batch linking word documents in excel sheet

[nelliboi]

Hi,
I have a excel file with a column that has thousand od items.
Each item must be linked to a word document with same name.
Is there a easy way do do it.
Now I am hyper linking each file one by one.
Please note that item name and file name are same, but item name doesn't have the extention .doc
Your help is highly appreciated.
Regards
Nelson
