When you link data maintained in an Excel workbook to a Word document:

1. The Word document can still be edited. Linking data from Excel does not lock the Word document or prevent further edits.

2. The Word document contains a reference to the original source application. This means that the data in the Word document is linked to the Excel workbook and any changes made in the Excel workbook will be reflected in the Word document.

3. The Word document does not necessarily need to contain a hyperlink. The link to the Excel data is not a hyperlink that users can click on, but a data connection that updates the Word document with changes from the Excel workbook.

4. The Word document does not contain a copy of the actual data. Instead, it contains a link to the data in the Excel workbook. This means that the data in the Word document will update if the data in the Excel workbook changes.
