I have a question regarding linking Word and Excel Documents.

I have one excel document called Workbook and a Word document called
Editorial. In the excel file, I have it set up with a list of things to be
graded on the far left column and have about 10 other columns where I can
put the grade in it and it sums it up on the bottom to get a total number.
What I did was go into the Word document and went to Insert>Object and
picked that excel document and said to link the two. It works great.

My problem is this. I am putting these two documents where they are
available to the 12 or so students I have in my class. They are to each copy
both documents to their computer and enter their grades into the excel
document where it shows up in the word document. In trying this myself, once
I copied the two and moved them to another location, they no longer were
linked. My goal is for them to only turn the word document into me once they
are done adding the grades in, but then, I don't think all the info will be
able to be put in once they start moving things around.

My question is this: Is there a way to keep the two files linked permanently
so that no matter where they move the files, they will always stay linked?

Thanks in advance!!
