While I'm not sure if this will help you, I ran a repair of Office and
rebooted the computer and the spreadsheet embedded in the Word
document was once again editable in Word. This was for Office 2003 on
XP Pro, both fully patched (with publicly available patches at least).

I hope this helps!

I'm getting a similar message (see below) with Office 2007 and XP. The crazy
thing is, embedding a small (25 cell) Excel 2007 spreadsheet in a Word 2007
used to work a few months ago. Now it doesn't.

WORD ERROR MESSAGE
"The server aplication, source file, or item cannot be found.
Make sure the application is properly installed, and that it has not been
deleted, moved, renamed, or blocked by policy".

I've tried installing the suggested fix at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919066/en-us It installed fine. I tried
rebooting but I still can't make it work.

I also tried installing the SP1 for Office 2007, but that didn't fix it
either. I also tried office diagnostics (nothing wrong).

Any ideas?
