However, at the least the entire spreadsheet won't be embedded within your business plan Word document. If you want to insert a table into Word as a 'Linked Object' so that when you edit Excel, the table in Word will update automatically, you may have a more difficult time preserving the formatting of the original. Important: When you paste a chart object into your business plan, make sure to 'Paste as a Picture' because pasting the chart as an embedded object means that the entire spreadsheet becomes embedded in your Word document (even though what you see is only the chart). If you don't want the table to be editable in Word, you can 'Paste as a Picture' using Paste Special or by choosing the 'Picture' option when you right-click in Word to paste the table. This will typically paste the data as a formatted and editable table in Word, though none of the formulas will be functional within Word (and the table will not be linked to Excel).
For simple tables, you can use Copy/Paste (Ctrl+c / Ctrl+v) to copy a table from Excel to Word.
