Thanks James:

I usually work this thing backwards. The finance guys around here that do
cost estimates always work in Excel, but they deliver their estimates in Word
docs.

They claim the linking thing saves them lots of time and trouble.

Gs We can cheat! Open both a Word doc and an Excel Workbook

Gs If you click outside the object, it changes appearance. It

Gs Now go to the Work book, select a cell and:

Edit PasteSpecial Paste Link

Gs Link updates work because we have really linked two
Gs worksheets (even though one of them is embedded)
