• Excel to dial the Phone

    We use Office xp and use XP SP3 as an operating system. Here is my fact pattern…

    I have an end user that has inherited an Excel sheet with customer contact information [name, address, telephone number, etc.]. The end user has asked me if it is possible to place a “Dial…” icon in EXCEL—the same one that is available in Outlook when accessing a personal address book–to be available for this work sheet. Of course, when the user presses the dial icon, they would like Excel to dial the phone number in the high lighted cell—just like it does when a number is in the dialog box in Outlook.

    I thought about importing the worksheet into Outlook to create a personal address book—but the end user does not want this solution…She would like to “dial” the number in the high lighted cell directly from the EXCEL work sheet. I have no idea whether what I ask is even possible–so your patience is appreciated—but is there a way I can “re-create or copy” the Outlook “Dial….” button to the Excel worksheet for the end user?

    Thank you for your consideration and all suggestions / alternatives are welcome…
