just another question if is possible

If I select "Confirm conversion at Open" from the Word Options and choosing again the source file excel it give me the possibility to select DDE.. In this way is possible to keep the same format of the Excel cells.. and it asks no format strings.. But everytime I open again the word file i have to select everytime the file Excel..
Is there a way to save the Word file including the Excel file inside?
thanks a lot
bye
