Don't paste, import. Select File > Import > Object. In the Insert Object
dialog, check Create from File, and browse to your Excel file. Check
Link and click OK. 

One caveat: FM 6 obviously preceded Excel 2007, so you'll probably have
to save the Excel file in an earlier format (97/2003 or maybe 5/95)
before you do this. 

HTH!
