Hi, wondering if someone can advise.

I am using Excel 2002 on Windows XP.

I have set up a worksheet as a calendar, and each cell shows the main menu course for that day. ie in basic terms, all the 'Friday' cells would comprise the word 'fish.' I would like to be able to link/attach/embed or otherwise connect each cell with a word document including recipe. I have used the >insert>object>Word>existing>browse option but the Word document then shows up on the actual worksheet obscuring everything else. I have tried using the Icon option but that's no good either. I tried using 'insert notes' but that isn't suitable. Is there a way of connecting each cell to a separate Word document but without the Word document coming up on screen along with the worksheet? ie like the little red triangle in the corner of the cell when I use 'notes.'
Thank you in advance for any advice.
