What you see initially is how the output will appear if you print 
your text document. You can, however, browse and edit the spreadsheet 
material. Just double-click the inserted object or use right-click | Edit.

There are many ways that you can paste spreadsheet material into a 
text document, which you can access using Edit | Paste Special... (or 
Ctrl+Shift+V) instead of ordinary paste. You may want to look in 
particular at "DDE link". Note that some styles maintain a link 
between the two documents (but which can subsequently be broken), so 
that modifications to the spreadsheet are carried into the text 
document. You may want to experiment to compare the effects of the 
various techniques.

Probably not.

I trust this helps.
