Hi Dave,

If these are the same Excel cells you're referencing each time, simply copying them once into Word with Edit|Paste Special and
checking the 'Link' option will set the links up permanently. Then all you'll need to do is to refresh them periodically, which is
as simple as opening the Word document.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for pointing me in that direction. As one who has always
worked with Excel, but rarely with Word, MailMerge just never occured
to me. All the same, I'm still not sure why those links didn't work
as expected.

Thanks again,

regards,

Dave
