Good evening,
I am working on a Word document and wanted to link it to an Excel table. For a while, it was processing, then a window appeared: "Word is waiting for the end of an OLE action." I clicked on X, then on "retry," then on "switch to," then on "cancel"... nothing works, I can't even exit the file!
Can someone help me?
Thank you!

Good evening,
Unfortunately, these things happen for obscure reasons! Sometimes it's a version mix-up when you have multiple versions of Office on your PC, sometimes it happens because both apps are open, sometimes... we just don't know! :( For me, the only solution is to "kill" the process via the task manager.

There is no need to send me your questions privately. I won't answer them.

Thank you for your response. How do we "kill" something using the task manager? Thank you.
Find Microsoft Excel in the processes tab and click on end task.
