MacOS: Microsoft Word not displaying pasted Microsoft Excel Worksheet Objects

Anonymous

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:

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

Sorry. You aren't communicating with Microsoft here. There are instructions for submitting feedback in the post immediately preceding your post.

I have given feedback. I will also try the workaround, by downgrading. But how do I know when I can turn on auto-updates again?
