Issues Saving Files; Excel 2013

Users are unable to save files using Excel 2013 (both .xls and .xlsx) to network share space. the return is "Someone else is working on 'J:\network space name\filename' right now. Please try again later". There are no other users
currently using the file in question and Folder and file ACL allows for full control. Users are able to save to their persistent D:\ volume (we are using VMware) but unable to breach the network space. I have full administrative rights and am experiencing
the same results, this includes a newly created file, files for which I have total ownership and files for which i have full control over. This condition is only true for Excel 2013, Office and other Suite applications are functioning well within tolerance.
This condition originally manifested when we first rolled out the MSFT Office 2013 image but subsided when we modified Trend Micro so that it would not scan edited files. After that it would only manifest occasionally and to single or a couple of users but
has now returned to being global. Any ideas as to how to remedy this would be greatly appreciated.

The blog post speaks to an error message that is not what my users are seeing. There is no reference to files being 'locked', rather it suggests that another user may be viewing the same file precluding a save action. Initially we believed it was related
to an issue caused by .TMP files but as it turned out a refresh of AV baseline policy relieved the condition. So it may have been a cache issue and how the AV was handling the temporary file but details behind causality could not be determined beyond refreshing
the base policy.
Thank you for your suggestion though, I appreciate the consideration.

Small file get extremely big after saving with Excel 2013

A file who is only 666Kb big with Excel 2007 is opened with Excel 2013. When I direct safe that file, the size increases to more than 6GB. Opening that file takes more than one minute. And Excel seems to crasch.(Not responding) The problem seems to be one
(1) sheet. when I delete rows the size of that file is increasing up to 16 GB. This means a less filed excel sheet, makes a bigger file.

Hi,
The issue seems happened in the special file and it may be caused by the conditional formatting, cell format, formula calculation automatic or macros,ect. Please see the thread which some communicators discussed:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2007-excel/why-do-my-excel-files-become-huge/8235dc08-aa70-4a65-9892-b776790d79c5?page=1
Then, we may try the Mr. Ashish's suggestion:
=====
1. Identify the last filled up row of data and click on any cell in one row below that
2. Select from that row till the end and delete all rows
3. Do the same for columns
4. Save and close the file
5. Shut down MS Excel
6. Reopen the file
=====
If the issue still exists, please copy all the content to new/blank Excel 2013 file to test.

Has anyone else had issues saving files should hard drive issue force reinstall of Story?

In theory there should be a way to protect one's work offline to one's local hard drive. No one has told me what I've done wrong, nor what to do to get files back. I saved frequently to an external hard drive, saved using the procedure of "save now", i did not get any cautious messages "you need to save while online as cache or file suffixes will not or cannot save to the local drive" nor any variation. Curiously no one wants to talk to me to help resolve. Anyone out there who wants their work only temporarily saved unless online? Please reply to this thread. Thank you.

Issues saving files from LR4 in CS6

I just installed CS6 on a new computer, i7 and plenty of everything. Also has windows 8, yuck. On my previous computer running a different ps but the same Lr version, I had no issues. But saving images is a nightmare. I shoot in raw, so my files are large. From within Lr, to bring a photo in tiff format over to ps, edit, save, it will take minutes PER photo. Yet bringing the same raw image into ps via bridge, it saves fine...still a bit slow, but not even close to the lag. Same issue whether it is psd or tiff.
There is no software on my computer other than cs6 and lr4.2, no antivirus, nothing except the other garbage that comes with win 8. I think that because I can't find anything on this issue, it must be due to win 8 as the OS and it is causing a disconnect between Lr and ps.
Please help ASAP, I was on chat with someone who was clueless. Thank you...

Issue saving files as PDF

I have Windows 7 on my computer. I had to recently restore Windows on my computer and since then I can save Word documents as PDFs. Please assist.

Yes I think I understand the problem and I believe it is expected behavior and I will explain.
You must convert the images to cmyk in photoshop first before placing them in Illustrator or convert them after but since they are linked the conversion has to take place in photoshop by using the link panel to edit the original.
Now it should work as expected but I did this without the using a black key line on the rectangle I used for my clipping so once you have the rectangles position if you still find you have this problem then go bak and redo the clipping mask without the black stroke.
This is my result in Acrobat with the images converted to cmyk so I am positive you stated with RGB and did not convert before placing.
As you can at 6400% magnification it is fine. This is the top edge of the two butted images when saved as pdf after converting the files to cmyk in Photoshop. PDX 1a supports CMYK.
This is what it looks like when using the inked files when they are rgb

Issues Saving Files

Everytime I want to save a file I've updated it asks me to save it as a new document, rather than just updated what's open. Incredibly frustrating. How do I stop this?

It sounds like you've opened a "foreign" file not a Pages file made with the version you are using. The prompt is to save it as a Pages file. If you don't you will get the warning. If you're going to use Pages to edit other file types, such as Word, save it as Pages & then export the file to Word or whatever when you're done editing.

.xlsm File use from Excel 2013 64bit/Win7 64bit to Excel 2013 32bit/Win8.1 64bit - Component Removed (not API related)

Work Environment: Excel 2013 64bit/Win7 64bit
Home Environment: Excel 2013 32bit/Win8.1 64bit (1 desktop and 1 laptop)
I am developing an an .xlsm file at work (with Lists and a single form with controls linked to a worksheet ControlSource). It works and saves all day long just fine in my work environment. I save the file to either a USB drive (or DropBox - makes no difference)
and then open the file on my home computer. I can open the file the first time with no problem and with no error messages. But then when I try to save the file Excel 2013 32bit most often tells me that it has removed a component. But it doesn't tell which
component it has removed. After that, if I close the file and try to reopen it, it won't reopen. I get a series of error message: [1] file path errors (error 75) [2] Excel has stopped working errors. [3] Excel hasn't enough memory to complete the operation,
[4] Excel will close. So I click the close button on the last error message and Excel disappears. I say disappears, because its not really gone. Mind you, its not listed in the Task Manager at this point. But, if I then click the Windows Taskbar icon to start
Excel, Excel will sometimes automatically open up with the file that I was trying to open before, already up and running, i.e. I do not select the file to open it - it just appears. Other time Excel just repeats the series of error messages noted above.
The strange part is, once this file has been corrupted, I can still take it back to my work environment, fire it up on my work computer, and it works just fine. No error messages, no saving problems.
I have totally uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2013 (HUP Click to Run) on both my home computers and it makes no difference.
I can say though, this is driving me nuts. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

I think I solved the issue.
Step 1: Moved all my code from the Worksheet_Open event to the Auto_Open Macro.
Result: File would open from inside Excel but when opening by clicking on the file in Windows explorer I would get the error msg "There was a problem sending a command to the program."
Step 2: Apply FixIt 20074. Note that to get this FixIt to work in Windows 8.1 you MUST save the FixIt file to your desktop and run it from there. If you follow the instructions on the FixIt page - download and run - you will get the error msg "This Fixit
does not apply because the computer does not have the expected software (Excel.exe)."
Excel 2013 definitely seems to have some bugs when starting a macro enabled file. I have seen other comments on the internet about the Excel workbook_open event actually failing to run all the VBA commands that are put into it.
Environments:
[1] Home: Microsoft HUP Click-n-Run Office Professional 2013; Windows 8.1, 64 bit; Excel 2013, 32 bit.
[2] Work: Enterprise Microsoft Office Professional 2013; Windows 7, 64 bit; Excel 2013, 64 bit.

Dreamweaver 8 - Issue saving to Mac partion from Windows

I just bought an Intel Mac, which I'm running Windows on
using Bootcamp (as all my Adobe software is for Windows). I use a
software called MacDrive, so when I'm working in Windows I can
access files saved on the Mac partion. But I'm having issues saving
files in Dreamweaver to the Mac partion. Everything appears to save
correctly, until I go back and open the file, and see that the end
of the file will have leftover data in it from the previous save.
For example, if I remove two lines of code from an HTML file, then
when I re-open the file, I'll have a duplicate set of
</body></html> tags leftover from the previous version
of the file. I do not have this problem when editing and saving
files to the Mac partion using Notepad or any other Windows
program, only Dreamweaver.
Has anyone here had a similar problem? If so, were you able
to fix it somehow? If not, would you be willing to help me contact
Adobe to get this issue solved? Thank you for your time.

Don't want to hijack the thread, but since you mentioned a
cross-grade I
have a question. I will be making the move from being PC
based to MAC based
in the next 6 months. Since I will be replacing my aging dell
laptop with
an imac pro, my next desktop purchase will be mac as well
With the current CS3 I will just be running in parralels, but
I asked about
when cs4 comes around if I could just upgrade to the mac
version. I was
told by a cs rep that this is not possible I would have to
purchase a fresh
install. Is this not correct, is there a way around it?
thanks,
randy

How should we be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting our ODC files using Excel 2013 for use in Project Server 2013 Online?

Hi I need your guidance on how I should go about setting up my Excel 2013 reports so that others in our Project Online 2013 environment can access and updates these reports of mine.
My questions are as follows:
I presume I need to create and save my ODC files in a PWA > Data Connections folder. I have English and French users in our environment. Do I need save them twice? Once in the French and again in the English Data Connections folder?
Likewise for the Excel file?
How should I go about creating my ODC files within Excel? By default, the ODC files are being created on my PC's > My Documents > My Data Sources folder. I presume I need to get them saved or exported to the PWA > Data Connections
folder. So, How should I be going about creating and saving and/ or exporting the ODC files???
FYI...My oData Feeds that I wish to use and join in this particular Excel file are as follows:
https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/AssignmentTimephasedData01T00:00:00'
https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/Projects()?$select=ProjectId,ProjectName,CAS_Classification,CAS_PCO,CAS_IT_Department,CAS_Program,CAS_SubProgram
https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/TimeSet()?select=TimeByDay,TimeDayOfTheWeek$filter=TimeByDay ge datetime'2014-10-19T00:00:00'
https://cascades.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_api/projectdata/Resources()?$select=ResourceId,ResourceName,Programs,Supplier,Source,Role,CostType
Thanks in advance,
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

Thank you Guilaume. May I ask you to help clarify a bit more for me? If I have to do it for both languages (the reports and ODC files), do I simply copy the same ODC files from e.g., the English to French folder in PWA (Odc files)? Or does
that defeat the purpose? Or, do I need to create a new set of oData Feed Connection files with a French version of Excel 2013 and save them to the French Data Connections folder in PWA? Do I need to have a French version of Excel 2013 to create
French ODC files and ultimately French based reports and/ or vice versa?
I did notice that the following oData metadata command from within a browser produces different results (ie., English versus French metadata returned) depending on who runs it (i.e., French or English user, etc). As you can see I am a bit confused.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Office 2013 hangs when saving files to local profile locations on Windows 2012 server

We installed Office 2013 a few weeks ago instead of Office 2003 on a Windows 2012 standard terminal server. We installed the last updates and Office is up-to-date now, but we experience problems with saving word, excel and powerpoint documents when we start
a new/clean document. It's not possible to save our documents to the local profile (desktop, documents etc.), but it's no problem to save our stuff to a network share on a different server.
Word is not responding after pressing save or save as and after a few seconds we see the 'microsoft is looking for a solution and will restart microsoft word'.
We did a complete reinstall of Office 2013 and removed the old installation with the removal tool from the microsoft website, without luck. We have the same saving issues with Office 2010, so it's not an Office 2013 issue.
We were looking in the access/rights on the terminal server, because we thought that it was an access/rights issue. But unfortunately we have the same problem with an domain admin user.
I tried to disable DEP and my AVG 2012 antivirus, but this steps are also not the issue.
I'm looking for a solution and i'm working on this case for a few days now. It gives me a headache when i'm thinking about a clean installation of this server. So please contact me when you have a solution or a tip to solve this problems!
Thanks!

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.

Encryption Type in Microsoft Excel 2013 (XLS file)

Hello,
I am creating a password protected file of format Excel 97-2003 Workbook (.xls) using Microsoft Office 2013.
I have written a java program to read password protected excel file using POI API. I am able to read .xlsx file using this API, but I am not able to read .xls file. It throw error : org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordFormatException: Unknown encryption
info 4
Using same java code I am able to read .xls file if I use Microsoft Office 2010 to create this file.
As per POI API documentation:
Apache POI contains support for reading few variants of encrypted office files:
XLS - RC4 Encryption
XML-based formats (XLSX, DOCX and etc) - AES and Agile Encryption
I think in Microsoft Office 2013, encryption type has been change for XLS file. So I want to know that how can I solve this issue. Also please let me know how to configure Encryption Type in Microsoft Excel 2013 Excel file.
OS is Windows 8(64-bit).
Thanks

Unable to open Macro file in Excel 2013 but opens fine in Excel 2010

Hello,
Hopefully someone can help us. We have a Macro Excel file created with Password Protected to open as well as to Modify. The file opens fine in version 2010. However, in Excel 2013, we get an error message "Cannot run the macro "filename.xlsm'!QC'.
The macro may not be available in this workbook or all macros may be disabled. However, if we removed the password all together, the file can be opened in Excel 2013 without any issues. We do NOT want to have the file without the password so any
help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Do you have the latest update of 2013, there has been changes in dec 2014 that causes problems with VBA code.
Maybe that is also the reason here. See below link for more information.

Excel 2013 - Locked file when trying to save

After a user opens an excel file from a personal network share (EMC/ISILON storage) and make changes to the file, the user get a FILE LOCKED BY <USER> (Same user that is currently editing the file).
We have also had issues where a user goes to open a file and it says it is currently in use by <USER> same user trying to open the file.
Couple of notes of interest:
These files are on personal network shares, only the 1 user has access to the files
We have had the user completely reboot their machine when they try to open a file and get the file is locked message - Same message
Does not happen with any other Office 2013 application
Are there any special "quick View" features in Excel 2013 or Windows 7 that may be locking the file? I have seen reference to this in older versions of Windows, but nothing for Windows 7.
Thanks for the help.
