hi,
How do you activate a macro so that is from an excel workbook/sheet, it will jump to a Word document?
Any ideas and help would be great.

Thanks
Amit

Replace path_to_file and filename to match your file.

Sub openWordDoc()
Dim app As Object
Set app = CreateObject("Word.Application")
app.Visible = True
app.Documents.Open Filename:="C:\path_to_file\filename.doc"
End Sub

Or you could just insert the icon for the document and link it to to file. Double-Click the icon and the doc should open.

In either case, moving the Word document to another folder could cause a problem.

Thank you very much, you've help a so much.
