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

    Hi StevenSpierenburg,

    I believe you are using the App Store version of Office, and this could be the reason Give Feedback option is not available. This option is available in Office apps installed from Microsoft account (https://www.office.com/)

    I understand your experience with Word for mac is not very good, in this forum, we try our best to help our customers. As you can’t turn off the auto-updates because of policy settings, I believe the only option here is to wait for the fixed version to be released. 

    Apart from this, if you have any issues related to Office apps, please post a new thread and we’ll be there to assist you.

    Happy holidays and stay safe.

    Kind regards,

    Neha

    All,

    Further to my earlier reply I hope the following is of help to others affected by this issue.

    1. Use a recognised uninstaller to remove Word. I just removed Word.
    2. Before you do this however go into one of the Office programs and turnoff auto updates. (I went into Excel and turned off auto updates).
    3. reinstall Word 16.55 from the the website mentioned by Microsoft.

    You should find that the problem is resolved provided that you don't turn auto updates back on.

    We will have to wait until Microsoft resolve the problem before we can turn auto updates on again. Personally I will turn auto updates off until I see something in the Beta updates that shows this problem has been addressed.

    I hope this helps other users. So far this solves the problem for me. All my previous documents and updates to them now display the Excel object properly.

    Regards to all

    The beta version 16.57 has been  released.  I’m doubtful whether to download it.

    Do you think the new beta version solves 

    this problem?
