How to insert a .jpg file into an Excel Spreadsheet

Hmm....I'm wondering of the lack of replies since my original post two days ago means that the task I'm trying to accomplish can't be done. Or, maybe I'm simply not wording my question the right way. Using an Excel spreadsheet, I have a single row of data for each object I'm listing. Each row has several cells. I would like to be able to insert a photo ID file (.jpg) into a cell on each row. I thought I would just be able to copy and paste the .jpg file into a cell, allowing me to open it when needed. But, when I put the file into the cell, the actual picture is displayed, or opened - and, the display is large enough that nearby cells are partially obscured. I was hoping that I could insert the .jpg file into the cell with the .jpg file info (text only) displayed, not the photo itself. Is this the appropriate community to be asking this question? Thanks in advance for all responses.
