What you can do is select part or all of an Excel worksheet, copy it to the clipboard, and use Paste Special in Word to put it into the document as a plain-text table or as a linked object. Similarly, you can copy a table from Word to the clipboard and paste it into Excel, which will automatically match up the cells. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

In Word 2003 or earlier, Paste Special is a choice on the Edit menu. In Word
2007, click the down arrow on the Paste button on the Home ribbon and choose Paste Special from the dropdown menu. In either case, the dialog will let you choose from "Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet Object" (a linked object that will update when you change the data in Excel), "Formatted Text (RTF)" which creates a Word table, "Unformatted Text" which creates tab-separated text, and various kinds of graphics.
