You could do it if the spreadsheets were linked rather than embedded, and
all part of the same workbook.

Alternatively, you can use bookmarks to refer to specific cells in a Word
table, then use REF fields to refer to the bookmarked values. Clumsy if
you've got many such to do. If the focus of the work is primarily data,
perservere with Excel.

I want to cross-refer to values within tables. The easiest way for me to
work with my data is within excel, so I've been trying to get this to work
with one embedded workbook. I put the different worksheets of this workbook
in different locations within the document. Unfortunately, when I change the
data in one worksheet, it won't show up in other places in the document. The
changes are only seen when I double click to edit on the worksheet and look
at the different worksheets from there. How can I see the changes in other
places in the document? Is this possible? Thanks!

Link in what sense? Cross-refer to values within the tables, or
graphically
link the two table objects for formatting purposes?

Hi, I'm trying to link two tables together within a Word document. The
only way that I was successful in doing this, was by linking it to an
Excel
workbook and using a new worksheet for each table. Unfortunately, I
cannot
use this method because of it's intended purpose. It became too
confusing
dealing with two documents rather than one. I either need to link the
tables
using embedded Excel worksheets or Word tables. It involves different
formulas etc. Is there any way to do this? Thanks.
