Hyperlink to Word Bookmark

Is it possible to create a hyperlink from a cell in excel to a specific bookmark in a multipage word file? If so how do I do this?

Yes you can create a hyperlink to Word. Not sure about a specific page though.

In a cell, enter a name and save the workbook. click on the cell and click Insert Hyperlink, it's the one with the icon of the "world". Type in the path to the Word document. The name in the cell should be blue and underlined.

I've been able to link to the Word document but I want to be able to link to a specific section of the document. Does anyone know if this is possible?

yes this is possible, use the HYPERLINK formula, example:

=HYPERLINK("C:My DocumentsTheFile.doc #TheBookMark")
