How do I copy selected cells in excel and paste into word table

I am using Excel 97 as a database and want to select a specific Row, and then
Copy and Paste Specific Cells within that Row into a Word document template I
am using as an invoice. I will be doing only ONE invoice at a time. I have
been unable to create a macro because it won't let me copy more than one cell
or open another program. I am able to do it all manually by copying each
cell and then using clipboard to manually paste each item into my Word 97
Table. The data in Word must go Down instead of Across.

Reva,
Is it possible with XL97 (I have Office 2003) to consider using
Word mail merge as means of getting the data into your Word document by
creating a single record (row) with the required data and invoking Word MM
from Excel?

If this is viable, then multiple invoices are also a possibility.

Thank you for your information. It is possible with 97, but after researching
further, I ended up using a Macro.
