If you can live with the tables as embedded Excel objects, use Edit
PasteSpecial : Paste as Excel Worksheet object.
Apart from that, can you explain a little more about what's going wrong? --
simple cut and paste from Excel to Word isn't normally so dire.

I'm trying to import Excel spreadsheets into Word (as tables), but no
matter
how I do it (I've tried copy/paste, as well as insert file), the
formatting
applied in the Excel spreadsheet is scrambled when the data is pulled into
the Word table.
I've searched the help files, and have followed the directions step by
step
to no avail. If anyone can suggest a way to pull this data into Word
without
requiring massive formatting fixes afterwards, it would be much
appreciated.
The tables end up so screwed up in the Word document that it's easier to
retype the entire table than it is to fix the formatting.
Thanks in advance for any help!
