link problems

P

Using Word 2000 (9.0.3821 SR-1) on Windows XP Pro.

It goes like so: I have a large number of tables produced in Excel.
Eventually I would like to have about 400 of them, but the problem
shows up with a few. They are in a few different Excel workbooks.
(Two right now, possibly three later.)

I want to have a link to the Excel tables from Word so that when the
Excel tables are updated the tables in the Word doc are also updated.
But I want the formatting in the Word document to be slightly
different.
In particular, I want the columns to be different widths.

So far, every combination I've tried has either insisted on reverting
to
the Excel formatting if I save, close, and re-open the Word doc,
or won't update the contents in the Word doc when I change the
Excel doc.

Any help? I'd switch to a later version of Word (which seems to do
what I want, having tried it on my own personal machine) but the
client insists on this version of Word on this version of Windows.
