Embedded Excel file in Word

I have an embedded Excel worksheet in a Word file (2003). In the Word file,
there is a table that is linked to the embedded Excel worksheet.

If I double-click on the table, it opens Excel and I can make changes.
However, if I attempt to do that while Excel is already running, I get a
"file not found" from Excel.

I need to widely distribute this file and I want to minimize the
instructions I will give. This will be distributed to finance people who
always have their Excel running.

Is there a work around?

Thanks

I have no problems regardless if excel is open or not, you might want to do
tools>options>general and see if ignore other applications is checked and
try by unchecking it or re-register excel under windows>start>run and type

excel /regserver

then click ok
