I have an Excel workbook and an MS Word document that contain email correspondence content.
The Word document contains information that is present in 3 basic lines as follows:
The first line contains an expression that includes a link code, a sent date, and a received time. This will be apparent as seen in an Xl2bb Mini Sheet and an image taken from the Word document.
The second line contains the Subject line that is relevant to a specific email message. Again, this will be apparent as seen in an Xl2bb Mini Sheet and an image taken from the Word document.
The third line is simply the message text that comes from the body area of specific email messages. This will be apparent as seen in an image of example typical locations in the Word document.

What I would like to accomplish in the Word document is to have in the first line location a link or formula that looks at the Word numbering to the left of the first line and get the relevant data from the Excel workbook per that numbering.
In addition, I would also like to get the Subject line inserted in the second line location that is also relevant to the numbering that matches the Doc # as seen in the Xl2bb Mini Sheet.
I suspect this is somewhat confusing but hopefully when the Xl2bb Mini Sheet and the Word document images are seen then it becomes clear what I am wanting.
I should note here that I suspect this can’t be done, but I wouldn’t know unless I ask. Using tables in the Word document is not what I want for a solution; thus why I think this is not possible but then there are many things about Excel and Word I am unfamiliar with regarding this endeavor.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
I have decided to not continue with this question and instead not use MS Word in conjunction with the excel file but rather have all content reside in the excel file.
Thus this thread is no longer needing an answer.

I would like to delete this post as I did not notice the name of the Excel workbook which is the name of a person I do not want the MrExcel community to be privy to.
I have posted a new thread "Data mining from 2 sheets into one sheet in chronological order" in which I did notice the worksheet name and altered it to reflect a generic name, so please delete this "Link Data From Excel to Word Without Using Tables' post.
