Problem editing embedded Excel Spreadsheet

[markd]

I have an Excel 2007 spreadsheet embedded in my Word 2007 document. When I
double-click on the spreadsheet to edit it, Word tells me I need to have
Excel installed on the computer to edit the table. BUT I DO HAVE IT
INSTALLED ON THE COMPUTER. And other Excel embedded tables in the same Word
doc edit just fine. What could be wrong? How can I correct this without
having to build the table all over again? Thanks.

How can I correct this without

having to build the table all over again?

I don't know, but I would probably try:
a. open a new workbook in Excel
b. copy the embedded worksheet
c. paste into that new workbook
d. insert a new embedded Excel worksheet in my Word document
e. copy/paste the material from the external worksheet to the embedded one
f. save the word document
g. save and close the Excel workbook and Excel
h. re-open the Word document and verify that the embedded sheet works OK
i. If everything is OK, delete the old embedded workbook
