Looking up and create driving directions

[JackR]

Is there a smart tag or a another way that if I put in two addresses in two
different cells, that will look on the web (i.e. windows live maps, google
maps etc) and pop up a map with driving directions?

I hope this is clear, I need this to work on each row where I enter the two
addresses (into two different cells) any Ideas or suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I would use a hyperlink. Choose Insert, Hyperlink and navigate to the web
page you want. Shortcut key Ctrl+K or the Hyperlink toolbar button.

I realize that would work, the thought process is that excel would look at
the addresses entered, and then go to the web and get directions. I thought
at one time there was a Smart Tag that would do that, I know there are smart
tags for Stock symbols etc, is there one for Maps?
