Hi all,
ive got some instructions to type in excel for using a model which requires screenshots. Its going to be quite long so im looking for advice on how to present them. Can I embed a web page in an Excel document or are there does and donts for adding text and images from Word?

Many Thanks

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
I have recently done a worksheet that included text with some screen shots/pictures.

For simple things like this I tend to use the Text Box from the Drawing toolbar because this enables text blocks to be formatted/resized easily.

I've created a number of Office based applications.

I create all my manuals in Word with screenshots. In my opinion, that's the only way to go. Correct use of styles and liberal screenshots will give you everything you need and TOC and index are created on the fly and adjusted automatically as you update the manual.
