Tried that but the text either goes all over the place or the 4 pages from
the excel sheet appear on 1 page of word and cannot be re-formatted

Try copying the file to a new name (for safety's sake).

Then open MSWord and use File|Open to open that copy of your excel file.

You may have the same trouble, though.

If you know how many rows and columns you want, maybe this'll help:

1. Create a table in Word with the desired number of rows and columns.

2. In Excel, select the cells to be copied, and use
   Edit > Copy

3. Back in Word, select the actual table columns. That is, hover the cursor
at the top of the left-most column until the down-arrow appears, then left-
click and hold it while dragging the cursor to the right to the last column
but not beyond it. Make sure the little rectangles to the right of the
table border are not selected. Then use:
   Edit > Paste cells

(I have Excel 2003 and Word 2003.)

Try this (forgot where I got it; I didn't create it).

Sub CopyWorksheetsToWord()
' requires a reference to the Word Object library:
' in the VBE select Tools, References and check the Microsoft Word X.X
object library
Dim wdApp As Word.Application, wdDoc As Word.Document, ws As Worksheet
   Application.ScreenUpdating = False
   Application.StatusBar = "Creating new document..."
   Set wdApp = New Word.Application
   Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Add
   For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
       Application.StatusBar = "Copying data from " & ws.Name & "..."
       ws.UsedRange.Copy ' or edit to the range you want to copy
       wdDoc.Paragraphs(wdDoc.Paragraphs.Count).Range.InsertParagraphAfter
       wdDoc.Paragraphs(wdDoc.Paragraphs.Count).Range.Paste
       Application.CutCopyMode = False
       wdDoc.Paragraphs(wdDoc.Paragraphs.Count).Range.InsertParagraphAfter
       ' insert page break after all worksheets except the last one
       If Not ws.Name = Worksheets(Worksheets.Count).Name Then
           With wdDoc.Paragraphs(wdDoc.Paragraphs.Count).Range
               .InsertParagraphBefore
               .Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
               .InsertBreak Type:=wdPageBreak
           End With
       End If
   Next ws
   Set ws = Nothing
   Application.StatusBar = "Cleaning up..."
   ' apply normal view
   With wdApp.ActiveWindow
       If .View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneNone Then
           .ActivePane.View.Type = wdNormalView
       Else
           .View.Type = wdNormalView
       End If
   End With
   Set wdDoc = Nothing
   wdApp.Visible = True
   Set wdApp = Nothing
   Application.StatusBar = False
End Sub
