Error when inserting – as an object – TXT or PDF file in Word (for MacOs)

When trying to insert a TXT file as an object, to be displayed as an icon (Insert-> Object -> From File (Display as icon) in Word for MacOS, the application gives the following error message:

“Server application, source file, or item not found.
Verify that the application is correctly installed and has not been deleted, moved, renamed, or blocked by policy.”

Inserting as a file (Insert->File…) works correctly.

When trying to insert a PDF file as an object, I only inserted the first page as a picture.

I contacted Microsoft 365 support who advised me to post the issue in this forum.

Thank you for any and all help.
