Default can i paste an excel worksheet into word and then rotate the item

As an alternative to Doug's suggestion... Assuming that you aren't actually
Linking to the Excel file or have a need to edit the result in Word;

In Office 2003:

Option 1: Select the content in Excel, hold Shift while opening the Edit
menu & select Copy Picture, then paste into the Word document, or

Option 2: Copy the Excel content then in the Word document use Edit Paste
Special Picture (Enhanced Metafile).

In Office 2007:

Option 1: Select the Excel content then click the bottom part of the Paste
button, point to 'As Picture' & select 'Copy as Picture'. Choose the
appropriate options in the small dialog (the default settings should be
fine), click OK then Paste into the Word document, or

Option 2: Do as in Option 2 above but in Word click the bottom part of the
Paste button to select the Paste Special command.

Either will give you a graphic which can then be rotated.

word document (so i've done this with success) but now it cuts it off because

can see the whole thing.. how do i do this? can it be done? is there a better
way to do it?
