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

    What works for me at the moment is to open your Word document in Pages. There you can copy the excel object and modify in excel and put it back in the file. You can also export the file to pdf or so.

    At least a workable solution for the moment, that avoids the hassle for downgrading etc. Hopefully soon a proper update is released..

    Just a question to the Microsoft folks:

    [snip]

    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.
