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

    Thanks for your help, Nigel. My wife uses this for invoicing, so it's a pain but not the end of the world as there are plenty of workarounds. I'm sure Microsoft will fix it soon enough.

    Hi,

    I have the same issue with Word and Excel on Mac OS.

    However we have a PC for some legacy software we need to use and if you open the files using word and Excel in windows and then save the files. they seem to open and work as expected on the mac version, or at least they do for us. We only have one file where we need to do this so its not so much of an issue but may be a work around whilst we wait for Microsoft to fix something that wasn't broken previously.

    regards

    Nigel

    As a temporary measure deleating Word and downgrading it to 16.55 version has been helpful to me. But still waiting for Microsoft to solve the issue with the newest version.
