Hi,

I need to send a file to various people using e-mail that contains Excel
data. To avoid having to send my Exel file with the Word file, I was advised
that the best way to do this was to Insert, Object, Excel object from file,
WITHOUT a link, display as icon. I then double-click to open the object,
copy, paste special WITH a link to varioius parts of my Word file to show
various parts of the embedded Excel file.

It works fine for awhile - I can double-click the Excel object icon, make
changes and they reflect in the Word file. However, as soon as I close the
Excel object worksheet, the link seems to disappear - no changes are made to
the Word file and if I try to update links, I get a message that the linked
object can not be found.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
