Word allows users to insert an excel spreadsheet directly into a Word
document. My question is, if an individual recieving the document as, say, a
file attachment, does not have Excel installed oin their computer, can they
still view and/or edit the Word .doc file?

Hi Bill-

The recipient will still be able to open & edit the Word doc itself and
_view_ the embedded Excel content. Whether they are able to edit the Excel
content depends on how it is added to the doc. You might want to take a look
at Word Help

About inserting information by creating a linked object or an embedded object
