Maybe...

You could copy the MSWord table.
Then paste that table into excel as a picture.

In xl2003, I shift-click on Edit and use Paste Picture.

This isn't used with file|Page setup|headers and footers. It's used to paste
over the worksheet.

I have a table which is in Word document and I want to import it into Excel
as a header. Is this possible? If this is not possible how can I import the
table into the document without messing up the cell formatting I already have?
I need this table to appear on each printed page (approximately 20 pages)
however everytime I have tried to import the table the formatting that has
been previously established by the Excel document becomes distorted.
