From there, a new window will appear, and you'll select the "Create from File" tab which will let you select the file you have already created in Excel. In your word document, select the "Insert" tab and select "Object".

If you want to continue to "do math" in your Word Document (in this example, perhaps updating the sales figure and re-calculating the average), you can actually insert the spreadsheet as an Excel object. Note that when you "paste" the selection into Word, if you right click to enable the paste, instead of just using CTRL V, you'll have the option of selecting the style of selection to match the original, or match the Word docment style. This will create a table of the information in your word document. Then, open the Excel document, highlight the area of the spreadsheet you want to copy, right click to "copy", and then "paste" into your Word document.

If you just need to get the information into your report to display as a table, simply open your Word document and put the cursor at the desired location for the table. For example, if you're preparing a report in Microsoft Word, it's easy to insert an Excel spreadsheet. If you've mastered the basics of the Microsoft Office suite, one of the next things to try is using the programs together.
