Default table from excel to word

If this is a "static" table that will remain unchanged and independent of the
excel file then one easy way to transfer the table is as follows:

1. Format the table in Excel exactly as you want it to appear in Word.
2. Select the table in Excel
3. Click on the PASTE clip board icon in the HOME Tab
4. At the bottom of the PASTE pop-up that appears select "as Picture"
5. In the "Copy as Picture" dialog box /window that appears select "As
Shown when Printed"
6. Click "OK"
7. Paste the copied image into Word

This creates an enhanced metafile with embeded fonts and vector graphics
that can easily be resized and moved in Word without distorting the fonts.

I have copied an excel table to word, but how do I do if I want the table to
"lay down" on a whole A4 page in Word? Is there a function to flip a table in
word that´s been taken from excel?
