I cannot offer any help with this yet, but I can tell you my find and replace function freezes after I click any button (find all, find next, close). When I click another program in the taskbar and come back, it is normal again. This happens
every time I push one of those buttons.

Creation of PDF from Excel 2013 - problem with black color

Hi,
I am a publisher of crossword magazine and I use Excel to write crosswords. Then I create PDF's and import them into InDesign.
In past I used Adobe printer and it works fine with Excel 2000 and 2010 (only these two versions I used in past) Now I switched to Excel 2013 and when I use Adobe printer to print crosswords into PDF problem occurs with lines done in Excel (insert - shapes - line). I use black color for these lines but in PDF they appears as rich black (TIC 300%). Why it is not 100% black? I know that Excel works in RGB but in past I was always able to change settings in printer profiles (Adobe printer) to reach 100 % black without CMY colors. Now I have no idea. I attached picture of pdf how it looks in Adobe Acrobat in Outpur preview.
Thank you in advance for any advice

These are tough issues I suspect and the answer you need is probably trivial (it is finding it). I will make some suggestions, but I have no idea if any will work.
- In the printer under the Properties>Layout>Advanced>print quality, I use 300 dpi (default is 1200).
- Under the printer preferences>settings>edit the settings file, I use again 300 dpi (default is 1200 dpi).
These may not fix your issue, but migth be worth a try. You could also try using the preflight script to change to gray-scale. It may not make any changes, but again may be worth a try.
All I am trying to suggest are the things I would be looking at. Maybe they will lead you someplace. Others may be by with better suggestions in time.

SAP Office Integration Excel 2013 problem - dummy window pops up with inplace

Hi experts all around the globe,
we are facing a strange problem by some of our users since they have installed Excel 2013 on their PCs. An annoying Excel sheet pops up while generating an excel file in the background.
They are working with several Y (or Z if you like it better so) transactions, and create multiple Excel files (Excel.Sheet.8 -> .xls) in the background. The programs are using Office Integration (interfaces I_OI_CONTAINER_CONTROL and I_OI_DOCUMENT_PROXY) to create the files.
Method OPEN_DOCUMENT is called with the parameter OPEN_INPLACE, modified, and then closed with the CLOSE_DOCUMENT method, then saved with SAVE_DOCUMENT_TO_URL. The document gets only assigned to a dummy container, this means under normal circumstances the user shouldn't see anything - the file gets created, modified and stored in the background - end of the story. The programs are like 10 years old, and have been doing good since then.
Now some of our users reported, that they have an issue when generating Excel files with those programs. We have investigated / debugged, and here is the thing: in several cases when the method OPEN_DOCUMENT is called, an empty worksheet pops up (see attached screenshot). It also gets in focus, and then in 1 sec is it closing again (as the CLOSE_DOCUMENT is called). This is really annoying when the user has to generate hundreds of Excel sheets (it is quite often the case). The window gets opened and closed with every single file that gets created.
We have tried to identify the problem, but it is user independent, the SAP GUI, Office and Windows versions seem to be all the same - though it appears by some users. The most of us work with SAP GUI 730 Patch level 4, but upgrade to Patch level 9 has also not solved the problem. We have found the notes 1908528 and 1804535. They address similar problems but not exactly the same. We think it has something to do with incompatibility of the releases, or simply an Office / SAP setting we could not think of.
Has someone encountered the same? Any ideas?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Boldi

Hello Daniel,
thank you very much for your reply, it is really appreciated.
We have SAP GUI 7.30 Version 7300.3.9.1084 Build 1496147 Patch Level 9 on the test machine. This one should be the latest available version, am I right?
The issue is a little bit different from the ones described in the SAP notes you suggested. The data is getting "correctly" displayed inplace, but Excel is also getting called up in the same time, and an additional emtpy sheet is displayed, which gets in the focus, disturbing the user. It is just like described in the SAP notes 1425448 and 1567380
To 1425448 (Solution Point 2 below): this is our standard setting, and it does not help us.
To 1567380 (Prerequisites): there is no macro in our sheet.
We could reproduce the issue with the standard report SAPRDEMO_SPREADSHEET_INTERFACE (this is the one suggested in SAP note 1908528 - "Verifying that Excel inplace functionality is working correctly"). The SAP GUI overtakes the focus after a while, as described in the SAP note 1567380, but the empty sheet is active at first, and it is a little bit more than annoying.
How is it on your side, could you please run the standard report (EXCEL, checkbox for inplace set, then Enter) to confirm that the problem exists?
Thanks a lot in advance and have a nice day!

Excel 2013 Problem: couldn't open excel files-Notice: There isn't enough memory

1. This occurs only on my Lenovo laptop.2. The total RAM is 8GB, and the operating system on this laptop is 64-bit.3. Windows 8.1 + Office Professional Plus 20134. After a fresh boot, I still get this message when using Excel spreadsheets ONLY.5. This just happened now with spreadsheets successfully used over a period of time.6. Even when I try to open a blank file, this message pops up.Actions taken:1. Increased virtual memory size from 1408 MB to 4586 MB, nothing changed.2.

Update to Excel 2013 causing a problem with Sage 500 ERP import feature

I work in an accounting office that relies heavily on importing data from Excel into Sage 500 ERP accounting software. We recently began updating from Office 2007 to Office 2013. Now we are running into a
huge hurdle as we find Excel 2013 no longer supports MDI, and has moved exclusively to SDI. This is a problem for us, and here's why.
Sage 500 has a "Data Porter" command which launches Excel, but opens a blank workbook in Excel. After triggering the Data Porter, we open a previously saved Excel workbook containing our data, select the "Add-Ins"
tab, and click the appropriate button to begin the import. In Excel 2007 this works because the workbook with the data opens in the same "window" as the blank workbook.
In Excel 2013, the workbook containing the data can only be opened in it's own new window which has not established the line of communication with Sage 500's Data Porter, and the import function is not available.
So far the only workaround we have found is to right-click on a tab in the file containing the data, click "Select All Sheets," then "Move or Copy" them to the new blank workbook. The import into Sage 500 is successful when
we do that. However, we need to save the workbook with the updated import information returned by Sage 500, so we must also do a "Save As" for the new workbook, assigning the same file name as the original data file, overwriting
it. This makes what used to be a simple procedure quite cumbersome, and we fear the risk of data loss may be significant.
Is there any way to make this process work the way it does in earlier versions of Excel that support MDI (Multiple Document Interface)?

Is there any way to make this process work the way it does in earlier versions of Excel that support MDI (Multiple Document Interface)?
At a glance, it seems the answer might be...No.
Note
There is no MDI compatibility option in Excel 2013.

You should contact Sage, to see if they have solutions/suggestions, but I think it will require Sage to re-develop the Dataporter Add-in ?

Problems with black color creating PDF from Excel 2013

Hi
I want to create PDF from Excel 2013 using Adobe Acrobat distiller. When I do so I have problem with black which is 300 percent black instead of 100K. Problem is only with drawed lines from Excel's symbol menu (text is fine).
I use Acrobat 9 Pro and few days ago switched from Office 2000 to 2013.....and problems started.
Office 2000 and Acrobat 9 Pro worked ok and everything including drawed symbols like lines or squares were 100K black in PDF. Now in the case of Excel 2013 it is not so but when I use export function included in Excel and export file to PDF output is 100K. I am not sure if this kind of export is good for me. I use PDF's as inputs to InDesign. So I would like to have more control when create PDF from excel. But in Excel setup I can choose standard and minimum size and that is all.
I imported Adobe PDF Settings from computer where these settings worked with Excel 2010 but they do not do same job for me in combination with Excel 2013 (I have 300 black).
To explain my workflow:
I am a publisher of crossword magazine and I use Excel to write crosswords. Then I create PDF's and import them into InDesign.
Should I use internal export included in Excel 2013? Are these PDF's ok for working in InDesign and finally for print purposes?
Or If you have any suggestion how to create PDF via Adobe Acrobat distiller setup (which I prefer) please give me advice.
Thank you in advance

Problem with Excel 2013 TaskPane

Hello,
I got problem with TaskPane on Excel 2013. With Excel 2007 and 2010 my program works perfectly.
I'm opening a workbook and making custom ribbon, but my workbook is hided and the problem comes that first time i can see TaskPane but after any other workbook opening and closing i can't show TaskPane because Globals.ThisAddIn.SarasuTaskPane.Visible
= true don't showing me TaskPane. Actual it's showing but we can't see it because it's hided with workbook, and if i unhide workbook i can see and use it. But i need my main workbook to be not visible for all time and users must see TaskPane.
I will try write step by step.
1. I'm launching .exe which creating excel object
2. With Excel object I'm opening .xlsm which sheets are protected and not visible, and Run my Sub
3. That Sub loads my COM AddIn, and opens another .xlsm file (at the moment there are 2 .xlsm files opened)
4. My Add-in creates TaskPane, and TaskPane adds on my first .xlsm file(i noticed), and it's fine i can see it. But then i try some of my functions which sets TaskPane visible - false, and opens another .xlsx file then closes it, and trying to do TaskPane visible
- true no errors but also no TaskPane, then i Manually unhide my first Workbook i can see the TaskPane, when i hide it manualy - TaskPane hides too.. and this only on Excel 2013.
Any ideas to solve this? As i mention before with Excel 2007 and 2010 no problems it's works perfectly.
sincerely,
Julius

I have used you code to hide a panel , it works fine

On Excel 2013 (64 bit), I can't use the Analysis ToolPack add-ins without a problem and plot the residuals.

On Excel 2013 (64 bit), I can't use the Analysis ToolPack add-ins without a problem and plot the residuals. It went crash.

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
Do you mind telling us the Excel version number? Like 15.0.XXXX.1000
Would you like to collect the Event Log and App Crash dump file to do further troubleshooting?
As far as I know, if Excel crashes when using Analysis ToolPack add-ins, it usually causes by the >>Faulting module name: mso.dll<<, Please try the following method and check if it is helpful:
1.Copy/paste the Mso.dll from another PC.
2.Click "Start" and "Computer."
3.Double-click "C: Drive," "Windows" and "System32." The System32 folder opens.
4.Drag the Mso.dll file on your desktop into the System32 folder.
5.Click "Start," type "cmd" into the search field and press "Enter" to open the Command Prompt.
6.Type "regsvr32 mso.dll" (without the quotation marks) into the Command Prompt and press "Enter."
7.Close the Command Prompt and restart your computer.
Then, if the Faulting module name is not MSO.Dll, you also can upload(Or send to us via email
[email protected]) the Event Log/App Crash dump file. We'd like to do further troubleshooting.

Excel 2013 connect to a cube, and Power View concatenate the column name by default

Hi Guys,
Currently, we met a problem with excel services to connect to a cube, when we develope a Excel 2013 Powerview report, the data model column name is concatenate into terrible name by default. e.g. Dim TimeDate Date, Dim TimeTime HierachyYear -Month.
But when start up the data model with Powerpivot, everything gone well. We knew that it can be manual update the name as workaround, but we need to do it every time we create a new powerview with the data model.
Is that any other solution we can do with?
Please help.
Johnny

Excel 2013 Data From Web not working with SharePoint 2013?

In Excel 2013, on the ribbon select the 'Data' tab and 'From Web' to import data from a web page. Navigate to a SharePoint 2013 site with a table on the home page and you will not see the table import arrow on the table. With SharePoint 2010 you would have.
Any suggestions on a workaround/fix?
One thing to note, in SharePoint 2013 be sure to disable the Minimum Download Strategy feature on the site or you will get script errors in the New Web Query dialog.
Also, I realize this may belong in an Office/Excel forum so I have posted it there also.
Thanks, Fintan

Hi Fintan ,
According to your description, my understanding is that the Excel table import arrow disappears in the SharePoint 2013 page.
For your issue , I can reproduce your scenario in my SharePoint 2013 environment. It should be caused by the Excel Data connection from web page feature cannot identify the page layout which is
used by SharePoint 2013 . For a workaround, you export the HTML table using jQuery:

Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+F6 still not working in Excel 2013?

I am using Windows 7 64-bit. I just switched to Office Home & Business 2013 (32-bit), and I discovered that ctrl+tab behavior in Excel 2013 is incredibly broken.
If you are using any other programs concurrently with Excel, then it makes switching tasks through ctrl+tab impossible. Switching workbooks in this way has unpredictable behavior: often, Excel will switch to a workbook that is hidden behind other windows
(fails to foreground the window correctly). Even when it appears to be switching appropriately between windows, the order of switching is wrong: rather than cycling through all windows, it seems to switch between workbooks somewhat randomly.
See similar issues discussed here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/f288d91d-835a-48c4-a39c-738ca05002c4/ctrltab-and-ctrlf6-not-working-properly-in-excel-2013?forum=officeitpro
and here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-excel/cycling-between-open-windows-using-ctrlf6-or/7314b632-7f48-44f1-8e96-7d7000ac86d8
There does not appear to be any solution to this issue so far. I have attempted to repair my installation of Microsoft Office, but it did not correct the problem.

Hi Dlup12345,
Based on my testes with local environment (Windows 8.1 and Excel 2013:15.0.4675.1000), the two Keyboard shortcuts worked as expected. In my view, this issue might be occur with Keyboard shortcuts, because you said the issue occurred intermittently. If we
only open multiple Excel files without other program, the shortcuts should worked fine. Please check if other program affected Excel shortcuts.
If you have any update, please feel free let us know.

Excel Merge Cells.vi throws an undefined error in Excel 2013?

Basically, I can't write text into an Excel spreadshoot using the Report Generation tools.
Using LabVIEW 2013 (SP1) I am writing to individual cells in an Excel (2013) template.
The error is coming from the Report Generation Toolkit>Excel Specific>Excel Easy Text.vi.>Excel Merge Cells.vi.
Inside of the "Excel Merge Cells.vi" is an "Invoke Node.Range". When the program hits this point, it throws out an undefined error.
My code has been running on multiple platforms in multiple programs with no problems using Office 2010.
NASA upgraded our Office Suit to 2013. I am now throwing an undefined error ( -2146827284).
I've got a service request in and have talked to an engineer. THey are looking at the problem. However, I thought I would throw it out here and see if anyone had seen this particular problem.
Bryan Alexander

Problem found, workaround implemented.
When you use the "New Report.vi", you have to wire in one of four choices for the state of the window. "Maximized", "Minimized", "Normal" and "No Change". If you use the "Excel Easy Text.vi" to insert data into an Excel 2013 Spreadsheet, it will generate an error if you opened the Excel file in "Minimized" mode. The other three states work fine.

Excel 2013 hangs while trying to open a file from network share

Hi,
I am having issue opening excel file from a network share. it happens randomly, the file opens and hangs abruptly. Nothing happens after that ( we can only move the cursor), if we click on the excel sheet we get a beep sound. after i kill the excel process
and open it again ,it works fine.
Where did the member use the Excel file? Local disk, SharePoint, File server, or network shared disk?
       Network shared file and sometime locally
Does the issue occur in the special file or every file?
      it happens randomly and the whole excel freezes. i have to kill the excel session.
Which Office version is the file created? Excel 2013 or early? If it is XLS format, please try to convert to XLSX to test.
   Network file server has office 2010 and the user is trying to open it in excel 2013
Does the file have some macros?
Yes, they have macros in some files
Does the issue occur recently? If it is, have you installed some programs or update before you encountered it?
       it happened before too.
Do you get some error message when Excel crashed?
Yeah. Attaching the error message from event viewer. We get file corrupt errors and below too.
Please suggest

Hi Suren424,
Since your first image showed that "To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel." Please go to this path (Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Action Center\Problem Reports)
to check the detailed information, and you might upload the screenshot or info here.
Then, please try the following methods and check if they are helpful:
1. File --> Options --> Advanced --> uncheck "Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)"
2. Turn off "Protected View" --> (File –-> Options –-> Trust Center --> Protected View --> Uncheck all options
3. I notice that >>Network file server has office 2010 and the user is trying to open it in excel 2013 <<, it also might be caused by the Microsoft Office File Validation for Office 2010, please try to change setting in server with
