My experience with Word 2000 compels me to say don't
embed the spreadsheets. If you can, leave the
spreadsheets separate and available through other
means, and just refer to them in the Word doc. If you
can't do that, extract the information you need from
the spreadsheet and put it in the Word doc as tables.
Embedding the spreadsheets will cause the file size to
swell and will contribute to instability and crashes.
If your doc goes to people who for some reason have
Word but don't have Excel, embedded spreadsheets will
be useless. And there are backwards compatability
issues - if your doc goes to people with earlier
software versions, they may be unable to open embedded
spreadsheets.
