placing a photo in a cell

[Earleen]

I have Office Excel 2007 and would like to place a jpeg in a cell. I wish to
create a program to keep my photo's of my quilt blocks in order as I add to
them. I would be adding on a random basis and wish to keep them in
alphabetical order. Thank you.

Hi Earleen,

This is a discussion group for Access, a different part of MS Office
from Excel.

Be that as it is, I don't think you can place images inside cells in
Excel. Only floating above them. But try posting in the
microsoft.public.excel to find out. However, you may not need to use Excel
at all. You can view your images in alpabetic order by going to your My
Documents folder and then your My Pictures folder. If you create a separate
folder for your quilt images and place them and only them all in that new
folder, you can then change the view (View menu) to either Thumbnails or
Filmstrip. If they are not sorted by name, also on the View menu you tell it
to sort them on the "Arrange Icons By" submenu.

Hope that helps,
