Copying and pasting from Excel
Hi All
I am currently working with two documents - Excel and word - My excel data is continuosly updating and as such I have complied a load of charts from the data - As this updates so to does the charts in Excel. I have copied these and pasted to a word document but they do not update? When I paste I have five paste options. 1 - Use destination Theme and Embed Workbook (H) 2 - Keep Source formatting and Embed Workbook (K) 3 - Use destination Theme and Link Data (L) 4 - Keep Source formatting and Link Data (F) 5 - Picture (U) Which Do I choose as none of these seem to update the charts? Thanks |

Hi Lorna,
Did you check the 'Link to file' button? Also, if the Excel file isn't open, the charts in Word can only update when you open the document or specifically do something to cause the data to refresh. You should also check that you've activated Word's 'update automatic links at open' option (see under File|Options> Advanced > General).
