Excel table in word pops out to edit

[teeger]

I used to be able to edit excel tables I inserted into word while within the word doc. Now when try to edit the table it pops out into an excel spreadsheet and when I close it updates the table in the word doc. All this is fine. The issue is now when I try to add columns or rows it makes other columns or rows disappear on the table in word. So whatever the original amount of columns or rows are I can’t add anymore. I used to be able to just drag the border down or over to add com or rows. Now that just makes it bigger. I need to either get it to go back to the old way or find a way to add columns or rows in this new pop out method. Anyone else experience this or know a fix?
