Create and save the table in excel. In word, place your insertion point
where you want the excel table to go and then choose insert, object from the
menu bar or ribbon. This will open a dialog box - choose create from file
and then browse to select the appropriate file. Check link to file and click
okay. Your excel table should now be displayed in your word document and
will update as excel does, or each time you open the word doc. Be aware that
if you link files and need to transport or transmit the file containing
links, make sure to include the link source file as well.

Can't get much more specific than...........copy the range to Word and "Link to
Excel" when you paste but you may have trouble if you don't have the Show Paste
Options Button appear.

Make sure in Word you have ToolsOptionsEdit "Show Paste Options Button"
checkmarked.

After pasting click on that button and select one of the two "Link to Excel"
options.
