Manipulating embeded exccel in word (Repost)
JD,
If you've really embedded the workbook, then any changes to a sheet should
be reflected in sheets with dependent formulas. This includes charts.
However, if you've embedded each sheet (worksheet or chart sheet)
separately, they don't know about each other. You should embed once. That
really embeds the entire workbook. Now when you edit a sheet, the chart
sheets should update. You must switch between the sheet and the chart
sheets in the one object. If you're using Insert - Object in Word, do this
once, then while in edit mode for that embedded workbook, add your charts.
If you're using Paste - Special, copying from Excel, then do this once also.
Same deal.
Now if you want the sheet and the charts to appear in separate places in the
Word document, it will require linking (not just embedding) to a common
document. Post back.

Hi there,
I have seen quite a few posts on this and know it is "easily"
accomplished, however I have a bit of a different requirement.
I have a Word document that I have embedded the following:
- 1 Sheet that holds score data that users can edit within word
- 6 Graphs (from the same workbook) that report the data in different
ways.
What I want to happen is that when the data in the embedded worksheet
is edited, then all the other graphs update to reflect the edited data
or scores.
Any ideas ? I have one, which is to cycle through each embedded chart
and copy the data scores from the embedded sheet to the relevant sheet
that the chart is linked to - but is there another way ?
Also as an aside - Is there a way to rename the objects ? Rather than
the arbitarily named 'ActiveDocument.Shapes("Object 3").Select' This
is a problem if you ever have to delete an then add embedded objects
Thanks in advance
Jason
