How have you imported Excel data into Word before? Have you had any issues when you tried to do so? Share your experience in the comments section below. The option you choose really only depends on how you intend to use that data and whether you want to see or use data changes in the original Excel file.
The changes take effect in Word even if you haven’t saved the changes in the Excel file.
#How to import an excel sheet into word for labels update#
If you return to your original Excel file and make any changes to the data in any of the cells you pasted, you’ll see those changes immediately update in your Microsoft Word document. You’ll see that the inserted Excel data looks the same as in the previous section, but there’s a significant difference. The procedure to do this is identical to the one above, except in the Paste Special window you want to make sure to select the Paste Link checkbox. (The Insert File command is needed to import a data file saved in CSV or excel format.) You can also use Insert > Object > From text file. The best way to insert an Excel worksheet into a Word doc is by pasting it as a linked embedded object. Click the 'Insert' menu, then the command 'File' (or 'Text from File' in Word 2007) and locate the CSV or excel file in the Choose a File dialog box. Insert An Excel Worksheet As A Linked Object Cons: Doesn’t update with source data, and can’t edit table directly inside Word.Pros: Fast and convenient, good for large tables, and conserves original formatting.It also gives you an “attached” Excel data file of the original data file in case you ever want to modify the data or add additional data to your pasted Excel object in Word. What is nice about this approach is that none of the original formatting gets changed during the conversion to a Microsoft Word table. You can use all of Excel’s functions and formatting features to make any changes.When you double-click the object, Word opens the copied file for editing.When you use an embedded object to paste Excel data, Word creates a copy of the original Excel file.But any edits you make and save in that Excel file will update in your Word document. Keep in mind this is an entirely new Excel file (not the original).
If you do want to edit the data, just double-click on the object and it will open the entire original spreadsheet inside Microsoft Excel. However, you can resize the entire object so that it fits inside the margins of your document.
