Accessing excel documents fom KM

Hi all
I have a problem accessing excel documents in Hebrew from the KM.
If the document's name length is more then 23 characters (in Hebrew),I get a "This page cannot be displayed" error.
It happens only if I work with Excel 2002 (XP) version.
Excel 2003 works fine,but I cannot upgrade my ~1500 workstations now.
Last year we had almost the same problem - like this:

The problem was solved by Microsoft fix :
KB Article Number(s): 918692
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Alexander,
you could use the GUID instead of the displayname, it is unique, fixed in length and does not depend on language settings.
I guess you will have to write a custom property handler for that, but maybe this can be done through configuration only ...
That could be a workaround for your problem ...

Can no longer access excel documents

I just received my new MBP today with 10.5.2 pre-installed. Now I can't open up excel docs with my new computer. All Docs are stored on a remote computer in another part of the building.
I can still open up word docs on the network.
The message I get when I try is: "name of Doc." cannot be accessed. The file may be read only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or, the server the document is stored is not responding.
I have gone onto the host computer and made sure that the file as well as the folder that houses all the files is available to me.
I can still access the files with my older mac. I have shut my old mac completely down, so I don't have multiple computers trying to access the network with the same version of excel.
I hope i have provided enough info for someone to help.
Thanks in advance.
Rob

I am having the same problem. I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting, restarting my computer and it still doesn't work. I am able to drag the file to my desktop to open it, but It will not let me save back to the network and replace the exsisting file. Says that it can not be accessed and may be read only.
It worked for me the first week I had the computer, but then stopped. All other file types open just fine.
Please help.

it seems my subscription had expired so I signed up again.. It was still having trouble so I repeated the sign up process again.. Then it worked perfectly.. Unfortunately, I think I just subscribed twice and need to cancel one of them. Ugh. Such a pain when I'm trying to get this project completed. I'll be canceling at least one of the subscriptions in the morning. Adobe is not my favorite company right now. None of this was intuitive. And trying to get help was an absolute waste of an hour.

After hours of back-up, downloading and uploading...I am now updated with all the latest Mac software. However, I no longer have access to Excel and Word. Is there a way I can access my documents in either of those? Help, please.

If you have older versions of excel and word that previously ran under the Rosetta emulator (allows PowerPC code to run on Intel system), they will no longer work with Lion.
You can use the Apple programs Pages and Numbers to access the files. They can be bought and downloaded from the App store. NeoOffice is available at http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php which has Lion support. OpenOffice doesn't talk to Lion support, it's at http://www.openoffice.org/

Best way to access Excel & Word documents on iPad

On my iMac I have a number of EXCEL and WORD documents created with Excel / Word MICROSOFT for MAC 2011.
I want to access these Word and Excel documents on my iPad.
I am confused as to what is the best way to do this.    Pages & Numbers with iCloud ........ or ....... CloudOn, the free, cloud based service that lets you run Word and Excel on the ipad????
When we are on holidays I need to VIEW or UPDATE Excel and Word documents on my iPad and then when we get home update my iMac with any changes that I may have made.
I do not need to print from my iPad whilst on holidays, only view and update.
Has anyone had experience with Pages and Numbers on their ipad using documents created with Microsoft for Mac 2011 on their Mac computer. Does it work well and is it user friendly doing what I want it to do as detailed above?
Thanks

Thanks for that info Skydiver119.
I was hoping that if I had the apps 'PAGES' (for my Word docs) and 'NUMBERS' (for my Excel docs) loaded on my iPad that I would be able to access my documents without having to have internet access.
I understand that to get them there in the first place I need internet access and then to update back to my iMac when I get back home I would need internet access.
I am relatively new to iPad & apps etc. so maybe I have misunderstood the concept. I thought that having the apps loaded onto my ipad, would mean that my documents would be there to access/edit/update when ever I needed to.   I mean of course, as I have already said above, once downloaded either by syncing through iTunes or iCloud to start with.
Can you (or anyone else!) please help with this
Thanks

Can I upload them to icloud from a windows pc and then access them on the ipad?

You would have to do this via Purchasing Numbers from the App Store. Have iCloud Setup, and go to icloud.com > Sign In > iWork > Upload the Excel File. As long as the extension is ".doc" or ".docx" the iPad will be able to read it/edit it.

I have Microsoft Office 2008 and only use Word and Excel. It takes 980 mb. I am considering replacing it with Apple iWorks 2013. If I do, can I delete Office, and still access and modify my Word and Excel documents?

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.

I can not access my excel documents why?

I have saved Excel documents on my Mac, however I can no longer open them why? Word and Powerpoint are working fine. What do I need to do?

Hi. Nothing has changed, we have not updated any software When I try to open the Excel document which is saved I get the microsoft error reporting message wayting that microsoft excel has enocuntered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If I then try and click on Excel itself either from the dock or from the tool bar it will not open, a message comes up saying Excel saved changes to the file before the application qit unexpectedly. Do you want to open the last saved version of this file? It make no difference if you click cancel or open.
Therefore I am unable to create a simple spreadsheet as excel just will not open.
Word and Powerpoint I said earlier were fine, however this is only if you open from the tool bar. From the dock nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Oh I can in finder quick look at the document and all details are there, I just cant open it.
Thanks

What do I need to do to open Office (word AND excel) documents, PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Office 2011? Please advise :-)

What do I need to do to open Office 2004 (word AND excel) documents? PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Happy to upgrade to iWork or Office just to be able to access my docs from Office 2004 again - please can someone advise? Cheers.

Hi - thanks for this info. Actually I have downloaded a 30-day trial of MS Office for Mac 2011 and it reads/writes. But I was expecting that if I saved it again, either as xls oe xlsx, then I would be able to open the newly-saved document in iWorks '08. This is not the case, any ideas why? cheers, Matt.

How can I insert photos to excel documents from iPad?

I need to find a way to edit excel docs from my iPad. I have found numerous apps that work great. The thing I'm having trouble with is editing or inserting images or art into the spreadsheets as you can with excel.

A simple and popular way to copy files. Also, has shared folders.

How do I access a document that's stored on iCloud from my iPhone?

I have an excel document stored on iCloud and I'd like to be able to access and edit it from my iPhone. I can not figure out how to do this! If I go to iCloud.com on my iPhone it gives me 3 options 1. set up iCloud on this phone 2. Install Find My iPhone 3. Install Find My Friends. I already have iCloud set up on my iPhone and it's backing up and doing what it's supposed to. If I go to iCloud.com on my Mac I can sign in and see my document. Just can't figure how to see that document and edit it from my phone. Any ideas???

It's a Numbers (excel) document. So, I have to have that app first? When I went to iCloud I could download an already existing .xls page without having to have that app (it was just part of iCloud) - and I don't have Numbers on my iPhone. Is there any way to view and edit what's on my iCloud?

Import Word/Excel document option greyed out

For a class assignment I am instructed to import a Word document using Import -> Word Document. The problem is that the option to import Word & Excel documents is greyed out. Yes, I have the destination file open when I try to import the document. This does not change even if I create a new, blank HTML file and try to import the document into that file.
My system:
Dreamweaver CS5
Microsoft Office 10
Windows 7
64-bit processor
Could this be an incompatability with 64-bit system? That's the only thing that's out of the norm on my computer. Is there something that I can change to make this option work on my system?
Thanks.

Ok - I received a response from tech support (it's been a while, but I figured that this might be helpful to someone else with this issue).
Drumroll, please:
"Office 10 came out after Dreamweaver CS5 & is not supported"
Unfortunately, the free Adobe technical support is staffed by who are not technical experts. The answer that you received is complete nonsense.
Office 10 is the XP version of Microsoft Office, which was released in 2002. Office 2010 is actually Office 14.0.
Like you, I have Windows 7 64-bit. I also have Office 2010 installed.
I have just created a test document in Word 2010, and saved it on my desktop. I then opened Dreamweaver CS5, made sure the focus was in Design view, and then selected File > Import > Word Document. The file was correctly imported.
As I said before, it's important for the focus to be in Design view. The following screenshot shows an attempt to access Import > Word Document when the focus is out of Design view. The option is greyed out.
I then clicked inside Design view to ensure the focus was in the correct place. As the following screenshot shows, the options for Word and Excel are no longer greyed out.
Importing Word documents in Dreamweaver CS5 on Windows 7 64-bit definitely works with Word 2010. If it's not working on your system, there's a problem with your installation. It's not a bug in Dreamweaver or lack of support for Office 2010.

Can I synch Word/Excel documents?

I'm running OS X 10.9.5 on both a iMac and a Macbook Air. I'm new to the use of iCloud, so bear with me. I'd like to synch Word and/or Excel documents between my two Macs (i.e., edit the file on either Mac and then have the latest version of the file available on the other Mac), but it appears I'll need to wait for Yosemite to do that, right?
If I log on to iCloud.com and click on the "Pages" icon, I get the following message:
"To use Pages, you'll need to upgrade your account to iCloud Drive. iCloud Drive will allow you to store any file in iCloud and access it any time, on any device."
BUT, the message goes on to say: "Important: If you upgrade, you won't be able to access documents in iCloud from devices with IOS 7 or OS X Mavericks. You'll need to install iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite on the following devices..."
This sounds a bit like a "Catch22". Since Yosemite is not yet available, the message seems to be saying, in effect: "to use Pages (to store a document) you need to upgrade. If you upgrade you won't be able to use Pages"
I'm confused. Any help is appreciated.

With MacOS X Mavericks on your MacBook Air and iMac, you should be able to use "Documents in The Cloud".
But it works only with iCloud-enabled apps. You would need to open your Word Documents with Pages and the Excel documents with Numbers. Pages and Numbers can store documents in the cloud and they would be synced to your other Mac.
If you want to keep the Office documents as Word documents, but still sync them in the cloud, try Winston Churchill's user tip. You can create your own iCloud drive, see this link: Using iCloud to sync multiple document types.
https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_mac/content?filterID =contentstatus%5Bpublished%5D~objecttype~objecttype%5Bdocument%5D
This will only work, if you did not upgrade a mobile device to iOS 8 and enabled iCloud Drive on that device. In that case you will have to wait till Yosemite will be released.

How do I access word documents when I load Lion?

How do I access my Word and Excel documents when I download Lion?
Bob

There shouldn't be any problem accessing them, unless you have an older version of Office such as 2004 and earlier. In that case, you'd need to update them, or switch to iWork (Pages and Numbers) which can read those files.
