Get Lookup fields with Exel Connector

Is it possible to get a lookup field with the excel connector?
I want to get the field (which should be the 18 digit ID for the table) with the Excel Connector.

Example:
I have a custom field on the account page that says "Reseller LookUp" and it is a lookup field that user can lookup to another account in our instance of Salesforce.
 
When I run the query to select every field in the account table in Excel using the Connector, it does not give me this "Reseller LookUp" field. 
 
Is it possible to get that field using the Connector?

Thanks!

You should be able to do that.  Have you searched the Online Excel Connector Guide?

I must be missing something, so please excuse me being so dense.  I see this marked as an accepted solution, however, I cannot find a relevant entry in the Table of Contents for the sforce connector.

 

Is there a specific solution to the issue of not being able to see/update lookup fields using the sforce connector?
