{
    Shape oleObject = document.Shapes.InsertOleObject(document.CreatePosition(1780), excelStream,
        OleObjectType.ExcelWorksheet, DocumentImageSource.FromFile(@"Images\Spreadsheet.png"));
    // Specify the object position on the page.
    oleObject.RelativeHorizontalPosition = ShapeRelativeHorizontalPosition.Column;
    oleObject.RelativeVerticalPosition = ShapeRelativeVerticalPosition.Paragraph;
    oleObject.Offset = new PointF(0, 0);
    // Specify how text wraps around the object. 
    oleObject.TextWrapping = TextWrappingType.TopAndBottom;
}

VB.NET

Dim document As Document = wordProcessor.Document
' Embed data from an Excel worksheet in the document.
Using excelStream As Stream = File.Open("D:\ExcelWorkbook.xlsx", FileMode.Open)
    Dim oleObject As Shape = document.Shapes.InsertOleObject(document.CreatePosition(1780), excelStream, _
    OleObjectType.ExcelWorksheet, DocumentImageSource.FromFile("Images\Spreadsheet.png"))
    ' Specify the object position on the page.
    oleObject.RelativeHorizontalPosition = ShapeRelativeHorizontalPosition.Column
    oleObject.RelativeVerticalPosition = ShapeRelativeVerticalPosition.Paragraph
    oleObject.Offset = New PointF(0, 0)
    ' Specify how text wraps around the object. 
    oleObject.TextWrapping = TextWrappingType.TopAndBottom
End Using

Open the document in Microsoft® Word® and double-click the OLE object to modify the embedded data.
