I'm copying some cells (3 sets actually) from Excel2002
and pasting them into Word2002. Works fine. I make sure
they are linked using the paste option button back to the
original Excel book. That also seems to work fine. These
Excel cells have formulas in them that I created. When I
change a number in the Excel book I just want it to
change in the Word doc as well. It does change in Word,
but then it also makes another copy of the pasted cells
that changed. I end up with 6 copied set of cells instead
of 3. And it keeps adding 3 more for every change. Anyone
know a fix for this? There's probably a better way to do
what I'm trying to do, and I'd take that as well.

Thanx!
 
The Excel object should not be duplicated each time you update. Can
you provide the exact steps you used to paste the Excel data? Please
include the format you selected in the Paste Special options.

Also, do you have tracked changes in the Word document? Take a look at
your status bar and see if "TRK" is in bold.
