Linked Excel sheet re-opened for every linked chart. ANNOYING!

I must be doing something wrong. I have an Excel sheet with about 30 charts created. I pasted as link in Word. I have the settings checked to update links automatically.

The problem is that when the Word file is opened, it says "This document contains links that may refer to other files. Do you want to update this document with the data from the linked files?"

When I press Yes, it opens the Excel file. However, it wants to reopen the file for each chart I have linked. I get this dialogue.

All of the charts are on the same Excel sheet. Why is it trying to open an instance for each chart? What can I do? Is this a Word issue or did I link it improperly from Excel? I'm very frustrated, please help if you can.
