Creating Merged cells via a sparate linked document

[delmarine]

I have a document that I list time blocks for separate locations during a specific timeline. I would like to link those time blocks to a different document that has a timeline across the top and the rows beneath will populate the time blocks automatically. I have multiple users submitting time blocks and if I could have them input one sheet with their requested times, and have their block display on one master sheet that would speed up my process.

Maybe some more information will help. In a separate document I want column "A" to have the names of places I'm going, say Grocery Store, then in column "B" I want a time range, say 1200-1400. Then I want that time range to link to another document that has 0900-0000 timeline across the top with five minute increments, so the columns would be .67 in width and each cell would be five minutes. Now with that information I want that 1200-1400 range to become a merged cell under the timeline. Is this possible?
