Dorothy wanted to learn how to insert objects into her Excel spreadsheets:

I believe i have seen a Microsoft Excel worksheet that had a Word document embedded in it. Can you explain how can i insert Word files into Excel and in general how to embed objects in Office? Just so you are aware, I am using Excel 365.

Thanks for the question. One of the key benefits of an integrated productivity suite, such as Office, is the ability to insert files into other files. Specifically, you can add Word document files into other Microsoft Office applications, namely Excel worksheets, Outlook emails and PowerPoint presentations.

So without further ado, here’s a quick tutorial that is aimed at explaining how you can embed Word objects (being a document, presentation, diagram, notebook) into Excel.

Inserting Word docs into Excel sheets

1. First off, go ahead and open Microsoft Excel.
2. Then hit File, and navigate to the Open tab.
3. Now search and open for your Excel workbook. (Tip – consider pinning files for easier access in the future).
4. In your Excel file, navigate to your the tab in Excel into which you would like to add the attachment/embed.
5. From the Ribbon, hit Insert.
6. In the right hand side of the Ribbon, hit Object (located in the Text group of the Insert tab).
7. At this point, you can either add a new Word file to your worksheet or an existing one. Select Create a new file and pick Microsoft Word as the object type from the drop down list to add a brand new document or select Create from file to add an existing file to the spreadsheet.
8. Now, go ahead and adjust the look and feel of your embedded object so it will fit your spreadsheet layout.
9. Next, hit OK.
10. And obviously, don’t forget to save your Excel spreadsheet on your computer or OneDrive.

Adding Word as attachments into Excel files

2. The process we just outlined applies for adding any type of files (including if needed, image, graphs, equation objects and so forth) into an Excel spreadsheet.
