Analyzing a Word Table in Excel

You can use Microsoft Office Word to generate professional-looking tables that present your data cleanly and clearly. However, Word isn’t the best tool for summarizing and analyzing that data. If, after you’ve created a table in Word, you realize that you need to do a bit more analysis of the data, take it to the data-analysis expert: Excel.

Analyze the Table

  1. In Word, on the Home tab, select the table, and click the Cut button (or press Ctrl+X).

  2. Switch to a blank Excel worksheet, and, on the Home tab, click the Paste button (or press Ctrl+V) to insert the data from Word.

  3. Make whatever changes you want to the table, and save the file.

  4. Select the cells that contain the data you want to return to your Word document, and, on the Home tab, click the Copy button (or press Ctrl+C).

  5. Click in the Word document to place the insertion point where you want to insert the table, and click the Paste button (or press Ctrl+V).

  6. Click the Paste Options button, and choose one of the following to specify how you want to paste the table:

    1. Match Destination Table Style to insert the table without staying connected to the Excel worksheet

    2. Match Destination Table Style And Link To Excel to maintain the connection to Excel so that you can continue to make changes in Excel that will appear in the Word table

  7. Make any changes you want to the formatting of the table, and save the document.
