    - Problems with trendline equations I have several worksheets of data. I am plotting/trending the data on separate worksheets, and calculating the equations of exponential trendlines. I have as many as six trendlines per graph. As I add more worksheets of data and make more graphs, the graphs that I previously made become cluttered with several trendline equations. When I delete the extra trendline equations from a given graph, Excel shuts down. I am using Microsoft Office XP Standard for students and teachers version 2002. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. I mistakenly posted this question on the Office discussion groups earlier, I'm not intentionally multi-posting!

    - Can I use conditional formatting to scale a display value? I have a value in a cell, I would like to display the value directly with a text modifier if it is above a certain threshold or display a scaled value with a different text modifier if it is below a threshold. I use the value in a different calculation so I don't want to change the value of the cell, only the way it displays. Examples: If the value is time: .5 should read as "4 hours" while 2 should read as "2 days" If it was money: .5 should read as "50 cents" while 2 should read as "2 dollars" Thanks.

    - How to send Excel selection using Live Mail I have been using Outlook Express until this month, and have been sending information from a selected range in an Excel worksheet to a number of people every month. I don't want to send the entire (large) worksheet as an attachment, but my "Mail Recipient" function has apparently been disabled since installing Windows Live Mail. The only "mail" option I see remaining is to mail the entire document as an attachment, which really isn't an option. Since I send this information out to about 50 recipients each month, and each recipient has different data, it's been tedious enough already. But now, I'm looking for a way to send the data using Windows Live Mail without having to cut and paste all afternoon. If there is a way to efficiently do this using a Macro, that would be even better... Thanks, Tag: How to attach a file to an excel sheet? Tag: 783593

    - Excel slow to save to network drive I am trying to troubleshoot a machine that is running XP Pro and Office 2003. It is extremely slow to save files to a network drive with Excel. Word is somewhat slow, but Excel is really bad. For example, it takes almost 60 seconds to save a 175K Excel file. The server is in the same building. I took a laptop down and plugged into the same ethernet hub and opened and saved the same file. It took only 3-4 seconds. The network in that office is somewhat slow, but still, there must be a problem with the machine taking 60 seconds to save. The problem doesn't seem to occur with local files.

What a simple answer :D

Finally I found solution:
Put cursor at the cell you want to insert file, men
Insert/objects/create from file/Browse/(select a file) then/ check th
box "display as icon" so that it will show as an icon instead whol
content.
Then if you want to open that attached file, just double click on tha
icon. :
