To edit an inserted object in Excel, the correct method is to **double-click the object to open the external application** associated with that object. This allows you to make changes to the content of the object directly.
Here’s a brief description of the other options:
- **Use the "Edit" tab in the Excel ribbon**: This option does not specifically apply to editing inserted objects.
- **Right-click the object and select "Edit Object"**: This is another correct way to edit some types of objects depending on their format but may not work for all inserted objects.
- **Insert the object again with the desired changes**: This is not efficient as it requires redoing the insertion rather than directly editing.
So, the best approach is to **double-click the object**. If that doesn't work, you can also try the right-click method.
