Default How do you replace a work sheet in excel with a word document?

I want a worksheet in excel to be a word document. Using the embedding
application will not suffice. Basically Sheet 1 will not have columns and
rows but will be a word document. Sheet 2 will be a wordsheet. Why the need?
Basically if word and excel can be saved in the same work book, in respect of
project work it would be time saving, efficient and effective.

Assuming you also don't want to (or can't due to your version) create a
binder, consider this approach:

1. Select and copy the text in your Word document.
2. Switch to Excel and select A1 on a blank worksheet.
3. Select Edit | Paste Special and choose Text from the listbox. (Or, in
place of steps 1 - 3, just type your text into different cells of a single
column on the worksheet.)
4. Select the column that contains the text and reformat its width so that
it's nearly as wide as the worksheet itself.
5. With the column still selected, choose Format | Cells, click the
Alignment tab and fill the Wrap Text checkbox. Click OK.
6. On the worksheet, adjust the heights of the rows that contain text so
that they display only the text.
7. Choose Tools | Options and click the View tab. Clear the Gridlines
checkbox, and also clear the Row & Column Headers checkbox. Click OK.

Your worksheet will now resemble a Word document. There are other ways to do
what you describe, but these steps will do it quick-and-not-so-dirty.
