Hi, 

My Excel-DNA XLL add-in that installs IntelliSense causes issues when Excel worksheets are embedded in Word. After saving and reopening the Word document:

The embedded Excel worksheet cannot be edited.

The Excel process remains running in the background.

This happens because IntelliSense hooks Excel’s UI/COM events, preventing the embedded Excel instance (launched by Word) from shutting down properly. Normal Excel works fine, but embedded Excel becomes unusable.

Do you have any solution for this problem?

Regards,
László
