Embedded Excel Table in Word doesn't work

Question

I use the embedded excel table in word documents but recently it stops to work.

I've tried all steps and advice only, but none of them works. When I try to open the table the message I have is the one below

"The server application, source file, or item cannot be found. Make sure the applications is properly installed, and that it has not been deleted, moved, renamed or blocked by policy"

Other people from my organization can use it as normal, only me and a couple of work colleagues have this same problem.

I appreciate the help.

Dear Aline Lima,

Good day!!

As per the description shared, I understand you have embedded the data in the Excel workbook into the Word document and when you double-click on the embedded table, you are encountering an error message.

If my understanding is correct, as many users in your organization are not having the problem, please check whether there are multiple copies of Office apps.

Go to the Control Panel> Programs> Programs & Features> See whether there are any multiple copies of Office apps.

If not, please open the Excel application first and try to open the embedded table to see whether it opens without any error.

If still same problem, please perform Online Repair to the Office apps to see the outcome. Reference: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/repair-an-office-application-7821d4b6-7c1d-4205-aa0e-a6b40c5bb88b

Thanks for your co-operation.

Regards,
