Hi Petra

I understand your issue but I am not experiencing it when I open your file (see image).

What version & build of Office are you using? Eg I am on Office 365 and build 1803.

Cheers

Thank you for responding.

As far as I can see:

Office 365 Built 1805 (9330.2124 Kik-en-klaar).

As you are in 1803 this could be the difference. I noticed the problem only after the latest update from Microsoft.

Hi Petra

It is possible that the recent 1805 update you have might have broken your doc as there were some critical Excel exploits that were addressed which may have caused unintended side effects.

Unfortunately I don't have the latest version to be able to further test this for you.

Maybe if one of our fellow community goers has the right version to test then that might give us a better idea on the issue?

If there's anything else I can assist with, please let me know.

Best of luck!!!

Cheers
Damien

    This is getting really annoying. Do I need to open a ticket with Microsoft to get this solved? I tried inserting the excell object from scratch but the problem remains the same. Anyone?
