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.

Specifically, you can add Word document files into other Microsoft Office applications, namely Excel worksheets, Outlook emails and PowerPoint presentations.
