How to Link an Excel Spreadsheet to a Word Document
When you want to link a Microsoft Office Excel Spreadsheet to your Microsoft Office Word document, you must insert the content of your Excel Spreadsheet as an object. This is different from copying and pasting the content (such as CTRL+C and then CTRL+V). Inserting the content into the Word document as an Excel object will allow Microsoft Office Word to run Excel as an Excel program when you double-click the cells, as well as use Excel commands.
