Well you can do it by inserting an object, which is a excel file. Go to insert>object>create from file, and let the display as icon box unchecked. Here you can view it as a table, and if you have to edit it you can double click it and excel will open to do so.

^^ Actually, you can edit the data in the inserted sheet from Word itself... Double Click on the table and it will open up a Excel editor within the Word document itself...
