Inserting photos as a link

Hi,

I am new to Excel and trying to insert photos as a link in the
spreadsheet - so when I select it, they pop up in a new window.

I've used the hyperlink insert, but the link keeps referring to a local
image address - as in localuser/host/sam/etc. So, I can't share the
document with other workers on different computers.

I am using a Mac - please help, we are working on Katrina relief
efforts and have hit this minor technical wall.

Thanks!

You might want to condsider inserting the Images in to Comment Boxes of cells
which contain the names of the images...... which will pop-up as each cell is
moused-over.............

I am trying this (seemed like the perfect solution) but can't get excel
to allow me to paste an image into the comments - it copies only the
files name, and won't allow a "paste special" - any suggestions?

Select a cell and Right-click > InsertComment, then back-space to remove the
existing text, if any.........then move the cursor over the border of the
comment box until the cursor changes shape, left-click > select the arrow
next to the Fill Icon on the Drawing Toolbar > FillEffects > PictureTab >
SelectPicture, etc etc.
Post back if you have trouble..........
