Vista (copy Excel to Word)

Hi, I'm trying to copy (make as an icon) an excel document into a wor
document

*Steps I've tried (In word):

1. Hit insert ta
2. Click on object button, then chose objec
3. Click on Create from File ta
4. Hit Browse button, then I chose the excel document I wanted copied
5. I have then tried Display as Ico

Didn't work. *I received error*: The program used to create this objec
is Excel. That program i snot installed on your computer. To edit thi
object, you must install a program that can open the object

I then tried not clicking Display as Icon, but still didn't wor
(received same error)

I thought maybe I need to do a Windows Update, but that came back as n
updates needed to be installed

I CAN open Excel, Vista. So that is why this is weird

Can anybody help

Thank

This question would best be asked in an appropriate Office newsgroup, as
it's not strictly a Vista issue.

try to click on the above toolbar edit button there should be past
special.. hit on the small arrow thingy down when you click on edit t
see more options.. then select the format you want the copied item t
pasted as.
