Advantages of using Word over Excel when creating tables?
Word has specific facilities to create tables, which Excel does not. Excel is already in a tabular format, with its columns and rows, but Word allows you to do a table of a specific amount of rows and columns. It will also automatically allow you to have borders on it. If your table is purely for text, then Word is better. Word can do calculations in tables, something many people do not realise, but Excel is better for doing them. You can copy and paste a table with calculations from Excel into Word. You can then use Word to add some extra elements in formatting. Word is good for having more formatting for text that you may have in a table. If you want to mix a table with large amounts of text, such as having a report that includes some tables in it, then Word can deal with that very well. You can position the table within the document in whatever way you want. By just having some borders showing, you can use Word's tables facility to design different kinds of diagrams and charts that have a structured layout. So unless you have a large amount of numbers and calculations in your table, Word is a better option than Excel.

What is the difference between a pivot table in Microsoft Excel and a table in Microsoft Word?
They are radically different. A table in Word, just displays your data in a tabular form. A pivot table has a lot of functionality, enabling you to do things like calculations, picking different types of calculations, switching the table layout, changing what pieces of the data that it is based on that you use. Pivot tables are used to analyse data and simply manipulate the results as you do so. Tables in Word can actually do simple calculations, something many people don't even realise, but they can't do the same kinds of things a pivot table can do. Pivot tables are closer in their function to a Crosstab query in Access, than to a table in Word.
Advantages software can Excel be integrated with Word?
Excel and Word can be integrated. You can have some of the spreadsheet appear as a table in Word. If you set a link between them, then when Excel updates, so will the Word document. Word does have the facilities to do its own calcuations in tables, but they are limited and so Excel is better. So if you want the figures in a Word document and to keep them up to date as they change in the Excel document, then a link is the way to do it. You would copy the data you want in Excel, and then do a Paste Link in the Word document.
