Here is the deal. I have an expense report procedure written in word and the
expense report itself is in Excel. Boss loves it and oh by the way can you
add the Word procedures document into an Excel tab. My answer was sure and
now I have farted around with it way to long. Sure can be humbling when what
you though you knew wasn't really known at all.

I have tried inserting an object, browsing, and picking the word document.
Appears to work but only grabs the 1st page of the word doc.

I have tried all sorts of things and I won't even mention most of them
because all I manage to get from word and into excel is the 1st page.

So I'm hoping some guru will setup and help out this simplton.

Thanks in advance
 
An embedded Word document will only show one page. You could separate
the text into two (or more) Word documents, and insert both into the
Excel file.
 
If you double click on that embedded word document, you can see all the pages.

Or you could create a new document for each page and embed each page/document
separately.

Or you could just Copy|paste the text from the word document into excel. (It
might not look too bad.)

I don't know of any other workarounds.
 
Well, maybe one more workaround.

Instead of embedding the word document, just put a hyperlink to the document in
excel. Let the link open your document in MSWord. (But that means that the
document has to be in a common location that everyone can access.)
