I need to take a document from word and put it in excel so that can use the sum and formulas to update the document. The Word document has to be in a spicfic format.
Is there a way to copy from Word and Create a Excel document that looks the same but have the functionality of an Excel spreadsheet?

Joe: Actually, you can go the other way. In Word, choose insert>object and select Excel worksheet. This will embed a worksheet in your Word document which you can activate for editing by double clicking. You can also copy an existing Excel sheet or part of a sheet into Word using Paste Special. It will also activate with a double click

if you only want to do really basic calculations in a word table there are some functions at tables/function in word. it's realy only good for one-off calcultations though, because (as far as i know) there's no automatic recalculation, so every time you change the numbers you'll have to use the function again.
