Text in Word Black‐Out How to

Word can be idiosyncratic when it dynamically embeds an Excel spreadsheet.

If dynamic updates are not required, and the expanse of the desired cells is not too great, insert a graphic image of the portion of the Excel spreadsheet that you want to display instead.

In Excel, select the cells that you want to display in Word.

With the Shift key held down, select Edit from the main menu.

This brings up an alternative menu, one option of which is to ʺcopy picture.ʺ

This puts a graphic of those selected cells onto the clipboard.

Move your cursor to the desired insertion point in Word, and select Edit/Paste.

The graphic is inserted as a ʺpictureʺ that can be resized and remains relatively stable (At least as stable as any other graphic in Word) throughout additional document editing.
