how to link excel to word
 

I am linking an excel spreadsheet to a word document using copy in excel and
paste special, paste link, Microsoft Excel worksheet object in word. The
link works fine, but the text (I'm using Arial 10 pt in both) appears
different in the word document - basically the characters from excel are
closer together than they are in word.
How can I make the linked object appear the same as the typing in word?
