When I closed my Microsoft Word document and reopened it, I saw when right-click on the tables in Word which had been linked to a Excel file, there is no “update link” option and it is replaced by a menu item called "object", and when I click on that, an error pop up saying "This object is corrupt or no longer available". This problem has been discussed here. I followed the answer, pressing CTRL+A +F9 simultaneously. After doing that, all the Word main text has been hidden and just footnotes and endnotes a are visible. Any help would be highly appreciated.
