Yeah, that was pretty amusing.

Well, in 2003, just put the cursor right after the headers of the table you
want, and hit "paste", and it'll paste the data from excel, then (after
thinking a bit) change the format to match the table you just appended to.
It just didn't work for me until I did the big paste in two steps. Then it
was trivial.
Just for your future information.
