Hi - I am trying to learn if Canvas and Office 365 (Microsoft Word, specifically) are still incompatible when you embed a Word Document onto a Canvas page. I've been reading some threads on this, but they are from 2015 or 2016, so I'm hoping the issue has been resolved. When I embed a Microsoft Word document onto my Canvas page the students cannot see the embedded document (I've attached what their Canvas looks like when they open up the page with the embedded document.) Is there any easy fix to this? I don't want to include a link (although I know that's an option.) I don't want some crazy workaround like saving all my documents to "sharepoint" and embedding it from there. I want an embedded document - from Microsoft Word to Canvas.
Thank you!!!
