Hi Kieren,

There are a number of ways to achieve this (including Mail Merge and inserting field codes) however, by far the easiest and way that sounds like it would suit you best is to paste a link.

To do this, go into your Excel worksheet and Copy the cell you want to put into Word. In your Word document, where you want the data, select Paste Special and click on Paste Link and Unformatted Text before clicking OK.

You can format this text to match the rest of your Word document, and whenever the data in Excel changes, it will change in your Word document.
