Have you ever needed to insert an Excel worksheet into a Word document and link them together so that when you update the master Excel worksheet, the values in the Word document are automatically updated as well?
How to Embed an Excel File in Word
Well, there are actually a couple of ways to insert an Excel spreadsheet into Word: linking, embedding, and creating a new one. Whether you embed or link, the inserted Excel spreadsheet will not automatically update unless you specifically create the link between the two files.
Once the data is linked, it will be updated as soon as changes are detected in the original Excel spreadsheet.
In addition to inserting an existing Excel spreadsheet, you can also insert a new Excel object into Word. This will run Excel within Word itself.
