Hi,
Did the issue occur when you opened the file that stored in the local disk or a network?
If the issue occurred with the local disk file, please try the following method:
Word
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.12\Shell\Open\Command                
Rename Subkey “Command” to “Old_Command”                
Rename Key “ddeexec” to “Old_ddeexec”
Using FileType Manager change .xls from Word.Sheet.8 to Word.Sheet.12 In the Open Command appended “%1”  
.docx In the Open Command appended “%1”  
Excel
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.sheet.12\Shell\Open\Command                
Rename Subkey “Command” to “Old_Command”                
Rename Key “ddeexec” to “Old_ddeexec”
Using FileType Manager change .xls from Excel.Sheet.8 to Excel.Sheet.12 In the Open Command appended “%1”  
.xlsx In the Open Command appended “%1”   
========
Next, if the issue occurred with network file, the issue may be caused by the Office File Validation, please try to turn off it to test.
For Excel 2013
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Excel\Options
Look for a DWORD value labeled DisableRobustifiedUNC set to a value of 1. If this is set on your machine, it's recommended you delete this value or set the DWORD value to 0.

  • Message Error : Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is not installed - Office Home & Business 2013 - Lync 2013

    Hi,
    I have an issue related to Office h&b 2013 and Lync 2013.
    Office h&b is installed on many computers, and we are deploying Lync 2013.
    In Lync 2013 it's possible to share Powerpoint presentation (if you have a Office Web Apps server installed).
    With a PC using Office Pro 2013, no problem. Powerpoint sharing with Lync 2013 is working.
    With a PC using Office H&B 2013, I have a message : 
    "XXXXX.pptx couldn't be converted for presentations because Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is not installed on this computer. Please
    install VBA and try again."
    VBA is installed and usable in all Office applications.
    Office H&B is a click to Run installation and doesn't permit to add or remove features.
    Lync 2013 custom install permit to choose the installed features. VBA is already installed.
    I searched in many forums, including this one, and... no answers, or better say, no good answers.
    Because :
    - It's not possible add VBA from Office H&B 2013 install.
    - Repairing Office does not solve the problem.
    Any Idea ?
    Thanks for your help !
    Regards
    Stéphane

    As far as I know, Lync 2013 is not available with Office Home & Business 2013, you can check

  • Office 2013 OEM and Office Home & Business 2013 registration

    Hi to all,
    in our company we brought some Office 2013 OEM licenses and 1 Home and Business 2013. The problem is that i have registered the OEMs with my personal Microsoft account and now i need to register the Home and Business and i want to avoid to register it with
    this. Then, my questions are:
    1. What is the procedure to register a Microsoft company account.
    2. Is there the possibility to move OEM license from my personal account to a the company account ?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    I noticed that the questions were about licensing rather than Office client issues, please understand we discuss questions and feedbacks about Office client in this forum, we are not familiar with the procedure/migration you mentioned.

  • Word and Excel hang "downloading" file from network drive - copy file to be able to open it

    Word or Excel hang trying to open files on a network drive maybe after an untidy close.
    Symptoms:  pick the file from a pinned entry on recent list or even direct from File!Open... or by double clicking on the file from file explorer.  Word/Excel show in the middle of the status line a comment "Downloading:filename "  
    a progress bar, that shows no progress, and a white cross on a red circle to close.  Some minutes later may Excel/Word  say could not open filename.
    I have removed any temporary copies of the file prefixed with the ~. However there are no documents shown in any document recovery pane.
    If I rename the original file the problem is still there.
    I can only clear the problem by working on a copy of the file. It works with either a new name of if the copy is used to replace the original file.
    It seems file explorer's "copy" is clearing something within the file that is causing this problem.
    I have seen the same issue with both Excel and Word documents in native Office 2010 format.
    Is there a better way to clear this issue?
    Thanks

    Just adding to what CSound has said.
    Pages and Numbers will change Word and Excel documents when they open and close them.
    Sometimes the change is subtle and sometimes not. With the latest versions of Pages and Numbers, more likely not.
    So don't think you are going to work with MsOffice files without problems. You will always have something not right and in some cases really annoyingly not right. Like having all the text from Pages appear bold in MsWord, or page breaks in the wrong place or some objects and graphics not appearing in one or the other.
    If working between different Operating Systems and MsOffice files, I also recommend LibreOffice. It opens and saves nearly all file formats. Unfortunately not .pages or numbers. Yet. The folks at LibreOffice are busy adding to it all the time, and making sure it works in all Operating systems, Mac, Windows and Linux and they are promising iOS as well soon.

  • Problem in opening of word and excell files downloaded from email attachment in MS office professional 2013 paper licence

    I should further say the files I sent are .xlsx and .docx files.  They look fine my end and I send such files all the time without problems.
    However, I did try to cheat by going in via the Safari onto my 'live' online email account and the Safari automatically transfers them to winmail.dat files with the same result.
    Ahh - have just been on using my PC this time and you are right, it seems that the service provider does the transfer and then when my outlook opens the file (on the PC), it must reconvert to .xlsx etc again.
    Very strange.
    Ergo, I guess the question should be how I open wimail.dat files ??

    Acrobat 9 - we are unable to merge word and excel files into

    To be expected if you are working in a contemporary OS and contemporary MS Office suite.
    The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into End of Support mid-year of 2013.
    The product isn't compatible with contemporary OSs or Office suite.
    You may have to step up into the Acrobat XI product family.

  • Are operating files only within Windows (C:) or are Word and Excel files ok in Documents and (C:) folders in 8.1?

    A Microsoft tech said "oh-oh" when he saw Word and Excel files, and I think other files, in Windows (C:). He said only operating files should be in that folder or a user might delete an operating file by mistake. I have Word and Excel files in
    both (C:) and Documents folders. There is some overlap but there are different files in each. When I open a Word file it defaults to (C:) not Documents. Sometimes default location is SkyDrive. So unpredictability is my experience. The questions are what is
    correct default and how to make it so.
    Microsoft store in San Diego transferred files from old computer to new one and this default is how the computer was set up.

    Hi, Tyro.
    What a mess. Usually system files in the Windows folder are protected from being deleted by users, but not all of them.
    Here are some ideas:
    Go back to the Microsoft store and tell them to fix it. They caused it, it was their mistake, they are responsible to fix it.
    If that is not possible because they are too far away... find another Microsoft Store if possible and have them fix it.
    Last resort: If it was me, I'd just back up all the files that I care about onto my SkyDrive (now OneDrive) account or a reliable thumb drive. Then do a factory re-image. Maybe back up the files and make the MS store do it. If I had purchased Office
    2013 (it sounds like you have Office 2013), then I would have them reinstall that as well.
    Keep the store involved because it is their fault.
    At least call the MS store in San Diego and ask them what they suggest. Put them on the spot. They are the ones that screwed up and are responsible for the copying process.
    Good luck!
    Best wishes, Davin Mickelson

  • Outlook 2013 won't open Word and Excel attachments

    Had a new PC set up with MS Office 2013 programs.  Outlook 2013 Word and Excel attachments do not open.  Program opens, but to a blank screen.  This includes my attachments created on the same computer.  Boxes in "Trust Center"
    are unchecked.  Problem persists.  It is possible to save the attachment, then open Word or Excel and see the saved file, but this is time consuming and annoying.  Outlook 2013 should just open its attachments from the message without a thousand
    extra steps.  Thank you.

    Hi Gish,
    Thank you for your question.
    Did this issue occur in OWA?
    We could open outlook->File->option->Trust Center ->Microsoft Outlook Trust Center->Trust Center Setting->Attachment Handing->Attachment and Document Preview…
    Then we make sure all option have check. And didn’t uncheck “Turn off Attachment Preview”, or rebuild the profile to check if the issue persist.
    If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know. 
    Best Regard,
    Jim

  • Unable to save MS Word and Excel 2010 and 2013 onto the network share

    Hi,
    I have read similar cases, but did not work out on the problems we face.
    We are using Office 2010 and Windows 7 and it seems like only this combination will encounter saving problem on the networe share (but local / removable disks are fine) - 
    Other combinations:
    Windows XP and Office 2010 - no problem
    Windows XP and Office 2003 - no problem
    Windows 7 and Office 2003 - no problem
    In Microsoft Word 2010, when saving a new document, it will save but create a 0KB file in the network share drive and I notice the blue menu bar of the Microsoft Word 2010 still displays "Document1" instead the new file name.
    And only when I click save icon or exit button, Word actually prompts another "Save As" dialog to save the file, and as a result, I have to save the same file and answer MS Word prompt to replace the existing file - and this is the real time that
    the document and its contents really got saved. And the blue menu bar then displays the actual file name.
    In Microsoft Excel 2010 (also Powerpoint I suppose so), in saving a new excel file, after typing in a file name for the new file in the network share location, it will prompt a dialog box indicating the "File is currently in use"
    Similar to MS Word, it will still create a 0KB file in the network share, and only a second time saving and replace the 0KB file, is able to save the file again. 
    I have tried a lot of ways from Safe Mode, Disable Add-in, Added Trusted Locations to the network share in MS Word and Excel, Uninstall Antivirus software, redo NTFS permission on the network share server folder, etc but the problem cannot
    be solved.
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
    Kind regards,
    Daryl

    Thank you Max.
    I have tried various storage configurations and share the folders out in Windows Servers and grant user accesses with AD.
    These drives configuration involves iSCSI drives, using NAS drive, using internal SAS RAID drives in Windows 2008 servers, all having the same errors, but the latter one was having the most errors almost every first time the users
    save their files (includes saving from email attachments), the files will get 0KB.
    I have tested LAN cables, switch LAN points in panels and switches, and comes to no avail.
    I have patched with the latest office updates (the latest being Office 2010 SP2) also to no avail.

  • How to save .pdf file using office word and excel

    Can someone help me how to save .pdf files using office word and excel?  I reinstalled my adobe 7.0 pro in my new pc and before I was able to do it but with my old pc.

    For anything after Office 2003, you have to print to the Adobe PDF printer. If you installed AA 7 on OS newer than XP, you may have to do a workaround to get it to work. With later versions of WORD you can always use the MS plugin for creating PDFs.
