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

Do you mean how to embed it? – KCotreau Jul 7 '11 at 3:42

You can always rename the extension from .xls to .doc, but that won't really be functional.

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

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

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 Jan 19 at 16:26
