How to Insert an Excel Cell to Word

Integrate data by linking Word and Excel.

Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel are both integral parts of the Office suite, so they naturally work well together. You can insert an Excel spreadsheet cell or a range of cells into a Word document, and it appears just as it would in Excel. You have the option of embedding the object in Word or linking to it. When you link to an object, you can edit it in Excel, and Word will automatically update it.

Instructions

1. Open an existing document in Microsoft Excel.

2. Select the cell you want to insert into Word. Select multiple cells if you want to insert a range of data.

3. Hold "Ctrl" and press "C" to copy the Excel data. The copied cell will have a bounding box around it.

4. Open a Microsoft Word document.

5. Place your cursor in the Word document where you want to insert the Excel data.

6. Click the "Home" tab. In the "Clipboard" group, click the arrow underneath "Paste." Select "Paste Special."

7. Select "Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet Object" from the "As" list. Select "Paste" to embed it. Select "Paste Link" to link to the Excel file. Click "OK."

8. Click the "Microsoft Office Button" or "File," then "Save" to save the Word document.
