In Word, I have an Excel worksheet inserted. The viewable size of it seems to
be limited to some predefined number of rows and columns. Resizing by its
handles only seems to stretch it. When I add data into additional rows and
columns in Excel, the inserted object in Word remains fixed, cutting off
everything beyond that predefined number of rows and columns. How can I
update the expanded Excel worksheet inserted in Word?

If the Excel stuff was actually *inserted* before, the Link box evidently
didn't get checked or the link may be set to be updated manually. Go to
EditLinks & see if that command is active (not dimmed). If active,select it
and update the link through the dialog box.

If that is not available, it sounds like you are actually dealing with a
'picture' of the stuff that was copied from an Excel file and pasted into a
Word doc. If so, delete the picture and got to InsertObjectFrom File.
Navigate to locate & 'open' your Excel file and make sure to put a check in
the Link box. You will have more display flexibility and be able to have the
link udated Automatically or Manually through the Links command mentioned
above.

After re-inserting and linking, it looks okay. But when I add data to new
rows in the spreadsheet, then come back and update the link, the new data is
NOT available. Whether it's linked or just pasted as picture, the spreadsheet
do not seem to include data in new cells, like, for example, fifteen
additional rows.
