You could run this macro:
Sub Test() Dim varObj As Variant Dim n As Integer For Each varObj In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes If varObj.Type = wdInlineShapeEmbeddedOLEObject Then n = n + 1 End If Next varObj For Each varObj In ActiveDocument.Shapes If varObj.Type = msoEmbeddedOLEObject Then n = n + 1 End If Next varObj MsgBox "This document contains " & n & " embedded object(s)", vbInformation End Sub
