A table was created in word and I need to link it to
access and I need to be able to edit the table in word as
well as in access. What can I do?

Not much, I'm afraid. There's no support for what you
envision in Word. Link from Access to display in Word, yes.
But not sending data back the other direction.

This would require some pretty hefty automation (macro/VBA
programming)...
