Inserting Excel Data in a Word 2007 Document

At some point or other, you'll want to insert data from Excel into your Word document. It could be for a business report or a school paper.

Inserting Excel data in a Word 2007 document is easy enough. But, before you insert the data into your document, you should understand the differences between linking and embedding.

Embedding Excel data in a Word document is much the same as a simple paste operation. The Excel data becomes a part of the Word document; there is nothing tying the Excel data to the original file.

Linking is rather different, although the finished document will appear the same. Linked data is tied to the original Excel file. Any changes to the data in Excel will be reflected in Word.

Linking can be extremely helpful when you're collaborating. But, it can cause unforeseen problems. For example, you could end up with incorrect data.
