I am creating a brochure in Word but I have an exel file with a number
of tabs and functions that spits those results into my actual exel
data tab. I would rather use Word to pull this data from Exel since
that data may change often. Is there a way to get my formula results
from Excel into Word? Hopefully I explained that properly.

Thanks,
Corey

I'm assuming you want to be able to have updated Excel results appear in
Word when the formula kicks out a new number. The easiest way usually is to
copy from Excel, then paste a link into Word. The manifestation in Word will
look like a table or a table cell. When you double-click it in Word, it will
open in Excel. Copy the cell(s) to the clipboard in Excel (select and press
Ctrl+C), then, in Word, choose Edit - Paste Special - Microsoft Office Excel
Worksheet Object - Paste Link - OK.

Another way is to use Insert - Object - Create from File, and tick Link to
File. In my experience, with the latter method, it's hard to control exactly
what displays in Word.
