I have used the insert field document to insert text from a different word
document. I wanted to know whether this was possible with word and excel. If
i enter a value in word, i would like it to appear on an excel spreadsheet
either automatically (which would be great) or by pressing F9 after clicking
on the cell. Is this possible?

Yes it is possible. The quick and dirty way is simply to select and copy the
text/cell in one application, switch to the other and Paste Special Paste
as link.

Or insert a hyperlink using the Bookmark switch. For Word, you need to
bookmark the piece of text you want to refer to in Excel; going the other
way, the cell reference or any defined name can be used as the bookmark.
