Flipping back and forth between Excel and Word to insert tables into Word documents is the kind of manual and time-consuming work that we suggest you stop doing. There is no need to retype the content, figure by figure, or to try to make accurate screen shots of your tables. You can access the Excel spreadsheet, with all its smart features, directly in Word.
