714413 2008-10-24 06:21:00 Hi Folks.
Using Office Suite 2003. Is there a simple way of copying data from an Excel file to a Word file as text? Once it is in Word as text I would put it in a Word table as a small database. Having a mental blockage....... thanks.

You can copy the excel Spread sheet into a word document.

In Word click on Insert Excel Spread Sheet Symbol Example (www.imagef1.net.nz)

That will insert a blank Spreadsheet that you can grab the bottom right corner and drag to the size you want Example (www.imagef1.net.nz)

Then go to your Spread Sheet, select the cells you want say A1 - D18 ( or what ever cells you have/want ), then copy - Go back to your Word Document Select Cell A1 and in the spread sheet Paste back in.Copied (www.imagef1.net.nz) then Click out side Table / Save it (www.imagef1.net.nz) and theres your table. If you double click it, it will turn back into a working spreadsheet you can alter.
