Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
The how depends on what you're trying to achieve - automatic updating of one document from the same set of cells, preparing multiple documents for bulk mailings, etc. etc.

I want to achieve the former: automatic updating of one document from the same set of cells. It can also be one-click if not manual.

Simply copy the Excel range you're interested in, then paste it into the Word document using Paste Special with the 'paste link' option and your preferred format. From then on, any changes to the Excel ranges concerned will be reflected in the Word document. No code required.

It won't work like that as I want to format different parts of the text with different formattings, eg bold specific text etc.

If you format the content in Excel the way you want, depending on the link format the formatting can carry over into the Word document.
