Hi,

This may be a really newbie question, but I haven't been
able to find the solution on my own and am hoping someone
here can help.

Whenever I click a link to a Word document that exists
within an Excel 2000 spreadsheet cell, Word opens as
expected. When I'm done with Word and close it, I find
that my Excel window has been minimized. I find this
behavior to be quite annoying and am wondering if there's
anything I can do to maintain my pre-click Excel window
status. Thanks.

I'm not sure that this applied to xl2k, but I think with xl97, you could make a
minor change (and hit undo) to the worksheet. If excel thinks it needs to be
saved, then the workbook won't be minimized.

Actually, maybe that was with a workbook becoming hidden after clicking on a
hyperlink.

Can you try it and see if worked and post back--just to refresh my memory.

Thanks,
 
Dave

No good. I added a space, did and undo, and clicked a link to a Wrod document. When I closed Word, Excel was minimized. Any other thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks for your help

Sorry, I don't have xl2k to test.

Maybe someone will jump in with the correct answer.
