cannot edit inserted Excel worksheet in Tasks

In a Task, I insert an object like Excel worksheet or Word document. Once
inserted, it cannot be opened for further editing! This is a problem!
When clicking on it with right-button of mouse, the menu shows Edit and Open
lines, but they are grey-coloured and don't work. Double-click also doesn't
work.

But, if I similarly insert same Excel or Word objects into Calendar, it
works fine - editing is possible.

Even if I copy the worksheet from a Task (where it cannot be edited) and
paste it into Word or Calendar etc, it works fine again - information in
cells keeps safe and can be modified.

Thanks for your help!
 
I had the same problem. I could not paste the object from my task to Excel,
but as Vladimir hinted, when I pasted it into MS Word I could then
double-click on the object and manipulate it as an Excel worksheet.

I copied the cells to an Excel Worksheet, saved the file, and then attached
the file to the task and deleted the old object.
