Insert Excel ranges in Word

Use a named range when you want part of a worksheet inserted into Word as a picture.

1. In the ExcelToWord workbook, select the cells to export and give them a workbook-level name, such as rngSummary, using Excel’s Name Box or Name Manager.
2. In your Word template, select the placeholder area and use Insert > Bookmark to name it Summary. Save the template.
3. In the Excel export table, add or rename a placeholder column to Summary. Enter rngSummary in that column for each document that should include the range.
4. Run Export to Word. The range is rendered as an image and placed at the matching bookmark.

The mapping is Word bookmark Summary → Excel column Summary → cell value rngSummary. Use the exact same bookmark and column names; double braces are only for ordinary text replacement.

The inserted range is a picture, so its individual cells are not editable in Word. On macOS, this is also the alternative to Excel table export.
