using MS Word to insert Excel Object with Paste Special Leaves unwanted 0's

 

Hello,  I am using Excel and MS Word.    we use Excel for pricing and have a nice detailed table for this,  we then copy and paste the table  (manually)  into word for our proposals.  

I want to create a link between the excel pricing and MS word.

what I did was insert an excel worksheet object into word.  
Then copied the pricing from excel
Went back to word and inside the excel object I used the PASTE SPECIAL
checked the "Link" Check box
and the data matched correctly and links do indeed work  HOWEVER....

I am left with unwanted ZEROS  for each blank cell  that was copied and pasted with the Paste special "Link" option

Is there anyway to remove these zeros?!?!?!

I do know that within Excel there is an option with File --> Options --> Advanced --> under the Display Options,  uncheck the box labeled "Show a Zero in cells that have a zero value"

but I this does not work with Word.

Any Help Please!
