Fix Excel Worksheet Objects Not Appearing in MS Word
In order to rectify this issue, you will have to downgrade the MS Word app to an earlier build. For that, we will uninstall MS Word version 16.56 and install version 16.55. But before that, you will also need to disable auto-update for the Office Apps so that it doesn’t end up updating the app to the latest build. All these steps to fix the issue of Excel Worksheet Objects not appearing in MS Word have been explained below under separate sections for ease of understanding. Make sure to follow in the exact same sequence as mentioned.
STEP 1: Disable MS Word Auto Update
STEP 2: Uninstall MS Word
STEP 3: Downgrade MS Word | Install V 16.55
That’s it. These were the steps to fix the issue of Excel Worksheet Objects not appearing in MS Word. Until Microsoft releases a new MS Word that patches the issue, you should stick with this version 16.55 itself. In this regard, you could keep a track of all Office Apps Updates for Mac from the official Microsoft page. When a new update is available, then go through its changelog and if it mentions that the Excel issue has been resolved, then go ahead, download and install that build.
