Tim, your instructions to "Just save the Word and the Excel documents then
open and edit the Excel " made it work. Originally, after doing the Paste
Special to the Word document, I did not close the two documents and then
re-open and edit the Excel document. Thanks a million.

You dont even need to double click in the word document.
Just save the Word and the Excel documents then open and edit the excel
documentclose and save itopen the word documentWhen a message box pops up
asking you €œThis document contains links that may refer to other files. Do
you want to update the links€� click yes and thats it.

Thank you, Tim.

I double-clicked in the Word document, which took me back to my Excel source
document. I changed the contents of one cell in the source document and then
went back to the Word document. The change did not take effect. What could be
the problem?

It is possible.
Open and make changes in your Excel source document by double clicking in
the word document.

Hi, Everyone.

I have Office 2003. I copied an Excel 2003 document using the button on the
Standard toolbar, and then I opened a Word document and clicked on Paste
Special Paste Link Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet object OK. The
Excel worksheet was successfully transferred, but when I made a change in a
cell of the Excel source document, that change was not reflected in the
corresponding cell in the Excel copy in the Word document. Is it possible to
make a change in the source document and have it reflected in the destination
document? If so, how?

Thank you very much.
