Default copy & paste values+formats from excel to word

What is the best way to copy the values & formats of a table in excel into a
table in word?

I've tried various ways but it doesn't seem to work quite the way I expect
it to:
- paste as RTF - the resultant table does not seem to behave when I try to
change properties like column width, etc.
- paste as text - everything gets into a single cell rather than populated
throughout the table

Thanks.

I would go ahead and either do one of the following:

1. Insert an Excel worksheet object
2. Insert your Excel data and an embedded workbook

In 2007 Click INSERT on the ribbon and click the OBJECT icon. To insert an
Excel worksheet object select Microsoft Excel Worksheet from the list of
objects on the CREATE NEW tab. To insert the file click the FROM FILE tab,
click BROWSE and locate your file. You have the option of the creating a
link back to the file if you wish. Click OK to exit.

In 2003 click INSERT on the menu and then click OBJECT from the drop-down
menu and follow the same instructions as above.
