Linking Word to Excel worksheet

[Guest]

I have a Word document and have linked to it an Excel worksheet. I have
asked for the link to be automatically updated, however, when I make the
changes in Excel, they are not cascaded through to Word unless I click onto
Edit and Update Link.

I have used this facility in Office XP several times and this is the first
time I've used in 2003 so am unsure where I'm going wrong.

can anybody help?

Thank you.

I imagine what you're seeing is what's described in this article:
