If the document is linked then any changes in the original spreadsheet will change in the Word Document. It is also actually possible to create spreadsheet documents with calculations exclusively in Word. There are special functions to do this with tables. Figures won't automatically change like they do in Excel, so after changing figures, you use the F9 key to get the formulas in the Word document to re-calculate. As it is limited in its capabilities and because many people don't even know you can do it, spreadsheets are rarely done exclusively in Word. It is much better to do them in Excel and copy them to a Word document if they are needed in one.
