Go to Insert > Object. Click the Create From File tab. Check the option for
"Display as icon", click the Browse button and choose the Excel file, and
click OK.

To open the attached file in Excel, double-click the icon in the Word
document.

Just found the answer to my own question. This is how you do it

goto to insert > object > select "Create From File and tick where it says
Display As Icon. Find your file > click insert and press OK.
