The other thing I would like to know if there is anywhere that I can
purchase Access 2003 inexpensively.

Connie,

For me, the easiest way is to try selecting everything with CONTROL-A in
Excel, copy to the clipboard with CONTROL-C, then go to word and paste the
data in with CONTROL-V.  this will probably transfer the data as a table,
and if people don't like that you can convert a table to columns separated
by tabs in word on the "table menu.  

You can also save an Excel spreadsheet as a text file and bring it into
Word.  Spreadsheets can be converted into many formats through the "Save As"
dialog and selecting different file types in the "type" dropdown which is
reached by tabbing once after the file name.  The difficulty arises if there
are more columns than will realistically fit on a line in word and whether
or not those using the data are comfortable with tables.  the "Formatted
text, space delimited" will print one row per line using the widths of the
columns with nothing between which some like.  

If you don't get any better offers, write to me directly.  You said not to
answer on the list, but I thought one answer might reduce the number of
duplicate solutions that you might receive.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
