OK - do you know about the 'camera' in excel?
1) right click on the tool bars & go to 'Customise'. select the commands tab
2) select the tools option & scroll down til you find the camera. add it to a tool bar...
3) select a range of cells, click the camera icon, then click somewhere else in the worksheet...
4) the camera can be used to dump the data into word as well (it turns up as a Word table).
or another often missed option:
1) select an area of cells
2) hold down the shift key, then go to the edit menu - you see a new option 'Copy picture'
3) Play around with the options to see the results in word...
Not necessarily 'better' than other methods, just a few more options...
