I'm stumped.

I need to convert a .xls file to Microsoft Word format. It simply doesn't seem to be possible, but where there's a will, there's a way. Rolling Eyes

If anyone has an idea of how to do this, I'd appreciate the help.

Wow! You've blown me away with your completely obvious solution that anyone with half a brain could have tried.

Or try saving the Excel as PDF and copying and pasting from the PDF into Word.

Will a screenshot/picture of the Excel worksheet pasted in the document serve your purposes?

the question is why?

Do you want to be able to update the excel file and have the table in the word doc updated?

Do you want it to look the same?

The problem is they are two different formats each for different purposes.

It's like asking how do i change my jpg into a word. You don't change it, you insert it
