Copying an EXCEL worksheet into Word text

You can just copy the range of cells and paste into the word doc.

Yep, that's the answer.

yep

Yep, it creates a table within the Word document. You can use the format menu to hide or display the grid lines within the table so it makes it easier to follow along if it is a long row of data.

or <INSERT> <FILE>
choose the file you want.

Then you can alter the data directly without changing to the xml file.

OK, but I can't find any way to do the copying. If EXCEL has a "copy" button anywhere I can't find it. "Cut", yes, and "paste" yes. But that's all. I've tried right-clicking "copy" and then pasting the material, but nothing happens.

so let me get this straight....

you are highlight a bunch of cells in excel, ones you want to put in word.

after you highlight those cells, you right click.

when you right click, you should get a menu that read from top to bottom: cut, copy, paste, paste special, etc.

you click on copy.

you go to the word document, right click, and you are unable to click paste and get anything pasted there?

Use the keyboard shortcuts.

In the Excel document, highlight the cells you wish to copy. Press Control-C.

In the Word document, place the cursor in the spot where you want to place the Excel information and press Control-V.

The keyboard shortcuts will almost always work, even if there isn't a drop-down menu choice.

The cut, copy, paste and paste special funtion is located in the <EDIT> menu and also when you right click.
If the copy function is not there (is it greyed out/) i would say you are having system problems. You may want to try reloading excell from the original disc and updating

OK; I was thrown by the lack of a "copy" link and an "Edit" menu and completely forgot to select what I wanted. Control C and Control V worked just fine.

Thank you everybody!
