In the WOrd document, press Alt+F9 to display the field codes and add the \*
charformat switch inside the closing }, replacing \* mergeformat if it is
there. Now apply the desired formatting to the L of Link then press Alt+F9
again to toggle off the display of the field codes.

I am linking a data cell from Excel into Word.

I am using the paste special, paste link: unformatted text

I make adjustments to the font and font size in Word. I goto Excel, and I
modify the text in the cell and go back to Word and it changes.

How can I get the formatting to stay the same, no matter what?
