Hi. I have a report in MS Word that gets updated on a regular basis. The
values in the document are obtained from an Excel spreadsheet. I would like
to link the values quoted in the text to values in the spreadsheet, so that
when these values are updated, the values in the word document can be updated
also. Any ideas on how I could do this? I am doing it manually and I am sure
there is a quicker way... Thanks.

Copy the relevant part of the Excel sheet - edit > paste special > as a link
into Word. The format of the insertion depends on how you want the link to
appear. While both the document and the sheet are open, any change made in
the sheet will be immediately reflected in the document. Otherwise you need
to update the fields in the document to reflect any changed data.
