Couldn't be simpler: With your Excel spreadsheet open, select the columns
and rows  you want to
transfer into the Word document, and select Copy on the Edit menu. (Or press
Ctrl C.)  Close (or
minimize) the Excel window and maximize the Word window with a document in
it.  Position the cursor
where you want the spreadsheet to go and select Paste on the Edit menu. (Or
press Ctrl V.)

The trick on this one is whether there are enough characters per line in
your Word document to
accommodate the number of characters per column (add one for each column
separator) in a row.  If
you have 11 columns of 5 characters each, you have 55 characters of text,
plus 10 column
separators, and that might be too much for some word processing line widths.
If this is so there
are several options:

1. Increase the line length (in characters) for just the section where
you'll be pasting the
spreadsheet.
2.  Decrease the point size of the font you're using for the spreadsheet.
3.  Decrease the right and left margins of your word processing document.
This, however, will
cause the text lines to expand, too, and this may not be what you want.

I'm sure the group here can think of other ways around this too, but those
are the most obvious.
