Referencing Excel Objects in Word

MS Word Doc >> Referencing Excel Objects in Word

I have a Word doc that has a Excel Chart object in it.

Can I create a table in Word and reference the data from the chart object to
the table, if so how??

MS Word Doc >> Referencing Excel Objects in Word Hi awrex,

If you open the Excel object and access the data underlying the chart, you
could copy that and paste it into a table in the body of the Word document.
Alternatively, you could make a copy of the Excel object and delete the
chart from it to expose the underlying data.

Cheers

MS Word Doc >> Referencing Excel Objects in Word Thank you for your response.

Though I was hoping that I could update the data in the object and have the
data in the table updated automaticaly. I haven't tried using a macro to do
this portion however, would this be a "shortcut"?

MS Word Doc >> Referencing Excel Objects in Word Hi awrex,

You could link the two (via Edit|Paste Special & 'Link') but, whether you
use a data table or an embedded Excel table, the updating won't be
automatic - you'd have to open the embedded object and/or print the file
with the 'update links' option checked uner Tools|Options|Print.

MS Word Doc >> Referencing Excel Objects in Word Thanks for your help it is very much appreciated... looks like I'll need to
keep this portion manual.

I did have another question... can you tell me why when I create a macro in
Word and attempt to copy and paste from text boxes to text boxes, no code is
generated that references this action or the text boxes themselves?

MS Word Doc >> Referencing Excel Objects in Word Hi awrex,

Probably due to a limitation of the macro recorder.

Also, whilst the macro recorder generally returns a macro to suit the
particular actions you've performed, the code thus generated is neither
flexible nor efficient. You usually have to do a lot more work to turn the
code into something that is both flexible and efficient.

Cheers
