Custom document properties - Link to content

[dbuchanan]

I am using Excel 2003. I read in help that I can link content to custom
document properties, but on the custom page of the document properties
dialog window the checkbox "Link to content" is grayed out!

The file is created, saved and opened.

How do I gain access to the "Link to content" feature of the custom
document properites?

You need to create a name next to the formula bar to link to. I've been
searching for this for a while and finally figured it out., Read this doc
for more info.

Hi D,

Before you can use the Link to Content feature, you must create one or more
names in the workbook.

Once named ranges exist, the link checkbox will clear, and the named ranges
will appear in a Source list box in response to ticking the checkbox.
