I am making various reports that are basically the same but with different specifics. So for the first on I created a nice Excel sheet in which a I can carry out all my manipulations and I have various ranges of that sheet linked to charts in the Word document. Now I want to be able to make a copy of the Word Document and a copy of the Excel sheet and then link the two, and I want to be able to do that for each new report. The problem is that I can't figure out how to get the new Word Documents to point to the new Excel files. The "Select Data" button only let's me modify ranges in the sheet that is already linked and I can't find anywhere to modify the sheet it points to.
