Corrupting Word by Embedding Excel?

Hello all, I was going to link and embed some Excel spreadsheets into
some of word documents but I have been advised against it because the
files will become easily corrupted. Is this correct? Are there steps
that can be taken to avoid corruption? Chances are, the Excel and Word
files will be kept in seperate folders within a master folder and only
I will have access to them so they are not being moved around. Would
this strategy prevent it? Any suggestions would be most welcome!
Thanks for your time.
