More use of the menubar and submenus , for example, than is indicated in the below. however, Here's what you do, from the Excel Help:

Click in the upper-left corner of the worksheet area where you want to paste the table.Cells from the copied table replace any existing cells in the area. 5. Click Paste . 6. To adjust the formatting, click Paste Options next to the data, and then click Match Destination Formatting to use any formatting that was previously applied to the Excel cells, or Keep Source Formatting to match the formatting of the Word table as closely as possible. list end Note Excel pastes the contents of each cell in the Word table to a separate Excel cell.
