Display dynamicly linked image from web in word doc

[Internet User]

I have some javascript which, when placed on a web page, dynamically
displays a small amount of HTML and an image.
It's dynamic in that whenever the page is loaded, if the data changed, the
displayed info changes as well.
Pretty trivial on the web.
But how can I achieve the same thing in my word doc so that whenever I open
the doc, it pulls in the latest data?
I do not want to have to view the word doc in web view in order to see the
image and I don't want to save this doc as HTML.
Just want it to work automatically as a word doc.
Would I insert an image, a hyperlink, an object or do I need to use some vb
code?

Thanks in advance.

If it's a graphic, you can use insert=>Picture=>from file
and choose the 'link option' from the pulldown on the
[Insert|v] button. That creates a field in Word and
you can set the options in Word from the Tools menu
to update links on file open.

An inserted linked graphic can be from an HREF (URL).
If it's a location on the web that's a constant location
you can also copy the graphic when viewed in your browser
and paste it into Word and it will retain the link.
