I do the same thing with pressure vessel calculations, but I use the
print merge function to fill out each calculation sheet with the
numbers from Excel. You can see how the print merge function works
from the MS Word help. The calculation sheet form is saved with
explanatory text and algebraic expressions with with placeholders for
the Excel data. When you're finished with the Excel calculations, you
write off the data into a text file and use the print merge menu pick
to fill out the sheet.
It makes for very neat calculations that have all the advantages of
automated calculations and all the advantages for appearance and
checking with manual calculation. And it's fast.
