A) Hyperlinked
B) placed in a word table
C) linked
D) embedded
When you insert an Excel file into a Word document, by default, the data becomes embedded. This means:
- A copy of the Excel data is placed within the Word document itself.
- Any changes you make to the data in the Word document won’t affect the original Excel file.
- The original Excel file is not linked to the Word document.
Here’s a breakdown of the other options and why they’re not quite right:
- A. Hyperlinked: This would create a link to the original Excel file. Clicking on the link would open the separate Excel file.
- B. Placed in a word table: While you can choose to paste the Excel data into a Word table, embedding is the default behavior.
- C. Linked: This would establish a connection between the Word document and the original Excel file. Any changes made to the data in the source Excel file would be reflected in the Word document. However, embedding is the standard approach.
