How to link a file in Word 2010 by pasting a link

If a user wants to create a link in a Word 2010 document that links to parts of other files, rather than linking to the entire file, you can use the Paste-only feature. To link some of the data in an Excel table as an example, the following steps are described:

Step 1th, open the Excel table window, select the data you want to create a link to, and perform the copy operation.

Step 2nd, open the Word 2010 document window, click the Paste Drop-down button in the Clipboard group in the Start Ribbon, and select paste selective from the Open Drop-down menu, as shown in Figure 2011081801.
