You should find this file in the TextConv folder on hard drive of
the one computer that "does it correctly". Just copy it to the
corresponding folder on the other computers' hard drives.

Sorry, I meant Insert/File, not File/Insert.

I will investigate this "Excel32.cnv" but I have yet to see this listed in
any of the help files regarding this problem.

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.

I am attempting to insert an excel worksheet into a word document. I've tried
the obvious by using insert, file, etc., but that brings me to a box (file
conversion) that is unreadable.

any suggestions? please help!
