Anatomy of Word: Using Excel information in Word documents
Notice in this figure that the heading clearly states that you are in Word, but the toolbars are clearly those you would see in Excel
The main difference between the copy and paste method is that you can now use all of Excel's capability to maintain the information and you don't even need to open Excel. Just double-click the table to allow Word to load Excel's functionality while you edit the information. When you're done making changes using the Excel tools, click anywhere else in your Word document. Above shows you what happens when you double-click an Excel worksheet embedded in a Word document.
Above, you'll notice that, although you're in the Word application, everything from the toolbars to the cursor to the row and column headings screams Excel. You can always tell you're in "edit mode" when you can see these Excel features. From here, anything you can do in Excel, you can now do in this Word table.
