How to Enable Data Editing of Chart in Ms Word?

Hello. I use Aspose.Words in Java and a DOCX style file to create line and column bar charts and export the whole thing to a DOCX file. The file has everything in it, the text, the tables and the charts. The problem is that when I right-click on any of the charts I can make style changes and stuff, but when I click on “Edit Data” or “Edit Data in Excel” it doesn’t do anything. I click it again and nothing, no errors. Do I have to enable data editing somehow?

I attached a DOCX file with the 2 charts. They appear in the second page

Thank you for your time
