Default Importing information from excel to word

Depending on exactly what you need, you may not need a macro. Try...
a. in Excel, open the workbook, select the cell, then Edit|Copy
b. in Word, Edit|Paste Special and select "Paste Link". Then select one of
the options such as Plain text.

A { LINK } field is inserted into the Word document. The result of the LINK
field should be the value in the cell. If you modify the cell content, then
update the LINK field (e.g. by selecting it and pressing F9) the field
result should be updated. You should be able to put such a field most places
in a Word document (although there may be exceptions).

Can anyone help me with a Macro, I have no experience in VBA at all.
I need a macro that will take a numerical value from a cell in excel
and put the vaule where ever I want it in word. Thanks for your help- Hide quoted text -

Thanks for your reply, but I dont want to do it that way because I
dont want the values to change everytime I change my excel work sheet.
I want a macro so when I run it, it takes the values from excel and
puts them into word
