I've a user working with embedded Excel tables in Word 2007. This is a
document on a file share, and used by others. In the case of this user,
about
a week ago the embedded Excel objects stopped displaying in the document,
instead a placeholder "Embed.Excel" is displayed (or something similar).
If
he switches to Reading Pane mode, the Excel tables are displayed. I've
tried
an Office repair and re-install, with no change. I don't see any settings
to
control the display or embedded objects (other than options for when they
are
Inserted).
