I was hoping someone can help me with a complicated issue.
I have a word document (2010) which is a 2 page cover sheets I need to send to over 50 people. The cover sheet will have to have each of the 50 places names on as well as their fax number.
I have this info in an excel spreadsheet in 2 columns.
I managed to link the cells I needed in word from excel, but here is my issue.
Is there a way of making it so I can press a button and it will update the word documents linked cells down to the next cell in the original excel spreadsheet.
IE word links cells A1 and A2, then press a button in word/or excel and it then links B1 and B2.
I currently have to either copy and paste all 50 names and then all 50 fax numbers in my hand, or I drag the excel cells from row B to replace row A and then update the link in word so it shows up. But this is a painful process.

Is there any possible solution to my woes?

Hi X82,

If the cells in Excel book are linked with Word, the changes you do in Excel, will appear in Word.

Maybe someone could help a bit more if you show sample of what
you have in Word doc and Excel book and what you need to do, and the desired result in Word document?

Regards
