Hi bhm-
Make sure the sheet is the topmost sheet when you save & close the Excel
file. If you are doing this in a new file with no other content as yet, start
from within Word. Go to File>Open and navigate to the directory where the
Excel file is stored. At the bottom of the Open File dialog box change the
File Type to either All Files or
Microsoft Excel Worksheet, then open the file. Click Yes to the 'conversion'
and select the correct sheet from the list in the Open Worksheet dialog box,
then click OK. The sheet will open as an editable Word Table.
*IMPORTANT* - *DO NOT SAVE*, but go to File>Save As and save as a Word Doc,
preferably in another folder. (If you just Save it will corrupt the workbook
file.)
Another option, again from within Word & the insertion point where you want
the Excel content, go to Insert>Object. On the Create from File page click
Browse, navigate to & select your Excel file and click Insert, then click OK.
The sheet will be inserted as an embedded object (copy of your Excel file)
which cannot be edited by Word, but Double-Clicking it will open the object
in Excel so you can make any changes to it if/when necessary. (Note: you
could use the Link check box in the Insert Object dialog box if the sheet
needs to be kept up-to-date based on changes that take place in the original
workbook file.)
You might want to look into Object Linking & Embedding in Word Help for more
info.
