Is it possible to link an Excel spreadsheet to a word document and be able
to
perform calculations within the word document?

Depends what you mean by "perform calculations within the word document".
One thing you *can* do is copy an Excel range (inc formulas), then (in Word)
Edit -- Paste Special (Excel Worksheet Object, Paste Link checked).
Subsequent changes in the Excel range will then update in the doc
automatically (tho' you may get issues with some of the formatting).

Post more info if this doesn't cover it.

HTH,
