how do i insert a clickable icon excel file into word
Jay said to _double_-click. If that doesn't work, did you try Ctrl-
click on the link? There's a setting somewhere in the options for
changing how links work.

We have done the instructions below. But when we click on the link in the
word document, it moves the link around and doesn't open. *Is there something
we are doing wrong?

Select the menu item Insert Object. Click the tab Create from File. Browse
to and select the Excel file you want. Check the box for "Display as icon".
(If you want the file itself embedded in the Word document instead of just a
link, leave the "Link to file" box unchecked.). You probably should click
the Change Icon button and shorten the caption to just the file name, so it
isn't truncated. Click OK.
Double-clicking the icon will launch the file in a separate Excel window.
