I am having an error with the excel table I put into word. It was working fine and I created it but then all of a sudden it wont let me access it and says

" This program used to create this object is Excel That program is either not installed on your computer or is not responding. To edit this object, install excel or ensure that any dialogue boxes in Excel are closed."

  • Excel is installed
  • No dialogue boxes

-Did a repair

-Restarted computer

-Checked trust setting and anything that could interfere.

-Recreated the excel table same error

Any suggestions?

Microsoft 365 and Office | Word | Other | Windows
