Default Dropdown Selection Error

I have a problem with a word doc that has a table. I upgraded our Estimators Workstation to MS Office 2016. When he opens our proposal word doc, there should be a table with a selectable drop down table with a list of company names & addresses.
The doc was created in Word 2010. Now when it's opened with Word 2016, if he tries to use the table, an error appears stating 'Excel is not installed on this PC'; after closing the dialog box, the table section of the doc is blank. I will try to attach a copy of our proposal doc. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you,
Joe

Evidently, either Excel isn't installed on the destination PC or there is a problem with its Office installation. Regardless, the problem has nothing to do with a Word table as such and , there is no need to have an embedded Excel workbook in the document. See, for example: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...html#post46903
