becomes:
{LINK Excel.Sheet.8 "C:\\Users\\UserName\\Documents\\Workbook.xls" "Sheet1!Table"}
Now, whenever the range spanned by the name changes in Excel, the link in Word will update to reflect the change.
Hi Macro,

Thanks so much for this. It wasn't a working solution unfortunately, but it did lead me to search for new terms which found me the right solution.

For tables: you need to define a name & for pivots you need to define an indirect name to an expanding formula (e.g ="A2"&COUNTA(D))

thanks so much for your help with this
