Hi sph,

In theory, you should be able to do this by copying the cell, then using Paste Special with the 'Paste Link' option. In practice, it seems the links often don't work properly (at least, not in previous Word versions). Your purpose might be better served by having an external Excel workbook and linking the relevant cells from that to both locations in your Word document - this does work reliably.
