Putting Excel Spreadsheets into a Word Document

[nin137]

is there an easy way to put an excel spreadsheet into a word document? i have to create reports in which everything must be one document (a word document nonetheless) and i find it impossible to get a spreadsheet to fit into a word document. they always overlap off the page or just get jumbled. so is there any way that i can just insert a spreadsheet without all these formatting problems?
i appreciate any help with this. thanks.

Word can't handle all the functions/formulas etc of Excel. Might consider just using excel since you can type in it and use spell check.

The only way I've been able to insert a spreadsheet into Word without formatting hassles is to set up a table in Word with the exact number of columns and rows as the spreadsheet range you need, copying the spreadsheet range with mouse/Ctrl+C, then highlighting the table in Word, paste with Ctrl+V. Adjust table cell boundaries and font size as necessary to avoid word wrap.
