Hyperlink to Another Document in Microsoft Excel 2007

One of the greatest features in the Microsoft Office Suite of products is the ability to reference and link to any other document or file on your computer or network. I will run through a quick tutorial on how to link to another document from within Microsoft Excel.

To start, open your document. Select the cell to which you would like to hyperlink.

Then, click on the Insert tab followed by the "Hyperlink" button. You will see the following screen.

If there was text in the cell that you selected to hyperlink, then it will appear in the "Text to display" box. Otherwise, you can specify what you would like the hyperlink to say by adding text to the "Text to display" box. (eg., Click here to see the file)

Next, select the file that you would like to be hyperlinked. This can be done by browsing through the mini-Explorer window beneath the "Text to display" box. Once you select the file to which you would like to link, click the "Ok" button.

You should now be presented with a new blue link in the original cell you selected. If you hover over the selected cell you can see to where the cell is now linked. To go to the location, hold the Ctrl key and click on the link.

That's it! You have successfully created a hyperlink to a document in an Excel document.

Job Search Logs May Help Your Job Search Be More Successful

When job searching, sometimes it is easy to lose track of all the places to which you sent a resume, as well as pertinent information, such as when you interviewed and to whom you spoke. Following up with contacts can be key to a successful job search.

To help you organize all your job search information, Microsoft has made available a Job Search Log template. This template allows you to easily reference many aspects of your job search, such as the date you submitted your resume, the status of your application, and even notes to yourself about that particular job.

To access this template:

• Open Microsoft Excel 2007.


• Click the Microsoft Office Button.


• Click "New", and type "job search log" in the search box.


• Double-click on the image to view the log.

You can also access this template as well as other job search log templates by going to Microsoft's website and typing in "Job Search Log" in the search box. If none of these templates quite suit your needs, you can always use Microsoft Excel 2007 spread sheets to create a customized job search log.
