3. Edit Excel spreadsheet in Word
3. Edit Excel spreadsheet in Word
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.
Why is it better to place the spreadsheet on a separate page in your document and adjust it according to your orientation (portrait or landscape orientation)?
Because we want to show the table so completely, because a user later should not switch to edit mode to display all content.
The inserted table is initially displayed as an embedded image, which we can resize by dragging the corners.
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.

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.

5. Link Excel table to Word
5. Link Excel table to Word
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.
