I am still trying to link an excel table to word doc. I have tried to paste
as a "link" and "embedded" yet the table in Word will not update as Excel
changes. Can I use "field link"? I have tried the Word help and found {
LINK ClassName "FileName" [PlaceReference ] [Switches ] } What would the
class name be? The example shows 2 arrays for [PlaceReference].

How are you establishing the link?

I have ried with all format available under Edit > Paste Special... > Paste
link:
and they all update whenever I make changes to my Excel table (Even
Unformatted text or Bitmap).
Word help and found { LINK ClassName "FileName" [PlaceReference ]
[Switches ] } What would the class name be? The example shows 2
arrays for [PlaceReference].


E.g:
LINK
ClassName : Excel.Sheet.8
"FileName" : "Book1"
[PlaceReference ] : "Sheet1!R1C1:R8C4"
[Switches ] : \a \p (a: automatic update p: object as picture)
or:
{LINK Excel.Sheet.8 "Book1" "Sheet1!R1C1:R8C4" \a \p}
