How to Change View of Excel Created in a Word Document?

G

I have to create lots of excel tables WITHIN a word mac document
(note- I did not say I create outside in excel and then import or cut
and paste). In word, I click insert object, and create a new
spreadsheet within the document. Let's say it has columns headed
2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 and I put data below this is the rows
below.

Question, how do I select what is actually seen in the word document?
Suppose I only want to see in the word document the items in columns
2002, 2003 and 2004 and two of the rows below, but not anything in
column 2005 or the rows below it?

Now, suppose I decide to change my mind later and only want to show
columns 2002 and 2003 and the data in just the first row below them.
How do I fix it so only they will be shown? In Word for Windows this
was all so simple, but being a newbie to Office Mac I am totally
stumped and need help.

As you can tell from my dumb question, I just cannot figure out how
select what shows and does not show and how to change this when
needed. Everytime I ask this question the only answer I get never
deals with my original question but instead says to instead create
what I want in excel sheets outside and then either cut and paste, or,
import. I really appreciate those answers and those help, but I do
not want to do that (I have detailed reasons why this is not a good
solution in my instance), so my question deals strictly with the item
I have created in the document itself. Thanks much in advance for
help.

Gentleman, I have gone back and reviewed some answers to my earlier
posts on this issue again and it looks like there must be no way to do
this, so unless I am wrong and someone has any ideas on this I
respectfully my question and apologize for bothering the MVPs. Does
anyone know, from the reviews they have seen of the new Office 2008,
if the ability to change this view is now included?

You are *not* wrong. That, unfortunately "is what it is".
and someone has any ideas on this

I'm afraid there really are no other ideas to offer.
I respectfully my question and apologize for bothering the MVPs.

No bother - at least you took the time to go back & review the answers
previously offered - that's more than many will do:)

I've not seen anything official on enhancement of OLE in Office 2008, so I
wouldn't hold my breath in eager anticipation.

Yes, we know. No, we're not allowed to tell you yet. But it's bad news :)
