Links Between Word and Excel affect word performance

Hi to everyone,

I have a word document (.docx) which contain links with an excel file (.xlsx).
About 20 sheets of excel (around 40 tables) are linked in word documents which include those 40 tables .

while i am trying to open the word document this call the excel file and trying to connect and update the tables takes around 5 minutes to open the file.

There is anyway or option in word to select in order to open the file directly without trying to update all the tables at the beginning?

thanks in advance for your valuable time.

It works perfectly.
Thank you very much for your valuable time and help
