Excel can't save in a Word format but it can output a Text file. Just use
File> Save As & select Tab Delimited Text (.txt) [or one of the other
formats if appropriate] from the Format: list. The resulting file can be
opened in Word & saved as a Word document. Some considerations:

Only the data will be included - no formatting, no graphics, and only the
results of calculations [not the formulas, and

If more than one sheet, each sheet must be output as a separate file.

Alternatively, you can select & copy the sheet content then paste into a
Word document [see Edit> Paste Special in Word for options).

Yes, you can.

Two ways:

To save an existing Excel file as a Word document:
Open Word
In word choose Insert > Object > From File (don't link).

To create a new Excel document in Word
Open Word
In Word choose Insert > Object > Microsoft Excel Sheet
