This is great but how do you get the link to go to a specific place in the target word doc? E.g. Open MyDoc at page 3 or Heading 5 or Bookmark X?

We usually anchor a place by headings or bookmarks in a Word document.
If you anchor the specific place by a bookmark:
(1) You need to add a bookmark at the specified place in your Word document firstly;
(2) Then select the specified cell in Excel, enable the Insert Hyperlink dialog.
(3) In the Insert Hyperlink dialog, select the Word document, then add #bookmark_name at the end of the document link as the attached image shown.

This is great but how do you get the link to go to a specific place in the target presentation? Your idea seems to work in document only not in presentation. I tried adding sections but it doesn't work.

Hi Shivanshu Verma,
Sorry that the method is only suitable for word documents. If you have any questions when you use Excel, Word or Outlook, you can post them in our forum :)
