Can't get much more specific than...........copy the range to Word and "Link to
Excel" when you paste but you may have trouble if you don't have the Show Paste
Options Button appear.

Make sure in Word you have ToolsOptionsEdit "Show Paste Options Button"
checkmarked.

After pasting click on that button and select one of the two "Link to Excel"
options.
