I maintain an Excel file of my DVD titles with genre. I haven't updated this file in a while. I recall updating the file in an MS Word document with changes I had recently made, but I forget how I did that. As I recall, a popup asked me if I wanted to update the Word file with the new Excel data. After updating the Excel file, how, then, do I automatically update the Word document?

If you can't remember, how could we possibly know? We don't know anything about your workbook or your document or how the two are related.

You really haven't providing anything meaningful about your process we could work with. For example, how did you link the two files (e.g. via an OLE link using a LINK field, a macro, a mailmerge, something else)? As Graham said, if you can't recall, all we might all end up doing is wasting time guessing.
