Microsoft Office

Part IV
Using Advanced Excel Features
TIP
You could insert a normal Word table, but you can take advantage of Excel’s formulas and
functions in an embedded Excel worksheet.
To create a new Excel object in a Word document, choose Insert ➪ Text ➪ Object in Word. Word responds
with the Object dialog box. Click the Create New tab, and you see a list of the types of objects that you can
create. Select Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet from the list and click OK.
Word inserts an empty Excel worksheet object into the document and activates it for you. Again, you have
full access to the Excel Ribbon, so you can enter whatever you want into the worksheet object. After you
finish, click anywhere in the Word document. You can double-click this object at any time to make changes
or additions.
You can change the size of the object while it’s activated by dragging any of the sizing handles (the little
black squares and rectangles) that appear on the borders of the object.
