, but ended up buying Office as it provided an easier way (for me, at least) to continue working with years worth of old emails, letters, spreadsheets and other documents (from my PC days) without risking damage to their integrity, formatting, etc.

  • How do I get a refund?  I have tried to use this converter to change a PDF to a word document or excel document three of four times and it always fails..  I want my money back but don't see any way to communicate with Adobe.

    How do I get a refund?  I have tried to use this converter to change a PDF to a word document or excel document three of four times and it always fails..  I want my money back but don't see any way to communicate with Adobe.  i really just want my money back.  Very disappointed.  Also disappointed that it is so hard to find a way to communicate with Adobe that I have to resort to asking this question in this forum. 

    You need to use the CHAT link in support to reach Adobe staff. Be sure you know the product name you are trying to cancel, Adobe have lots of products, several converters etc. I think it is ExportPDF you have, most likely.

  • Reading PDF files, WORD documents and Excel documents on iPod Touch

    Can some of you recommend the best application to read (if not amend or edit) pdf, Word and Excel documents on my iPod Touch? Mine is a first generation (Dec 2007 purchase) currently using OS 2.x (but could upgrade to 3.1.1 at anytime and will soon) - 16 gb capacity.
    PDF files are a must - and how to move them from my MacBook to the iPod touch?
    Others, including even PowerPoint or Keynote presentations - that'd be great if I could view them!
    Thanks for any comments on the various programs (are there many?) and which ones are the best in your experience(s).
    Best regards,

    I don't know if this what you are looking for but there is an application that let's you save email attachments directly to your iPod touch without having to work with your pc or mac on wifi to transfer files. The name for the application is: "Download Manager".... Link to the application is below.

  • Word document to PDF File possible?

    Hi to all, im using mac mini at home, in office i use windows. in windows theres a software that converts word documents (or excel files or ppt files) to pdf file. is there a freeware on this for mac?
    my dilema is actually this: i am putting pictures in a word document and convert them to pdf.
    any help would be nice.
    Thanks

    Hi iSphere: Have you tried, going to "File" > "Print" then at the bottom of the print dialog box select "PDF" and then "save as PDF". This will create a PDF file to be saved.
    Hope this helps

  • Attachments in MS word document in Pages

    I would like to open a word document containing excel and pdf attachments embedded in this word document using Pages for iPad.
    Would I be able to open these excel and pdf attachments in Pages?

    As far as I know, the feature is unavailable in Pages for Mac so it would be surprising to see it in Pages for iPad.

  • Read a .dot (MS Word Document Template) from jsp

    Hi,
    I have a link to a .dot (MS Word document Template file on the jsp page. While trying to access it from a link on the browser, the file is getting displayed in binary format.
    If I try a normal word document or excel document, I am able to open/save the document.
    I tried adding the following lines in the web.xml too with the same results.
    <mime-mapping>
    <extension>dot</extension>
    <mime-type>application/msword</mime-type>
    </mime-mapping>
    and tried with this also
    <mime-mapping>
    <extension>dot</extension>
    <mime-type>application/vnd.ms-word</mime-type>
    </mime-mapping>
    Can anybody help me on this ?
    Thanks n advance, Sajiv

    As you had directed, I tried a sample jsp with just
    the link to the document. When I click on the link,
    it allows me to open/save the document and the
    default type it gives is with the extension.doc.
    I am able to save the file as a .dot itself.
    So, if this is coming from an application in a
    server, is there any particular reason why it is not
    functioning properly ?I don't fully understand if the problem is already solved or not?
    When you mean by UserAgent, what do you actually
    mean?An useragent is just a client application which can access network sources. In this case it is likely a web browser, for example Internet Explorer or Firefox. It might be useful to try as many useragents as possible so that you can exclude the useragent's default behaviour.

    Hi ...
    Checked to see how much free space there is on the startup disk lately?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac GuidesFreeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
    If disk space is not the issue, booting in Safe Mode deletes system caches that may help.
    A Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left corner of the screen.
    From the drop down menu click Restart.
    See if that makes a difference ...

    The second example you give is closer, but you need to
    enclose the query
    fields in quotes and use OR rather than AND...
    SELECT * FROM produtos WHERE prod_modelo LIKE '%colname%' OR
    prod_funcao
    LIKE '%colname%' OR prod_descricao LIKE '%colname%' OR

  • Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table

    Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table. I have Windows 8.1 64-bit and Office 2010 Professional. Only phrases from within Excel tables are not searchable. I have many Word documents with embedded Excel table.
    I use it for my invoices. Those invoices are converted to pdf to be sent via mail. Searching the same phrases in related pdf files Works fine. And yes, folders are indexed, searching service is active......... For example I can find all invoices that have
    specific address or name, which is located in word document, but cannot find invoices with specific item name or price, being that information is in embedded Excel table. (not linked, embedded). I thought that is a question for Windows forum, but guys directed
    me here on Office forum. To clarify, I do not use Ctrl+F inside some document, but Windows Search in my folders. Probably the same happens in Office 2013.
    Thank you.

    Hi, I have a lot of Word documents (invoices, offers). Main part of those documents is embedded Excel file because it is easier to do mathematics in Excel than in Word. There are columns with description, unit price, quantity, taxes... Now, I need
    to find who bought HP switch 2530-24G last year. I open folder with last year invoices and search "2530". Cannot find any. But if that document was converted to pdf for mail, than I can find that phrase. Windows search does not work for content if the content
    is in embedded file.

  • Problem with embedded excel spreadsheet in Word document.

    I am having trouble with a word document that has an embedded excel spreadsheet in it.  If you double click on the spreadsheet to edit it, the following error message appears:
    "The program used to create this object is Excel.  That program is not installed on your computer.  To edit this object, you must install a program that can open the object."
    I know that Excel is installed on the PC.  The PC is running Windows XP SP3 x86 and Office Professional Plus 2007.  I have tried editing the spreadsheet on a PC running Windows 7
    Pro x64 with the same version of office and it works just fine.  I cannot find any differences in the setting between the two so I do not know why it works one place but not the other.
    Any ideas?

    If you double click on an Excel file in Windows Explorer, does Excel startup?  If not, right click on such a File and used the Open with item to set Excel as the default program for opening such files.
    If you need to do that, it may also overcome the issue with the embedded worksheet.
    Hope this helps.

  • Excel table in a word document coming up black during pdf convert

    I am converting word 2003 documents to pdf using adobe professional 7.0 and an excel table inside the word document is coming out as completely filled in black after the convert.
    any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks tim

    If you are having problems creating a PDF, there are two steps you should do FIRST
    Go to the appropriate vendor web site and apply all updates to the program you are using (several recent messages have concerned problems with MS Word conversion, with the response that different versions of Word have different BUGS that must be fixed by a download from Microsoft - and MS Office products are not the only ones which may, from time to time, need to be updated to work properly)
    Go to the Acrobat update page and apply the updates for your version of Acrobat
    IN NUMBER ORDER (updates are not cumulative so, using version 8 as an example, you must apply 8.1.0 before the 8.1.1 update)

  • Extract data on specific rows in Excel file and add it to different word document on specific rows

    I was wondering about if it's possible to set up some kind of vba for this function. I have one worksheet with different data in. Where it is written the same thing like 1A & 2A And 1B & 2B
    And if i could put this information on specific rows in a Word document.
    I would like to have all of the different data on row 1 in one specific row in a word sheet for it self and the different data on on row 2 copied into different rows in a new word document if it's possible to do some kind of domino effect of this where it can
    run 5000 diffrent rows with this kind of inputs,
    Im sorry for the bad explanation i did not really know how to translate it as good as possible, write back if you have any question!
    Cell 1A: Bmw Cell 1B: Automatic Cell 1C: Diesel Cell 1D: 2014
    Cell 2A: Volvo Cell 2B: Manual Cell 2C: Bensin Cell 2D: 2010

    Run this code in Excel.
    Sub PushToWord()
    Dim objWord As New Word.Application
    Dim doc As Word.Document
    Dim bkmk As Word.Bookmark
    sWdFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(, , , , False)
    Set doc = objWord.Documents.Open(sWdFileName)
    objWord.activedocument.variables("BrokerFirstName").Value = Range("BrokerFirstName").Value
    objWord.activedocument.variables("BrokerLastName").Value = Range("BrokerLastName").Value
    ActiveDocument.Fields.Update
    objWord.Visible = True
    End Sub
    You must add a few DocVariables to your Word document.  See these links for more information.

  • Converting Excel/Word documents

    I have been receiving Excel and Word documents as e-mail attachments. I don't have Excel or Word. I cannot open them except through "quick look" where I can't do anything with them. I need to get them into Numbers and Pages so I can work with them but have been unable to do so. I have been told it is possible to convert them through iWork but I don't know how to do this.
    I also need to be able to make labels. Any ideas?

    Drag Excel files onto the Numbers icon or open them using the file selector. Drag Word files onto the Pages icon or open them using the file selector. This will work for all versions of Office '97 to present. Additionally, TextEdit will open Word files.
