Hi elemental,

If you type something into your Word document, then copy it and choose 'paste link' in Excel, Word will create an OLE_LINK bookmark spanning that range, and the data between the document and workbook will be linked. If you edit the bookmarked range in Word (without deleting the bookmark), the Excel workbook's contents will update to reflect the change. The bookmarked range can include a table, in which case, the whole table will be linked and you can edit the individual cells.
