How to Convert Excel to Word

Do you want to convert an Excel document into a Microsoft Word document? Excel does not contain a feature for converting an Excel file into a Word file, and Word cannot directly open Excel files. However, an Excel table can be copied and pasted into Word and then saved as a Word document. Read this guide to learn how to insert an Excel table into a Word document. [1]

• Yes. Just search for "free online excel to word converter" and use one of the websites that shows up. You could also download OpenOffice for free, which you can use the same way as Word and where you can save documents in Word format.

• I assume you are using a screen clipping tool to copy the Excel cells into Word. I would recommend either copying the cells (dragging to select) and pasting as a table into Word, or embedding the spreadsheet into Word. Method one works perfectly for basic Excel content and allows you to further format it to suit the structure and styling of your Word document. Method two allows complicated Excel content such as graphs to appear in Word without making screen clippings. It also can be used to preserve all formulas in the embedded sheet so that you can access them directly in Word. Either of these methods should help your Excel cells appear correctly in your Word document.
