If I'm working in Word (XP) and I want to open an Excel file I currently have to open Excel and browse for the file manually.
I want to press file--open in Word and browse for the Excel file from within Word and when I open it I want it to open Excel with the desired file displayed.
At the moment I think it just loads the spreadsheet into the word document.
This is because I work mainly in Word and would save me time.
Thanks,
Rik.

If you have the Word dialogue box set to Show All Files, you should be able to right click the Excel file and say "Open With > Excel". Fires up Excel with that file loaded.
Works on Office 2K for me.
