I'm running Word version 16.56 and Microsoft Excel Worksheet Objects is not displaying at all either in old .docx files which contained them or when I try to paste it into new files it simply beachballs. FWIW I am running Excel version 16.54.

Is this a known bug?

I chose the 'Current channel (preview)' box and then checked the update automatically boxes and it automatically updated to the 16.57 version of Word. That solved the problem with the embedded excel table.

Jeg håper det fungerer for deg!

Cheers

    Just a question to the Microsoft folks:

    The latest Office Update has a serious bug which is know for two weeks with no fix being available. The only remedy known so far is downgrading to the last released version (16.55) which does not expose the bug. As per your download page, that means installing an unsupported version ("Only the most recently released version listed below is supported.").

    Are you serious? If the current version has a serious bug impeding many of your customers, why don't you just pull back the current update until a fix has been found? What new features did 16.56 bring that justify this? I don't see anything that couldn't wait for another two weeks. So the only valid reason would be security issues. But if the current version fixes a major security issue, you wouldn't possibly recommend rolling back our installations to a vulnerable version, or would you?

    I am sorry, but you should either fix this ASAP or pull back 16.56 if you care for your customers.

    Regards

    I am having the same issue, I have tried the possible work around of installing V16.55, however am still experiencing the same issue of excel not displaying in word.

    Update: I turned off auto update and reinstalled V16.55 seems to have solved the issue for now.

    Hi, Philip.

    It seems You have to uninstall Office before you install Office.

    Alternatively, You can revert to the previous version of only Word .

    1. To prevent the rolled back updates from being automatically updated, choose Help at the top of the screen > Check for Updates > Turn off "Automatically keep Microsoft apps up to date"
    2. Close all Office apps.
    3. Open  [ Finder ], [ Applications ] and Put the " Microsoft Word " app to the Trash.
    4. Open [Library] by selecting [Go] from the menu, and move the following files in [ Containers ] to the Trash.

    Microsoft Word (for macOS 10.15 or later)

    com.microsoft.Word ( before macOS 10.15 )

    5.  Move the following files in [Library]-[ Group Containers ] to the Trash.

    UBF8T346G9.ms

    UBF8T346G9. Office

    UBF8T346G9. OfficeOsfWebHost

    1. From the Dock, put the Word app to the Trash.

    7.  Download and install  < Word 16.55 **** > from the update history of Office for mac .

    1. Start Word and see if the problem goes away.
