How do you save an Excel document as a Word document?

I was hoping someone could tell me how to save a Microsoft Office Excel document to the Microsoft Office Word document format?

What you need to do is cut/copy-and-paste each page from the Excel workbook into the Word document, and then save it in Word.

No need for cut-and-paste , copy-and-paste will also work – Wishwas – 2015-06-12T05:41:22.100

I hope there is a better way than this but I think this trumps copy and paste. Save it as a PDF then save the pdf as word. still hoping for a better solution but it seems microsoft didn't consider switching among its own formats

@cpast You'd lose all this if you convert any XLS to DOC anyways. – music2myear – 2017-03-01T00:16:24.337

The trouble with that would be that you lose formulas and relationships between cells, which are one of the main purposes of a spreadsheet. – cpast – 2013-01-19T16:26:25.990

A possible way is...open word and select INSERT...then SELECT TABLE...search for excel document.
