I am using MS Office 2016. (Office 365)

I have a Word document that has a Visio drawing embedded in it. I need to edit the Visio within the word document.

I right click the Visio drawing and click Edit option, It will open the Visio Application.

Is any option available for that.(Editing visio within word document)

How can I do that without open the Visio application? 

I want like this.

Thank you.

    1. Click by left mouse button on embed Visio object - for select this object.
    2. Click by right mouse button - for open object's context menu.
    3. In context menu select line Visio object, click it.
    4. In new daughter context menu select line Open.

    PS may be at your PC you have other names of context menu strings. I have Word with russian language

    Also you can enter in Edit mode just double click on  embed visio diagram. 

    IMHO this mode not useful, because visio diagram opened into small rectangle. I bored work with this mode!

    Just now try options: Edit and Open.

    Open

    Visio application open in new window. You have full size window.

    Edit

    You get mixed window. MS Word it is all which placed above ribbon. And most part is MS Visio. Like as on your screenshot! It is not MS Word ribbon.

    Thanks for your Answer. But this is not my expected answer and I already known this. I want Edit option within word. See the attached image (It took from Word 2010).

    You can not edit embed Visio document without open Visio application! Do you have installed Visio at your PC?

    If Yes, remember when you change embed visio diagram in word documents, you make changes only in local word's copy of this diagram. Not in source visio document, from where diagram was embed to word document!
