Hello, Tracy Thomas2

Welcome to Microsoft Community.   

I realize that you have encountered a problem with finding the option to embed a PDF file. I understand how you feel. 

Typically, you can find this option in the following location:

1. Insert tab > in Text group, select Object.
2. On the Create from File tab, select Browse...
3. Choose a PDF file, select Insert, and select OK.

Notice: the above screenshots are taken in Word for Windows.

For more information, see Add a PDF to a document - Microsoft Support

If you still cannot find this option, we may ask you for more information. 

• Which device are you using? Windows*/Mac/iPhone/iPad/Android?*
• Are you using Online Microsoft 365 or Office desktop application? If it is Office application: open a Word file **** > select File in the upper-left corner -> select Account. Attach a screenshot of this full page to let us know your Office version.
• In which Office software where you can't find the option? Word? Excel? PowerPoint?

I'd like to explain to you: The location of the option may change depending on the different versions of Office on different devices.

I hope my reply will help you. Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.
