I'm not really sure about this. You can paste them from Excel using Paste
Link, but I'm not sure whether that's a pure link or a link+embed technique.
If you bookmark them in the other Word document, you can certainly use an
IncludeText field to link to them there. In fact, you should be able to link
to them in Excel using IncludeText (in this case, a named range functions as
a bookmark).

OK, then how do I link the graphics?
The charts were created in Excel, then imported into a separate Word
document. Can I link them from either source?

There's no way to link tables. And I don't think you can link charts,
either, unless they're created in Excel.

Ok, but my question is, how do I link them, as you advised.

Charts *are* graphics (that is, if you're talking about the charts
created
using Microsoft Graph) and will be governed by the View Options
settings.
Tables do add complexity to the document, but they usually don't
cause a
problem unless they get very long. Especially to be avoided are long
single-row tables.

I need to insert many charts and graphics into my dissertation,
which
is
also
overloaded with footnotes. In order to avoid overloading the doc,
Suzanne S. Barnhill once advised me to:

3. Link graphics as much as possible and don't display them except
when
absolutely necessary. On the View tab of Tools | Options, check
the
box
for
"Picture placeholders" and clear the box for "Drawings." This will
suppress
the display of all graphics.

Can I do the same with charts and tables?
