How can I copy and paste a selection from an Excel spreadsheet into a Zoho docx?

I would love to do as much of my CRM stuff as possible within Zoho, but have trouble with Zoho docs. In reply documents (attached to emails from Zoho CRM) to clients, I usually have to paste selections from Excel spreadsheets into docx files. I can do everything else I need to do by creating doxc files in Zoho, but in selecting and pasting, the Excel format is lost.

Is there a way around this to presever the Excel formatting? The formatting is preserved if I select and paste from an Excel spreadsheet into a document created in Miscrosoft Word and then upload that into Zoho Documents, but why require an extra step?
