RE: Word

Dear Ralph

Thank you for attending Upgrade to Office 2007 course!! I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.

Importing Excel object into word is not really a new feature in Word 2007. You could do the same in 2003 version. The way you do that in 2003 is by choosing Insert > Object...

Choose a MS Excel open from file to import it from existing MS Excel workbook.

The feature of Word 2007 we used in the training was to create Table but instead of simple table where the calculation can be bit tedious we created Excel table so that we could use all the available features of Excel 2007.

If you do want to insert an existing Excel file in Word 2007 you need to choose Insert Tab on the Ribbon and then choose Object button. Choose the Create from file tab and then browse for the Excel file you want to import into Word.

Once you have chose the file then if you want to create a link between the two files you can click on the Link to file check box which means that the Excel Object in Word will get updated every time it is edited and saved in Excel.

If you do not want the link then please ensure that you do not check the link box.

I hope this has answered your query.

If this has answered your query then I would request you to please mark the question as resolved!! If not and you have a specific question related to this then please post it as a new question and we should be able to provide you the solution for it!!

Kindest Regards
