create target or placeholder for imported excel document?

[LeShoe]

I have a Publisher 2002 document that contains a table created in Excel and
pasted into the document. This spreadsheet data is periodically renewed. I
delete the old table and paste in a new Excel document created by a
coworker. Is there a way to create a placeholder or target for pasting the
spreadsheet into the same position? I'm spending too much time moving the
new spreadsheet into position each time.

Now in Publisher, I select table>delete table>
In Excel, I select and copy the spreadsheet
In Publisher I paste. The new selection pastes mostly off the template onto
the work area. Then I drag and move it into place. Because it's legal sized,
I have to scroll up and down to be sure I'm in the right position.
TIA for help!

Try this. Choose Object from the Insert drop down menu and
check From File and then browse to the file that you are
inserting.

What is stopping you pasting it as an OLE object?
