Embeding excel documents in topic

Hello,
I've been trying to get an excel sheet to embed in my topic
to no avail. Is there a way to do this or am i forced to recreate
it as a table in the topic?
Thanks for all the help you have given

If you want the Excel file to be external (and editable), you
can embed it with the parser function from Microsoft. You would
simply have the link as <A ONCLICK="parser('yourfile.xls')"
STYLE=text-decoration:underline; COLOR: green; CURSOR:
hand">Your link text</A> and then insert the parser
function, shown below, into your HEAD section.
The Excel file must be in the same folder as the CHM file,
and the user can edit the file, which could be a drawback.
My old version of RoboHelp removes this function in the
WYSIWYG editor. Hopefully newer version won't do this. This
function is necessary to find the path of external files and was
included with the very first release of HTML Help.

  • Embedded Excel in Word 2003 document Becomes Corrupt when Saved

    We have a Word 2003 document with Embedded Excel sheets in it.  When this document is saved and reopened, you cannot edit the excel tables, you just get the message "document corrupt, no longer available". 
    Detect and Repair doesn't fix it, it seems to make the excel table a picture or object that cannot be edited. 
    What is the fix for this?

    Hi

  • Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table

    Cannot search file content on Word document with embedded Excel table. I have Windows 8.1 64-bit and Office 2010 Professional. Only phrases from within Excel tables are not searchable. I have many Word documents with embedded Excel table.
    I use it for my invoices. Those invoices are converted to pdf to be sent via mail. Searching the same phrases in related pdf files Works fine. And yes, folders are indexed, searching service is active......... For example I can find all invoices that have
    specific address or name, which is located in word document, but cannot find invoices with specific item name or price, being that information is in embedded Excel table. (not linked, embedded). I thought that is a question for Windows forum, but guys directed
    me here on Office forum. To clarify, I do not use Ctrl+F inside some document, but Windows Search in my folders. Probably the same happens in Office 2013.
    Thank you.

    Hi, I have a lot of Word documents (invoices, offers). Main part of those documents is embedded Excel file because it is easier to do mathematics in Excel than in Word. There are columns with description, unit price, quantity, taxes... Now, I need
    to find who bought HP switch 2530-24G last year. I open folder with last year invoices and search "2530". Cannot find any. But if that document was converted to pdf for mail, than I can find that phrase. Windows search does not work for content if the content
    is in embedded file.

  • Problem with embedded excel spreadsheet in Word document.

    I am having trouble with a word document that has an embedded excel spreadsheet in it.  If you double click on the spreadsheet to edit it, the following error message appears:
    "The program used to create this object is Excel.  That program is not installed on your computer.  To edit this object, you must install a program that can open the object."
    I know that Excel is installed on the PC.  The PC is running Windows XP SP3 x86 and Office Professional Plus 2007.  I have tried editing the spreadsheet on a PC running Windows 7
    Pro x64 with the same version of office and it works just fine.  I cannot find any differences in the setting between the two so I do not know why it works one place but not the other.
    Any ideas?

    If you double click on an Excel file in Windows Explorer, does Excel startup?  If not, right click on such a File and used the Open with item to set Excel as the default program for opening such files.
    If you need to do that, it may also overcome the issue with the embedded worksheet.
    Hope this helps.

  • Word 2010 - embedded Excel-Object not opening

    Hi!
    All of a sudden, embedded excel-objects (insert -> table -> excel spreadsheat) in word-documents won't open when doubleclicking. Instead, I can see, that Word tries to open it for a second but then the table seems to disappear (blank document).
    When altering the view with alt-F9, I can still see the field-code though.
    {EMBED Excel.Sheet.8 \* MERGEFORMAT \s}
    When I remove the
    \* MERGEFORMAT \s
    the object opens within Word just fine and can be edited. Also, when I rightclick the object and do a "convert to excel worksheet", it opens within word - the field code changes to {EMBED Excel.Sheet.12} when doing the conversion.
    The problem is: The document is an older template and there are hundreds of docs based on that, so changing the template now is no solution (actually, I created a new one that is working, but all the old files are still affected of course).
    Everything was working fine some weeks ago - maybe an Update/SP2-Installation made some unlucky changes...
    I tried disabling Add-Ins in Word/Excel and checked the "Ignore other application" option in Excel without success.
    Any ideas appreciated!
    Best Regards,
    Stefan

  • Word 2010 with Embedded Excel table becomes oversized for RDP users

    I originally asked this question on the SharePoint Online forums as this was the first time we've seen this issue. Original Post
    Summarized: we have a Word template with embedded Excel table created in SharePoint Online, and when a RDP user opens it, the document correctly opens in the local version of Word 2010 (not Word Online).   When the table is edited, it becomes
    larger to the point you can no longer view the entire table. 
    We have done some testing with Word 2010 outside of RDP and everything works correctly, the embedded Excel table doesn't become oversized and works as expected.  It seems to definitely be an issue with RDP and I've been looking for any assistance
    on resolving this issue.  I recently did some further testing and found that the only time the table becomes oversized and not view-able is when you copy and paste information from an existing 2003 Excel document.  I would think this is the issue,
    but it doesn't happen when working with Word and SharePoint outside of an RDP environment. 
    The template is a .docx file. All RDP users are in a 2008 R2 environment.

    I did some testing over the weekend and the simple answer to your question - Not always.
    I found 2 variables which seem to cause this to happen:
    1) We have 2 TS servers - one with IE 9, which remains to maintain support for a legacy app which will not work with IE 10 or 11, and one with IE 10.
    2) Screen resolution of the client computer - it seemed that systems with video configurations which could not exceed the maximum of 1280x1024 (the same screen resolution as our TS servers) didn't experience the issue.  There were some laptops
    and higher end systems with widescreen monitors, where this was an issue.  They typically didn't have a 1280x1024 option; yet even if they did they would experience the same issue, just not as pronounced.
    It also seems to only occur when a user copies and pastes information from Excel 2010 into the embedded Excel table in Word 2010.  Again, only within RDP.  On those client computers which had the problem, I could perform the same function outside
    of RDP without any problems.  However, this is not an ideal format for the chefs as they will frequently be moving between different systems during the day.

  • Create PDF Acrobat X Pro - does not display embedded excel 2010 tables in word 2010 properly

    Hello,
    I bought Acrobat X Pro and the first document I used 'Create PDF' on was a Word 2010 document with embedded (read linked) Excel 2010 tables.
    When I opened the document after creating it the linked tables had a little arrow in the corner of a white box with a help text message of "click here to activate". The pdf is basically unusable.
    Is there a setting to ensure that these embedded excel tables are created as normal tables - I do not want to have to keep pasting in tables/images into my Word documents when they are all updating automatically.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
    Regards,
    Craig

    Hello,
    i am having exactly the same issue with Acrobat X Pro - with linked Excel 2010 tables in Word 2010.
    Has there been a resolution to this eissue - it is potentially very time consuming to work around this issue for me.
    I would post my files but I don't know how to attach them to the thread - only my second post .
    Cheers,

    This is the Word File - the table is an Excel 2010 spreadsheet linked (via Paste Special >Link) .
    This is the resultant PDF file:

  • Cannot Edit Embedded Excel SpreadSheets

    There is a user at our company who cannot open Excel 2010 spreadsheets that have been embedded into Word 2010 documents. Sometimes the embedded Excel Spreadsheet will open with a Picture Tools menu ribbon. Other times he gets an error
    message that Excel is not installed on his computer. When other users open the same embedded objects on their computers they do not have any problems. I have replaced his computer but the problem continues with the new computer. I have also logged onto his
    computer with a different user account and I do not have a problem opening the embedded Excel spreadsheets. The user has Administrator rights on his own computer. We all have Windows 7 Enterprise and Office 2010 Professional Plus installed on our computers.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance with this issue.

    Hi,
    Try this:
    ============
    1.      
    Go to Excel.
    2.      
    Click File > Options >
    Advanced, then in the “General” section, remove the tick from “Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)“.

  • Printing issues with Word and embedded excel

    we are using word 2003 with embedded excel blocks.  The issue is we have a 9040n printer in one office where the document is created, but when we come to another office and try printing the word document on a 9050 printer, the document looks different.  I've tryed using current pcl 6 drivers on both printers with no luck, and now if have ther 9040 PCL 6 driver on both printers with the same issues happening?  Any Ideas, please help!!
    Brad

    I came across your question and wondered if you could help me. I just bought a macpro with leopard and am having a heck of a time getting it to work with my design jet 800ps which is connected by usb cable. I installed the driver for the printer from the leopard cd but to no avail. The printer shows up in the printer list but when I send a file nothing happens. I have been on the phone with HP but nothing seems to make a difference.
    Thanks much

  • Finder not showing icon thumbnail for some excel documents

    I have two MS Excel documents that are, except for the data contained within, virtually identical. One was created as an offshoot of the other.
    In the Finder, the original displays a thumbnail for the icon, but the offshoot copy displays the standard Excel icon with the (XLSX) "button" in the lower left corner.
    I've tried doing a "Save As" and giving the file a different name. That didn't work.
    I've checked Get Info on both, and the only anomaly I see is that the offshoot is a larger file, despite containing fewer tabs and less data. (Curiouser and curiouser.)
    Would appreciate any ideas, as I'm stumped.
    (Off-topic: Strange, isn't it, that the form on discussions.apple.com for submitting questions doesn't allow Safari to do it's on as-you-type spellcheck? Instead you have to click a spellcheck button on the form itself! ***, Apple?)

    Hi Nick,
    Try deleting the Finder .plist file.
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.finder.plist file to the Trash. Restart your Mac.

  • Placing a multi-page Excel document

    I have a 103 page Excel document that I want to place into an InDesign document.  Is there a way to place all 103 pages automatically without having to move the place cursor 103 times for each successive page?  I tried saving the Excel doc as a "more friendly" PDF, but it will only place one page at a time (although it does load up all 103 pages on the place cursor).  I'm trying to save myself from having to manually put that place cursor on each successive page and place each page of the PDF or Excel document.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    John

    The script for placing a multipage PDF worked perfectly!  It took me a couple of days (on and off) to find this answer (which, in hindsight didn't really save any work time... but it's the principle, right?), but in the future this will make our multipage placements much easier.
    Funny, I searched "Help" for a topic on this but found nothing.  You wouldn't know the script for multipage document placings is there unless you knew it was there!
    Thanks again!  You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar!

  • Adobe Reader 9 - Can't Open Embedded Excel Links

    I currently have Adobe Reader 9.3.4 and Microsoft Office 2007 installed.  I am able to open a PDF document using the Adobe Reader software but I am unable to open embedded links to Excel documents.  I receive the message that the document you are attempting to open may contain macros, etc. do you want to Open.  I click on Open and than receive a message that Windows can't find the *.xls document.  This happens on both a Windows XP and Windows 7 platform.  I tested this same process on an Windows XP machine with an older version of Adobe Reader and the links worked fine.  Any suggestions to resolve this problem.

    The application doesn't actually integrate with Adobe Reader, it just opens it by calling it with the command line and using the filename as a parameter. The application only checks if the Reader's window raised an error.

  • Convert MS Word to PDF with an embedded Excel File Q

    I have an MS Word document that contains embedded Excel and Word files (double click these icons and you can view), how can I convert this MS Word document and still be able to view these embedded file when I convert to PDF? I'm doing the straiaght forward 'createPDF' using PDF maker, when it is finished creating the PDF you can obviously see these embedded images in the PDF file but you can't access them. Can this be done?
    Thanks

    No. Covert these other documents to pdf and attach them in the first pdf and attach them to the new pdf file.

  • OPM - Unable to compile Excel documents

    Hi,
    I get the error "Unable to compile the document '<file location>' because it does not contain the Oracle Policy Modeling macros" everytime I compile an Excel document and Oracle Policy Modeling add-in is not present in Excel even when I open the file through project explorer. OPM shows the following error: "An error occurred while opening the document '<file location>': Unable to set the Installed property of the AddIn class". Please help me with this.
    Thanks,
    Naveen
    Edited by: Naveen Mathew on Aug 20, 2012 5:39 AM

    I found this in another link showing where to check that Oracle Policy Modeling Add-in is available.
    For Office 2003 I found the add-Ins under Tools-Add-Ins
    Take a look at the Installation Guide for Oracle Policy Modeling 10.3.1. There is a topic at the bottom that has some steps that might be relevant for your situation. For convenience I've copied some of the details:
    The following is a possible workaround that will enable you to manually activate the Oracle Policy
    Modeling AddIn for Excel:
    1) Open the Excel document outside Oracle Policy Modeling.
    2) Select Excel Options from the Office Menu (circle at top left). Select Add-Ins, then find
    Manage: Excel Add-Ins, and click on Go...
    3) Place a tick in the Oracle Policy Modeling Excel 2007 check box (if it is already ticked, try unticking,
    clicking OK, and ticking it again).
    4) Click on the OK button.
    5) Try opening the workbook again in Oracle Policy Modeling.
    If the Oracle Policy Modeling AddIn for Excel does not appear in step 3, you should be able to locate
    it in the templates directory of the Oracle Policy Modeling installation. The default location is:
    C:\Program Files\Oracle\Policy Modeling\templates\Oracle Policy Modeling Excel 2007.xlam
