There is no Insert command under the File menu, so the problem
could be that you're doing it wrong. Once you figure out how to
insert a file, then inserting an Excel file into Word is not a
problem if the Excel32.cnv text converter is installed.

This is a fine fine solution, to copy and paste, however, why not instead fix
the problem where Word will not let you do "File/Insert" and then insert an
Excel file?
I know there is a conversion tool that should recognize the file as Excel
and convert it to a Word table, however we have over 100 computers where I
work and only 1 does it correctly.
Instead of a work around, is there a way to actually FIX the problem?

Start Word and Excel. In Excel, open the worksheet, select the cells
you want to insert into Word, and press Ctrl+C to copy the cells to the
Windows clipboard. Switch to Word. Click on Edit | Paste Special |
Paste: As: Picture or Microsoft Excel Object | OK. If you paste as a
picture into Word, the resulting Word file will be smaller, but the
contents of the Excel picture cannot be edited. If you paste as a
Microsoft Excel object into Word, the resulting Word file will be
larger, but the Excel object can be edited from Word by double-clicking
on the object.

the obvious by using insert, file, etc., but that brings me to a box (file
conversion) that is unreadable.

any suggestions? please help!
