In Word jargon, these are called objects. Generally, to open them, you need the program that reads the file on your computer (Excel, Acrobat Reader, etc.)

Ok, objects.

I have excel, acrobat reader, word, etc all on my pc. These individual programs work ok

But when I open a word doc that has objects inside...i can double click on them and they won't open. All I get is a highlited box around the object

If I try to copy paste a object.. nothing gets pasted.

I just reloaded office 2016 but still having the same issue with objects

Any idea to try would be grateful.

Oh, these objects have worked before....just not sure what changed
