How can I change an excel spreadsheet into a word doc

If you know how many rows and columns you want, maybe this'll help:

1. Create a table in Word with the desired number of rows and columns.

2. In Excel, select the cells to be copied, and use
Edit Copy

3. Back in Word, select the actual table columns. That is, hover the cursor
at the top of the left-most column until the down-arrow appears, then left-
click and hold it while dragging the cursor to the right to the last column
but not beyond it. Make sure the little rectangles to the right of the
table border are not selected. Then use:
Edit Paste cells

(I have Excel 2003 and Word 2003.)
