OLE Excel links from word broken

I created a report in word with a list of different information. The dates I needed vary all throughout the report.

I needed each date a to be linked into an excel spreadsheet.  I linked the information by copying the date and special pasting as a linked text. They are linked so when someone updates the word document the info will automatically update the excel sheet.

When I open the excel worksheet and perform the updates I receive an error that stating the links don't work. 

Every single link is broken. I'm not sure if it's because it's an OLE link or something else (OLE_LINK43').

Please help.
