Can't open embedded object spreadsheets in a task for editing

[Guest]

Using the suggestions in "Take back your life! Using Micosoft Outlook to get
organised and stay organised" (Sally McGhee, Micosoft Press), I would like to
list my supporting projects under my Objective task with a ranking, due dates
and person assigned (same with tasks and subtasks under my Project task).
Rather than having all this information as free text, I would like to insert
this information via an embedded excel document or word document (ideally it
would be good to have a table function inside the task). I can use insert
object and enter data into an embedded spreadsheet, but as soon as I click
out again, I cannot go in and edit it.
The other option is to hyperlink or attach a file, but I really want to see
the information on the face of the task to sort and copy and paste to other
tasks etc- not have to open up a separate document.
Any ideas why I can't edit the spreadsheet once embedded? Right click open
or edit functions are greyed out, and the Edit | Worksheet Object | Edit or
Open function doesn't seem to do anything.
Any thoughts out there?

I have also faced this problem and posted my question Sep-6, 2006.
Can add that if Excel worksheet or Word doc is inserted into Calendar
(rather than Task), it works fine! And if one copy it from the Task (where it
cannot be edited) and paste into Excel/Word - it also works normally!
Will be grateful for solution of the problem!
