		<description><![CDATA[Do you have control of the format of the word doc?

If you can design the word document to have the figure/data you want to always be in the same place (therefore the same cell in the imported data sheet), get it into excel and then link the 2 cells.

I update an excel sheet from a web page imported into the workbook, when it is opened, and select a currency figure from a cell in the imported page. this is done by entering an absolute sheet/cell ref in the target sheet. The sheet is automatically updated from the web when it is opened.

Some times it works, and sometimes it doesn&#039;t. I have no control over the imported content, so the figure I need is not always in the same cell each week. I still have to check it. It isn&#039;t more than 2 cells out either way.

You will have to change the links to reflect which week column it is entered into. My simple method doesn&#039;t do what you want, but it proves there is a way to import from a doc/web page, and automatically get data, providing it is in the same place each time.]]></description>
