BPC and Office 2007 documents

Question

Is the following statement true:
"Documents created / used by BPC should be in the Excel 97-2003 format"  
I am on the SAP Basis team and new to BPC. We are in the development phase of implmenting BPC 7.5 Patch 6 on Netweaver .
The desktops are running Office 2007 and Office 2010.
I resolved an issue last week for a user that was trying to open a template that was saved in an Excel 2007 format and it would not open.  I have another user telling me that his BPC locks up whenever he attempts to open an Excel 2007 "Marco Enabled Workbook" - this is a *.XLSM file. I have two other users telling me that their BPC session "freeze" and need to check with them as to what exactly they are doing when this happens.
Should I be telling my end users that BPC only supports Excel 97-2003 documents and that they should be saving their BPC related documents in this older format?
Thanks in advance for your input

Hi,
As Sanjeev said ,  that SAP BPC 7.5 supports MS office 2007 and 2010.
one scenario  is that If you save the file in MS office 2003 and then try to open in MS office 2007 it will give that kind of error.
Another scenario  is that once they installed BPC client and then they upgraded the MS Office to 2007 or 2010 it will give problem.
To solve this :
Re-install MS office first then install BPC Client.
Hope this will help youu2026
Thanks,
Devi
