Import color schemes to Excel 2010

Hi, Everyone
I really need your help for Excel 2010.
For excel 2003, when I import color scheme from another excel: on the menu bar>tools>options>color
tab in the "copy color from" box, click the down arrow and select the workbook which contains the color schemes
Then I can find and use the color imported.
For 2010, Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Excel Options. Click on Save.
Under 'Preserve Visual Appearance of the workbook'
Click on Colors
Click on 'dropdown box' of Copy Colors from and select the file I want to copy the colors from and click OK.
Click OK to close the Excel Options dialog box.
In Excel 2010, I cann't find the color imported in the color palette, nor use it of cause.
If you have any idea, please don't hesitate put your answers, I really need the solution for it. Thanks in advanced

Hi,
I tried the following and it worked!
To copy your existing colour palette to a document or template in Excel 2010:
<dir>
Open the file (containing the existing colour palette to copy) with version Excel 2010
Go to tab "Page Layout"
Click on the Icon "Themes" (Themes menu)
Go to the bottom page and click "Save current Theme..."
Give a name with extension *.thmx (e.g. "mycolours.thmx")
The theme will be available to use and copy in other existing Excel documents repeating the actions described.
For new documents the recommendation is to create a workbook or a template.
</dir>

Cannot import color schemes with kate 14.12.1

Could someone please confirm that with the newer version of kate it's impossible to import color schemes (.kateschema files)?
To import a scheme the standard procedure is:
Settings -> configure kate -> fonts & colors -> import...
However, when I check the directory where my schemes reside kate does not see the files. I checked bko but I have not found any bug about this issue.

I guess you are referring to kate 14.12. I can confirm it.
Also the open file dialog isn't the dolphin one. Also you can;t choose the encoding when saving a file. Can you confirm it too?
confirmed.

I tried with the same scheme you linked and it didn't work... I copy/pasted the text into kate and saved it as nightsky.kateschema, then tried to import it but it did not work. Did you do something different or (just asking) are you running the git version of kate or some other component?

Colors change in Excel 2010

Hello,
I am helping a customer that has a strange problem in Excel. Ill explain it by taking you through some steps.
User opens Excel and creates a new file not based on any templates, just a standard new workbook.
By using the standard theme (she is not changing themes) the user then changes the fill color of a cell. She picks a color from the theme colors section, but NOT from the top row. For example a light gray color from the leftmost column of colors.
She saves the file in the standard file format (Excel Workbook (*.xlsx).
She closes and reopens the file.
Now the fill color of the cell has changed, and when checking what color it has changed to it is the color on the top row of that color column in the theme. In the above example of light grey it would open as white.
We have not tested on all machines in the user environment, but everything points to that all users in that company is facing the same issues. So it seems to be an environmental thing as its unlikely that many users simultaniously are facing installation
problems or the like.
Any ideas?

Color Schemes delivered with Outlook are terrible

Sorry, I don't know of a nice way to say it, but the as-delivered color schemes for Outlook 2010 are horrid.
All 3 of the colors are very difficult to read. What happened to the nice legible look of the demo? Is there a way to have button outlines for that good old "organized" look, or is the wave of the future this "floaty" look? I sure hope not. This looks look
like it was lifted from a Mac.
Sorry to sound so negative, but this just seems like a big step backwards.
If anyone has something helpful I would appreciate it, but I'm guessing the answer is that this is just how it is.

The new color schemes in Office 2010 are awfull.

of transperans

with

I myself am
a web designer,

it is therefore
incomprehensible, that
a company

these
issues.

Changing default color scheme when exporting ALV report to Excel spreadshee

Hi all,
We have a bunch of FI reports created using OOPS in abap. Each of the reports has the functionality to be exported to an excel spreadsheet. When exporting to Excel, the headers are a very dark brown color, making them difficult to read and it has been requested that they are shaded a lighter color. I have not defined any sort of color scheme within the report itself, and I was wondering if there was a way to change the color scheme when exporting the report to excel. Let me know if there is anything that can be done, thanks!

Excel 2010 ignores print server's default color settings.

Excel 2010 ignores print server's default color settings.
Our Setup:
Printers are hosted on Server 2008 R2 Print Server.
Two local printers are created on the print server for each Xerox MFP that we have.   Example: Xerox MFP (B&W) - Default settings are set to print black and white only.    Xerox MFP
(Color) - Default settings are set to print color.     So for every MFP we have two printers are created.
Both variations of the network printers are deployed to the users with the Black and White version being the default.    If a user needs to print something in color, they select the Color version of the MFP printer.   This
helps us save on color toner costs.
This works great for web applications, Microsoft Word, Adobe Reader, and other applications.   But, it doesn't seem to work in Microsoft Excel 2007 or 2010.   Whatever the default printer is of the two versions that are deployed,
excel seems to hold onto those printer settings.
Example: If your default printer is Xerox MFP (B&W), when you select Xerox MFP (Color), it still retains the Black and White selection in the printer properties. However, if you select a completely different model printer such
as Fax, and then go to  Xerox MFP (Color), it will pick up the necessary default color settings.
If I install the printers locally on the user's PC/Computer, it works perfectly.   However, it doesn't work when they are utilizing the print server's printers.
Things that I have tried:
Different drivers for Xerox. Global, PS, PCL.
Different brands of printers.   Still experience the same issue.
Different port names.
Different protocols, raw versus LPR.
Different versions of excel, 2007 and 2010.
Looked through group policy to see if I could force it.
Checked the excel sheet settings, black and white only was not selected.
Tried most of the printer properties settings.
Created a Server 2012 print server and experienced the same result.
Xerox's custom configuration file editor.
*Something to note, if I have the black and white version utilize PostScript Drivers and the color version utilize PCL driver, it correctly loads the color settings.   However, if you utilize Postscript for both versions, it doesn't.
I have to vary the print drivers. Ideally, I don't want to have to do this because I want consistency between prints.

Hi,
Make sure you have the latest printer drivers - go to the manufacture's website, download and install if necessary.

Cell/Background color changes when copying to other Excel 2010 document

When you copy and paste report cells (e.g. CO report outputted in Office integration, MS Excel) to a new Excel file, the background color changed dramatically (to bright red).
SAP Theme: SAP Signature Theme
Excel 2010
We tried paste option > match destination formatting but does not help.
Anyone has similiar problems? Appreciate any help.

dear friend,
you would do:
1. search SAP Notes;
2. check out the updates/patches for your MS Office;
3. replicate it on another computer/another sap user (make sure it is a local issue)
good luck!

Skip a column when importing a text file into Excel 2010

Hi,
I have a formatted Excel 2010 spreadsheet that I want to import data from a .txt file located on my local drive. The third column of the spreadsheet is a concantenate formula that converts the second column from a Hex formatted value to a Dec formatted value.
I want the first two columns of the text file to import into the first two columns of the spreadsheet and skip the third column then import the remaining columns from the text file to the spreadsheet. Is there an easy way to do this or do I need a VBA code
and if so can you provide that to me?
Thank you,
Jennifer

Hi Tony,
I am sorry if I didn't express my issue more clearly. Where I need to skip a column is in the Excel spreadsheet. I want to import all the columns from the text file. I want the first two columns from the text to import to the first two columns in the Excel
sheet A and B, skip the third column C in the spreadsheet, where I have a formula to convert the second column B values from a Hex format (imported data) to a Dec format, then continue to import columns 3, 4, and 5 from the text to spreadsheet columns D, E,
and F. I would think the function would be in the Excel spreadsheet maybe some type of protection setting or something similar, if it can even be done.
Thank you for taking the time to help me out with this.

Using Acrobat X and creating a PDF File from EXCEL 2010, I notice that the Pagination restarts at 1 for each Worksheet included in the PDF.

I use Acrobat X Standard and created a PDF file from two or more worksheets using EXCEL 2010.
The resulting PDF file restarts the PAGE # (In header/footer settings of Excel) at 1 for each worksheet.
However, a colleague of mine who has Acrobat X Pro version, using EXCEL 2010 and same exact file does the same task, he gets a file that starts at page 1 and second worksheet continues the page # from the last page of the First worksheet.
We both are using the ACROBAT menu (not the print to Adobe printer) to create the file so that we can get Bookmarks included in the resulting file for each worksheet.
We cannot figure out any option in Acrobat's preferences that controls the pagination on either of these versions of Acrobat.
So is this just a feature that works one way in Standard version and another way in the Pro version, and the user has no control over it?

This is so sad. I read your comments and I said, "Huh?" Haha!
I tried the indexed color option and it did make the final file smaller. Around 600KB. But there's probably another way to make it even smaller like the gazillion-paged pdf file that I mentioned that was only about 300KB.
And by saying a layout program, does that mean like Adobe InDesign? Does that mean that I should just make my graphics in Photoshop and then import using another program and finish the file there?
What other layout programs can I use?
Thank you so much!

Trying to connect Excel 2010 to Oracle

Hello,
I am trying to connect Excel 2010 directly to the Oracle database at work. I was hoping to combine VBA and SQL to automate queries without having to use SQL Developer or the bespoke enterprise software to then export the data into a spreadsheet. I have downloaded the ODBC driver and installed it onto my PC. I have tried to configure the connection and the tnsnames.ora file but it will not connect (I can get the exact error from work tomorrow).
I have an XML file that contains all of the connection details (such as the ports, passwords and the server name) for the databases that I need to access. There isn’t anyone who can help me at work as the former IT manager has left and my current manager has very little technical knowledge.
The network is managed by a different part of the business at an external site containing all of the servers. Although I have an administrator account, it is very restricted so I cannot use the command prompt but I can install software.
I would be grateful for any advice. If it helps the operating system I am using is Windows Vista 32-Bit. I am unsure which version of Oracle we are using (it might be 10g but is there anything I could type into SQL Developer that would display the version of Oracle I am using?).
Many thanks in advance and sorry for probably not explaining things very well,
Matt

I think I am going to give in with ODBC for the time being and I don’t want to waste any of your time.
Just to make everything clear in case I missed something important out:
I ran the select banner from v$version statement and retreived:
Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.5.0 - Production
"CORE 10.2.0.5.0 Production"
TNS for 64-bit Windows: Version 10.2.0.5.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.5.0 - Production
I originally installed the latest version of 11g ODBC and reinstalled it as I didn't think it was working. I then installed 10g version today but I couldn't find ODBC.exe file like I could in the 11g version.
I can't get the tnsnames.ora file off the database server as I can't connect to it. I know the server name but I think I may be restricted from accessing it as the network and user accounts are really locked down. I read somewhere when I was searching that there was a way of generating the tnsnames.ora file which would be quite useful as there wouldn't be any mistakes.
Like I have mentioned before I can’t access the command prompt and the only way I can connect to the database is through SQL Developer (which I have all the connections for in an XML file).
I tried the ADO method and it didn't work, but after getting home and trying something I know how to resolve the ActiveX Objects related error I was getting, so maybe I could get this method to work.
It is just frustrating that I know this could work but things aren’t as simple as I thought although the advice I have received has been really useful. Thanks for all the help.

How to make Excel 2010 save a HTML report as a file without a folder created

We have a HTML report generated by Oracle Report with headers as below:
<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
In Excel 2010, after pressing the "save" button (not "save as"), it will by default save the report as web page format instead of xls, a folder "xxx.files" containing some css, xml and html files are created
in it. If user deletes the folder carelessly, the excel report cannot be viewed at all.
In Excel 2003, we can save it directly in its original format simply by pressing the "save" button, without creating a folder. May I know if there are any options in office 2010, macro or registries settings that can make
Excel 2010 to do the same as Excel 2003 when pressing the "save" button? Thanks!

Hi,
According to your description, you want a workaround to avoid creating a new folder when saving a html file in Excel 2010.
In my opinion, this issue is more related to the feature of HTML format or Excel 2010 application rather and I don't think we could resort to a macro or registry settings to avoid that. I suggest you posting it in
Excel IT pro forum for more effective responses.

32-bit...64-bit...Excel 2007...Excel 2010...nonetheless a .xlsx File

My head is spinning...soooooo here's the deal...
The client provides us a .xlsx File. Now I have no idea how this is created and saved...via Excel 2007...Excel 2010
When I attempt sourcing the .xlsx File in my SSIS Package I get the error "External Table is not in the expected format"
Sooooo, I figure I'd write a C# Edit Script to read .xlsx File and Save it as a .xls file using the following syntax...
string StrFileName = (Dts.Variables["User::FileName"].Value.ToString());
StrFileName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(StrFileName);
string StringSourceFile = (Dts.Variables["User::FilePath"].Value.ToString()) + StrFileName + ".xlsx";
string StringDestinationFile = (Dts.Variables["User::FilePath"].Value.ToString()) + StrFileName + ".xls";
// This initiates the Excel Application
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application excelApplication = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
// This Opens the Source .xlsx File from Emdeon ePaySmart
Workbook workbook = excelApplication.Workbooks.Open(StringSourceFile, XlUpdateLinks.xlUpdateLinksNever, true, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
// This will Save the Source .xlsx Emdeon ePaySmart File as a .xls File...note xlFileFormat.xlExcel5
workbook.SaveAs(StringDestinationFile, XlFileFormat.xlExcel8, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, XlSaveAsAccessMode.xlExclusive, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
// This will Close the Source
workbook.Close(false, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
// This shuts down the Excel Application
excelApplication.Quit();
Note xlFileFormat.xlExcel8
Now this worked PERFECTLY client side. Then when I created a SQL Server Agent Job it blew up and from what I read the SQL Server Agent Job does not like running dynamic Excel commands.
Soooooooo now I'm back at the drawing board and figured I'd use OLE DB to source the file.
I am using this Connection String for the .xlsx File
string StringConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + sourceFile + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1\"";
Now I understand that the OLEDB.4.0 Connection string is incorrect for a .xlsx File. (Which is why I probably tried to do this with dynamic Excel commands to begin with)
Now comes the chicken and the egg problem...
If instead I try using the OLEDB.12.0 Connection String it tells me it isn't installed
My network, copied Microsoft Office 2010 installed is 32-bit
So if I try to install the 64-bit Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 it tells me I have to Uninstall Microsoft Office 2010. Well that is not possible
So my question is this...How in God's name can I try and process this .xlsx File??? I am at a complete loss here.
I did come upon this Posting previously...in italics below but it fell short in terms of providing a solution.
Can anyone please help me out here?
Thanks in advance for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

When I create my connection manager to connect to a .xlsx file, I get the error message that says:
"Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. External table is not in the expected format."
The provider selected was the ole db "Microsoft office 12.0 Access Database Engine...", and in the All tab I entered "Excel
12.0" at the top where it says Extended properties.
Here is the stumper:
My import package(s) has (have) been running manually for the last 2-3 weeks, but now i've finished an automated system that downloads
the files from the ftp site, unzips them, validates all the expected files are there, renames and relocates the files to the names/locations expected by my ETL, and then runs the ETL.
I found out today that the people who manually did this process were each time opening the file and then saving it to the correct location
in Excel 2007.
When I try to run my ETL on the files in the automated process, it fails with the above error. If, however, I just open the file and
save it (also in 2007), it runs fine. I have been trying to figure out what saving the file is doing to change it to be in the expected format.
I have tried to use an excel 2003 connection to connect to a copy of the file with a modified extension of .xls and that didn't work.
(in case it was in another version of excel and someone just changed the ext)
I then tried to access the file with the OLE DB provider, as above, but instead of entering 12.0 on the Extended properties line, entering
9.0 or 14.0 in turn (creating new sources/connections each time), and when I do that, both times I get an error that says:
“Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Could not find installable ISAM.”
Am I missing something? Is there something else that simply opening and saving the file might be doing to make it paletable to ssis?
If we install excel on the db server I realize i could probably open it up and save it as excel 2007 and that would do the trick, but
the dba is resistant to this idea, so I thought I'd see if anyone has any other ideas?
If we do have to install excel on that server, does the version have to be excel 2007 in order to programmatically save it as type 2007?
thanks in advance for your thoughts on the issue...

You just need to install the latest ACE OLEDB (JET) provider, then when you set the package to run use a proxy with proper rights to access the Excel file on the file system.
