How to Embed Excel Into a Word Report Template

Microsoft Word and Excel are both a part of the Office Suite of applications. Because they are both a part of the same suite of applications and created by the same development, both the software programs can integrate easily. Microsoft Excel can be copied and pasted into a Word template document. The process is useful if you need to present the spreadsheet in a distributed Word document. After copying the Excel spreadsheet, you can simply paste it into a Word report template.

Instructions

1. Open the Excel spreadsheet you want to embed in the Word document. Highlight all the cells that you want to embed into the Word document.

2. Press "Ctrl+C" on your keyboard. This action copies the spreadsheet contents, and you can use it to paste into the Word document.

3. Open the Word report template. Once the Word template loads, place the cursor in the area where you want the spreadsheet to paste.

4. Click the "Home" tab in the Word ribbon section. On the "Paste" clipboard, click the arrow to show more options. Select the "Paste Special" option.

5. Select "Microsoft Office Excel object" from the Paste Special list of options. This pasts the Excel spreadsheet object directly to the Word report template. Press "Ctrl+S" on the keyboard to save the document.
