Is an external excel spreadsheet linked into a word document considered a compoound document in the microsoft enviroment?
They are two distinct documents that are linked together.
Not necessarily. An external document is what it is, but if it is connected to another document, the other document would be a compound document.
yes.
yes
Sure. Why not?
A Word doc with a linked spreadsheet is usually called a 'Compound Document'.
It is still an Excel spreadsheet. The workbook does not change, just because it is linked to another document to form a compound document.
The spreadsheet does not change. The combination is called a compound document because of definition.
If it is linked then when the data in the spreadsheet is changed, that change will show in the Word document. If it is embedded, then changes in the spreadsheet will not have any effect on the figures in the Word document.
yes
Because it is more than a single document as one.
An external style sheet.
The benefit of linking a chart from an Excel worksheet to a Word document is that the chart data will always be current. Excel is spreadsheet software from Microsoft.
Yes. To insert a link, type the text you want as the link and select it. Then either press Ctrl and K, or go to the Insert menu and pick Hyperlink. In the dialog box that opens you will be able to choose the file or page which you want your link to go to.
Compound words are linked words.
