Default How do I convert a Excel 2003 file into a Word 2003 file (table)?

The Excel file is large, some 550 lines and the Word file is small. I have
tried "insert" and "copy and paste" but in each case the formatting is lost.
I also want to ensure the copied Excel data cannot be modified.

Regards

DD

Copy - then edit paste special picture
Only snag is that objects such as pictures cannot span pages.
If you paste special as html you will retain the formatting, and can span
pages, but the file will be editable.
Ultimately anything you allow a user to see can be edited.
