This is a work computer so I'm getting our IT guy to make the fix. Hopefully this works. I also discovered I can't use paste "picture" or "bit map" because it won't track changes to the table.

The issue with table formats not carrying over from Excel to Word when using "link with source formatting" seems to be with numbers only. Words in table cells seem to maintain their format in Word, whereas any numbers in cells automatically creates a larger row height in Word (maybe it's wrapping) and the use of dollar signs that are flush left in Excel always wraps into a second line in Word.
