    Lock an embedded Word doc in Excel

    Hi,
    I am trying to lock an embedded word document in Excel. I am not using the whole document itself, just the icon and title of the document. The document would be able to be opened if need be by clicking on it. I can get everything to work except I can't keep the icon from being moved.

    How can I lock just that icon down either in a cell or a group of cells so it will not move when the excel sheet is being reviewed by other people?

    Thanks,
    ~Denny
