Hello! I'm searching for a way to "link" a cell of information into a
specific location into a MS word document. I was it was a simple as
using the "=" sign and referencing the information I need like you can
between two excel files. But I'm looking for a solution for
automatically pulling data from Excel into Word. Thanks, Scott

Check out mail merge from word and use your XL file as the data. This is
commonly used for creating labels and reports and such ... if you only have
1 cell you want to link, it ought to be easy. :)

Best of luck.
