Default Linking an Excel 2003 document copied to a Word 2003 document

Thanks, Challa. That was a very comprehensive response. I have printed your
instructions out and will now open an Excel and a Word document and apply
your instructions repeatedly until I master the process.

Again, thank you very much.

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.
