How to embed an excel document into a visio process flow map

[buymoresalt]

I am trying to place an icon that will open an Excel document. I want to place it below the actual process step on my drawing. Everytime I try, it just pastes the entire spreadsheet and then i can minimize. It still doesn't solve the issue as I want it to open in Excel (or whatever I want to attach).

Please help.....there is no info online.

thanks for reading

1. Find a suitable icon to use, save this as a GIF or PNG or similar.

2. Insert it into your diagram using Insert -> Image and resize and locate the image to suit.

3. With this image selected, menu Insert -> Hyperlink
and browse to your spreadsheet.
