The mathematical functionality within tables in Microsoft Word 2003
is quite limited. For instance having entered a sum(above) formula if we then
change a cell content the "sum" does not refresh.
For more complicated calculations it is advisable to perform the calculation in
a Microsoft Excel 2003 Worksheet and insert it in Word 2003.

• Copying and Pasting


• Embedding


• Linking



The question now is which method do we use to insert an Excel Worksheet
into a Word 2003 document.


The method used depends very much on whether the data from the source i.e. Excel
needs to update the destination file i.e Word 2003.

If the data does not have to be updated then the Copying and Pasting method will
suffice as this method does not "Connect" both files.
If the data does have to be updated then use either the Embedding or Linking method.
