Default how to edit an imported in word

If you have inserted the excel sheet as a picture, which appears to be the
case, it is no longer an excel worksheet sheet but a graphic. Neither Word
nor Excel have the ability to convert graphics to tables - for that you
would need to extract the image
http://www.gmayor.com/extract_images_from_word.htm and use OCR software to
attempt a conversion to a table. Any calculations that pre-existed in the
original worksheet would of course be lost.
