You may copy the data you enter into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and paste it into a Microsoft Word document.
You can save time by copying and pasting data into Word rather than starting from scratch and entering everything over.
Copy data from Excel to Word
- Select the cells in Microsoft Excel that contain the information you wish to copy to the Word document.
- Using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C, or right-click the highlighted cells and choose Copy from the pop-up menu.
- Right-click the area in Microsoft Word where you wish to paste the Excel data.
- Choose the preferred paste technique using the pop-up menu’s Paste option after right-clicking, or just hit Ctrl+V on the keyboard.
Data formatting after copying
You might need to alter the layout of a Word document after pasting Excel data into it because Microsoft Word’s default settings for font size and type might take effect.
The copied data is displayed in a table.
To properly accommodate the data in the new table, the column widths might need to be changed.
