The link to an Excel file is maintained in Word by a LINK field. Go
through the steps manually, then press Alt+F9 to see the field code.
The macro would display a dialog box to get the path information from
the user. It should then use the Fields.Add method to create the LINK
field.

Hmmm. I'm mentally trying to come to terms with a Word novice
trying to create a macro for linking outside the Word
application...
What steps would you normally use to bring the Excel information
into Word and link it? And which version of Office are you using?
