Default Links

I believe you have to close and re-open the Word document to see the changes.
Note also that changes outside of the Excel range that you pasted (as a link)
won't be reflected in the document.

The instructions you are seeing are the so-called field codes; you can press
Alt+F9 to hide them again. It refers to the sheet and Excel range that is
linked into the Word document.

I created a link between Word 2003 and Excel 2003 using a copy/paste special
procedure.
I just discovered, however, that if I change my excel file (let's say, by
inserting another row), the Word document links don't work. I must be
missing something. How can I make it so that the cell reference changes?
Also, when I'm in the Word document, what does this mean?: Sheet1!R1C1" \a
\to

Thanks, Jeannine
