>>Actually, my opinion is that this project is probably best approached from
a Microsoft-product standpoint. Using Word is probably the best option but
would require someone at an expert level with all products concerned.
Where it might get tricky is if the spreadsheets exceeded a single page. I
haven't mucked around with that aspect of things because I don't normally
embed Excel objects into Word.<<
I have, but I won't anymore. Even after just a few charts, Word becomes
unacceptably unstable. Far better to edit the charts in Excel and then
import them as images into Word (or Frame or whatever).
IMHO, trying to embed up to 1500 Excel objects in a single Word document is
an absolute fantasy. There's got to be a better way to accomplish what this
guy's after. I was thinking web-based collaboration for the editing process
of the Excel data, followed by importing the charts as images into a final
document. Having said that, though, I also don't want to think of a single
Word document with 400 images in it, let alone 1500...
