In order to insert a spreadsheet already existing as an Excel file into a Word document, we must first determine at which point in your Word document the Excel spreadsheet should be inserted.

To do this, place the cursor in the desired position in the document:

Note:
Please keep in mind that the text underneath the insertion point may be wrapped on other pages.

Next, we’ll do the following in your Word document:

• Insert tab
• In the ribbon “Text” on “Object” Sub-item again “Object”
• In the then opening window on “Create from file”
• With the “Browse” option, select the desired Excel table on your drive by double-clicking

After inserting our spreadsheet into the Word document, depending on the size of the Word document, it will seriously mess up the text components in the Word document.

To edit, simply right-click on the inserted Excel table in the context menu and select “Worksheet Object” and “Edit”.

In edit mode we now have the complete working interface of Excel in our Word document.

Of course, you also have the option of inserting a completely new Excel spreadsheet into your Word document.

To do this, simply go to the tab under Word:

• “Start” on “Paste”
• And then on “Excel spreadsheet”
• Again, we can resize the table as you like, and edit it under the Excel desktop.

As soon as you leave the table area, for example, In your Word document, the inserted spreadsheet will look like a picture.

In the previous steps, we have an Excel spreadsheet embedded in a Word document.

But if changes are made to the source file, they will not affect the inserted table yet.

The Excel spreadsheet in our Word document is thus static.

This can of course make sense for a snapshot.

To link the table dynamically with the changes in the source file, just activate the “Link” checkbox when inserting the file.
