Excel: Exporting Excel graphs/tables (with borders) to Word

Dear all,

I'm new to this forum and also to investment banking - so this will for sure seem like a novise question. I'm looking for some tips on how to export graphs and tables from Excel into word and don't ruin the formatting, and still have borders attached above and below the graph/table.

Please refer to attached image from the McKinsey book (best example I could find on the fly - should preferably had been a graph inside it, but I guess most will understand). In particular I'm looking for some tips on how to get the borders, headings and citation into Word without pasting the copied area as a picture.

My strategy so far has been to make the borders and heading/source text in Excel and then copying the whole "area" this involves into Word and pasted it as a picture, but I realize that this is extremely stupid if something changes in the data etc..

Any tips/help?
