Requesting Assistance with Embedding Word documents into xcel File

M

Mkate

Hello,

I am having a problem with some embedded Word files placed in an Excel File
in Office 2007. I have an Excel file (Office 2003 .XLS format) from my
customer. I am responding to their request for information. I want to embed
several Word files in the spreadsheet when I return it. I have done this all
the time in Office 2003 without a problem. I am Inserting and Object/Display
as an Icon/Create from a File/Browse to my file and select.

I am on a new Vista PC and when I embed the Word files in the Excel file and
send it off to another team member who is still on XP they cannot open the
embedded files. The file is an Excel.xls and it is saved with the
Compatibility Mode option. All of the embedded documents are Word.doc format
with Compatibility Mode selected.

Has anyone had a similiar experience that could share the "secret" of
opening these embedded files.

Thank you for all guidance you can share. Have a nice day.
