I would like to attach a pdf (or word) file inside an Excel sheet so that it is seen as a pdf icon or word icon when viewing the sheet. Any of you who knows if this is possible and how to do it?

Our client uses an Excel spreadsheet that we provide to adjudicate/comment on our delivered products (primarily documents and reports). The spreadsheet has columns for:
DefectCode, SectionPage, Comment, FinalDisposition, FinalComment.
At the end of the process of client meetings and revisions, we must generate an MS Word-formatted report. I've written a macro to parse the comments and columns and generate a mostly-formatted Word document. What's missing are the corporate headers, footers, logos -- the standard template or basic document stuff that all of the details would fill in. For now, I auto-gen a Word document and merge it by hand into the corporate template.
So my question is: if I want to "include" a corporate Word template with the spreadsheet, can I bundle it with the workbook somehow or must it always remain a separate file?
My current thinking is that since a *.xlsm file is really a ZIP file underneath, could I store the Word template there where it would effectively be hidden from the user? Or what is the best way to bundle an extra file like this with my workbook app?
I have an excel database where I register cases. I have in it a button that creates a folder with and ID nr that is in column A (I create new ID nr in the next row, when I press the button it will create a folder with that ID nr and inserts a blank word document in it). We have a template that we copy to the folder (depending what type of case). The idea would be that once the template is filled in and ready to print, It would take the values from the ID nr and a reference number a few cells to the right. Is it possible to tell excel to open the word document in the folder and create a PDF version with the ID nr and reference number. (there are only 2 templates, so the macro would have to look for one of the two in the folder)
The name of the templates are: "Standard" and "Other".
I guess the best way to start maybe this would be that I select the cell with the ID nr and then press a macro button to have this done.
One thing that needs to be done, is to put a copy in the same folder and another in a second folder called "Binder" in my documents folder.
I am using a macro to e-mail any work sheet with an address in A1. I would also like to attach a file that will be listed in cell E1 of that worksheet. The file is different for each work sheet that is being sent but will be listed in the same cell of each work sheet.
This is the code I am using (i got it from ron de bruin) when I use the .Attachments.Add (C:est1.txt) it works but i can not seem to figure out how to get it to read the file address in the E1 cell. The code i am trying to use is .Attachments.Add = ws.Range("E1").value.

I have an Excel file that has a persons name in column A, company name in column B, email address in column C and a hyperlink to a specific file to be sent with the email in column D.

I have developed a product that's a bunch of Excel spreadsheets strung together. Real estate and mortgage professionals use the tools to counsel home buyers. We include a pdf converter in case recipients of emailed file attachments don't have Excel.
We provide an 'Export' procedure that calls a custom dll that uses the outgoing mail server that the user [must] setup or our web's mail server as a default. The action attaches the Excel or the PDF file and sends in the background. We use an Excel form for user to write the message and the process saves a copy of the message sent and the file send in an Archives folder.
This procedure is not very user friendly, as it does not offer the user's address book to select a recipient, does not put the message in the user's email client Sent folder...Plus the Archives folder could become quite large...plus it involves a user setup that creates alot of support calls.
But actually the most critical shortcoming has become that ISPs (Comcast and ATT so far) are blocking the use of custom email clients!
Recently my son showed me in QuickBooks their attach file-to-email process. It simply opens the user's default email client with the file attached. I need an app that does that! And it needs to be distributable.
I am trying to create a script for a manually morning process that I need to complete that entials downloading a number of .PDF files and sending them out to a distribution list. I am unable to automate that actual saving of the files onto the network drive, but I believe I can automate the process of attaching them to the email. I have run across some problems so far though, this is what I have been able to come up with. After doing a bit of research it seems as though using cmd would be the best way to locate and attach the file but I am still unable to get it to run properly:
Code:
Sub AttachMultiple()
With CreateObject("Outlook.Application").CreateItem(0)
.To = "test@gmail.com"
.Subject = "Test"
.Attachments.Add Split(CreateObject("wscript.shell").exec("cmd /c Dir 'G:Client ReportingMGIDaily
ReportsAGFAJune 2013*.pdf' /b /o-d").stdout.readall, vbCrLf)(0)
.Send
End With
End Sub
Here is an example of a folder I will be trying to pull the most recent saved PDF from, there are about 10 similar folders:
I feel like I am relatively close to completely this, my cmd syntax may just be a little off.
I have written a macro but unable to make it work. The macro works but not the way I would like it to.
The macro has to save an excel sheet to a separate folder as a pdf format, a message box should pop up confirming the pdf file and then attach the same saved pdf file to an email.
Now the macro saves the pdf file where I need it to be saved, the msg box pop up and then the pdf file opens up on top of the msg box. If I close the pdf file the msg box which was hidden under the file is now shown. When I click "OK" it goes straight to outlook with the email addresses attached but the saved pdf file is not attached.
I've attached the script.

I have a workbook with a large number of worksheets in it. I intend putting the workbook onto a shared network drive so that a number of users can go into their individual named sheet - check some data and confirm that they have checked it.
My initial idea is to attach a command button to each individual sheet so that each user can click on the button to confirm that they have checked their data. What I would like to do is hide a worksheet within the workbook and when each user has checked their data - their button click will insert a tick in the relevant cell of the hidden worksheet e.g.
When User 1 clicks command button on User 1 sheet it will insert a tick in cell B2 of the hidden sheet
When User 2 clicks command button on User 2 sheet it will insert a tick in cell B3 of the hidden sheet

I'm trying to automate a redundant task. I have several Word files in one central folder. I need to open each file, remove all paragraph marks (via find/replace all), copy the result, and paste it into an Excel sheet. This process will be repeated for each file in the folder.
The code I have is almost there, however, I can't get it to do the find/replace. Below is an extract of my code for the Word application part. The code for the copy and paste will be inserted after the replace action works:
Dim Wapp As Object
Dim i As Integer
WorksheetsLocation = TextBox1.Value ' this is the folder location brought in from an input box
On Error Resume Next
Set wApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If Err.Number 0 Then 'Word isn't already running
Set wApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
End If

I have an Excel sheet with a long list of data. A short example is shown below:
Section | Title | Item
1 | INTRODUCTION | a
1.1 | title2 | b
1.2 | title3 | c
1.2.1 | title4 | d
1.2.2 | title5 | e
I made a VBA macro in Excel that runs through this list and creates a new Word file for each item. The filename of the document is based on the data in the Excel file (section and title). Now I would like to add a custom property to each of the newly created Word files, i.e. the value in the 'item' column. Does anyone of you know how I should do this? Or should it be better if I write a macro in Word that runs through the Excel data to create the word files? Here is the code I use to generate the word files:
