I keep getting this error message: "Publisher cannot launch or communicate with the OLE server program..."

I keep getting a message when I attempt to paste an Excel chart into Publisher. It worked fine all the other times I performed this task. I have tried all the other solutions on previous forums but to no avail. Help?!?!

Publisher cannot launch or communicate with the OLE server program needed to complete this task.

I tried reregistering the OLE server. I tried clearing my internet cache. Nothing.

Any other suggestions?

Thank you for your time in reading this post and answering my question.
