There's a Word document that is used within my project. Now, we're trying to push towards having certain data inputted into an Excel spreadsheet that can be referenced from the Word document.
So I tried "embedding" the Excel spreadsheet into the Word doc so that it's one file. I also tried "attaching" the Excel spreadsheet inside the Word doc so that it can be opened with a double click. The problem is that because the files get so large and complicated in formatting, these don't seem to be viable options. It might work now but eventually the embedded excel sheet could cause problems down the line.
Does anyone have any other methods of making this work? Maybe have link to the Excel spreadsheet hosted somewhere that can be clicked from the Word doc. It would achieve the objective without having to worry about the files getting too large and corrupted from embedding.
Thanks
