It depends on the purpose for the table. If you make frequent updates, then excel is much better, but if you make a table one time, then it does not make much difference.

Can tables in Excel be used as tables in Word?

You can copy a table in Excel and paste it into Word. You will lose any formulas, but the resulting values will be retained. You can also link a Word document to a table in Excel, which will allow changes in the Excel table to be maintained in the Word document.

Are tables a major part of Excel?

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.


Can you write music in Excel?

It is not designed for that purpose, so you would not use it to do so. You could write words and manually write musical notes, but the use of the traditional symbols associated with music are not practical to create in Excel. So there are better applications for this purpose.
