In Excel, when I go to Insert/Text/Object/Create from File/Display as icon then Browse and find the file I am wanting to embed.
Then go to Change icon and ensure that my Caption box is the exact name of the file I am wanting to embed, then click OK.
It successfully embeds the file and shows the 'Caption' name I have input. HOWEVER, when I then go to OPEN that embedded file, the name of my embedded file only shows up as the name of the file I have embedded it INTO.
Is there NOT a way to have my embedded file name to remain the same as I have already labeled it as when creating the Caption?
I am so frustrated.

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
