Hey people,
I'm attempting to embed an Acrobat PDF in an Excel spread sheet and have run up against a brick wall...which is rather unfortunate. I was wondering if any of you vastly intelligent people (crossing my fingers that flattery will induce someone to reply) would have a clue of what to do. I know that I type something along the lines of '=EMBED"Acrobat Document"', but then I'm lost... Please help...Damsel in Distress!!!

MS Office does not recognize PDF format for embedding, but one can attach any MS Office document to a PDF.

Hey all,
I've answered my own question *sheepish shrug*
Under the Insert menu (in Excel) click on 'Object', a new window appears and the user has several options - one of which is to browse your files and pull up said PDF file to embed. REMEMBER to tick the box 'Display as icon'!!!
Anyways, thank-you gkaiseril and should I have any more questions, I plan to phrase them with humourous forethought - after all, we all need a laugh every now and then!!!
