Problems: Linking & embedding Excel data and charts into Word
Why are you pasting as WMF instead of as MS Office Excel Chart Object?

Does Microsoft or Office 2007 offer a better solution to live
linking/embedding data/charts from Excel into Word?
I have the need to "live link" about 40 excel ranges into a Word document.
In 2003, I tried this using the Copy_Paste Special_Link_Picture Windows
Metafile. When I update the data in Excel (such as hiding or revealing a
column or row), the linked pictures in Word move around on the page and
sometimes don't update.
A couple of years ago, Microsoft told me that this OLE technology cannot
support the number of links into my Word report (After 2 gigs of ram, more
video and printer memory) and offered no solution.
I have since purchased a third party utility program as a solution, but it
also has severe limitations and does not work on Office 2007.
Does Microsoft or Office 2007 offer a better solution to live
linking/embedding data/charts from Excel into Word? The need to live
link
tables and charts from Excel to Word just seems so common
Thanks for your help.
