Excel table embedded in a word file not recognized

Question

Dear community! 
 I have a project made up of many word documents with lots of excel tables embedded: 
 
 So I have lots of tiny tables like these and a BIG problem: since they are not read by Trados (usually they are with no additional configuration), I have to go through every document and type these definition, most of them repeated, manually. 
 In the configuration of the project, Studio, by default, uses version 2017-2019 for embedded excel elements: 
 
 And the file properties say that all my docs are word 97-2003: 
 
 Maybe the reason is this versions conflict?.... It&acute;s really time-consuming going through all those docs and opening each and every table and typing the same again and again...Will be so grateful for help!!!!

 I guess first you should make sure you have this option checked prior to creating your project? 
 
 If you already have then you could try saving it as a DOCX, or even play with this app?
