Lost Excel document- 'Terminal Bash' suddenly appeared

Can anyone help???
I have been working on an excel (Office for Mac) spreadsheet for a week. I have been saving it on my work network which I access from home through 'Shared' on Finder. I finally finished it tonight and saved it but wanted to rename the file. Instead of doing 'Save As' I double clicked file name and re-entered text. However, I think I accidentally used a character which shouldn't be used in filenames "/" and when I clicked enter, the excel file icon and the contents of the document disappeared, to be replaced in the finder window by a black box icon which i believe is a 'Terminal Bash' window. The file is empty.
Does ANYONE know how I might recover the document? My job might depend on it!!!!

I don't know if this will help, but - under spotlight, type anything that was in the title, or even .xls if you want to look at EVERYTHING. Click on show all. When that window comes up, you can choose to search your mac or shared. Good luck.

Suddenly, all my saved Excel Worksheets are opening as Numbers documents, even though I've NEVER used the Numbers application, and even though the documents continue to be identified as Excel documents--losing years of work. What happened?

How can I uninstall Numbers? I've never used the Numbers application before, and suddenly all my saved Excel Worksheets are opening as Numbers documents, even though they continue to be identified as Excel documents? I'm losing years of work.

Right click on a Excel Worksheet file, choose 'Get Info'. In the small window that opens change the 'Open with:' from Numbers to Excel. Click on 'Change All…'

PowerView worksheets lost when reopening Excel documents

I have a test machine that is a clean installation of Office 2013 for testing PowerView.
When I create a PowerView worksheet in Excel 2013 and then save the Excel document, the PowerView sheets are not saved. When I reopen the Excel document all the PowerViews have been replaced with images.
Does this happen to anyone else?
I haven't found anything in the documentation that says anything about not being able to save PowerViews within Excel documents.

Yes, it looks like a sheet of paper.
When you tap that, you have to scroll left or right to go through the sheets. Select the one you want and then tap on it to go into it.

Can't open some Excel documents

I have constant but inconsistent problems opening Excel documents sent to me by email.
for instance today I received 2 documents -- one I was able to
open with no problems, the other started, loaded slowly BUT then got stuck at the very end with the famous spinning colour
pinwheeel appearing. I had to go into activity monitor to Force Quit. Repeated attempt gave me the same results. In the Activity Monitor it said AppleWorks 6 (not responding).
Can someone tell me why one will open but the other won't
and if there is a fix? The documents end with .xls
Thanks,
Zentor

Here's what I found:
first file opens OK:
ALvar2005-2006AdoptedBudget.XLS (0.03 MB),
second file has some pecular characters in the name:
AlvarStrataFeeScheduleOwnerCopy$422,300.00-2005.xls (4.31 MB)
Especially these characters after OwnerCopy:
$422,300
On my machine, the second file downloaded to my desktop as "AlvarStrataFeeScheduleOwnerCopy"
Nothing after "Copy". I added an ".xls suffix and the file opened fine in Excel.
Appleworks, on the other hand, hangs as you mention. The file seems to be quite large considering the amount of data in the sheet. I deleted all unused columns to the right of the table and all of the rows below the table. The file suddenly changed from 4.2MB to 27KB (more in line with the data). Now the file opens fine with Appleworks.
The spinning lollipop means the system is working and Appleworks may be trying to calculate all of the sheet from columns A through IV and rows 1 through 65,536. If you are patient enough, Appleworks may eventually respond. I've attached a file called "test.xls" and see if this works.

Excel service and OWA - getting ERROR while trying to open/edit Excel documents

Hi All,
We have configured SharePoint 2013 with Excel Service and OWA (Office Web Apps).
After configuring, we are able to view/edit Word or PowerPoint documents from the browser (as OWA is configured). But we are getting errors while trying to open/edit Excel documents.
We are not able to view/edit the excel workbook from the browser (through OWA).
To open the excel in the browser, decision has to be taken at the farm level on what to be used – Excel Service or OWA Server? Is it possible to do setting at site collection level?

Getting error while opening Excel document from SharePoint site

Hello All,
I am getting following error while opening Excel document from SharePoint site.
This issue appears when we open Excel document from Windows>> Run using below mentioned command:
Excel.exe "{File Name}"
If once I go to Excel back stage and browse for the SharePoint location, then this problem disappears.
I have a work around for this issue but main problem is that i do not have any work around when i need to open Exel document using Excel COM interop in C#.
Thanks,

Hi Amit Bansal,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
This forum is for developers discussing developing issues involve Excel application.
According to the description, you got an error when you open the document form SharePoint site.
Based on my understanding, this issue maybe relative to the SharePoint, I would like move it to
SharePoint 2013 - General Discussions and Questions forum.
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.
Thanks for your understanding.

Multiple Instances of the Same Excel Document in 'Alt-Tab' List

So I am having a very weird problem, and I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. I was recently given a new laptop at work with Windows 7 and Office 2010. It has worked pretty well so far, but recently I have been noticing something very strange. While
this problem is quite small, due to how I use windows and my habits of alt-tabbing between multiple documents throughout the day, it is causing a serious problem.
This typically only happens when I have multiple excel documents open, and am tabbing between them or other documents or windows. For example, I have ClientList.xlsx open and need to cut and paste a cell from it to FinalReview.xlsx. I have 'ClientList' open
and just clicked Control+C to copy a cell. I click on 'Alt-tab' and while the icon in the alt tab list appears to change, I am taken immediately back to the same document. What is happening is that there are actually two separate copies of 'ClientList'
in my alt tab list. If I press and hold 'Alt' and then hit 'tab' twice, I can pull up the other excel file, 'FinalReview'.
At any point in time, I can click on the 'Alt' button to see the list and see three Excel icons. There will be one large excel icon with the name 'Microsoft Excel - ClientList.xlsx', and then right next to it will be two smaller looking excel icons with
the names 'ClientList.xlsx' and 'FinalReview.xlsx' respectively.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? I have spend hours searching for a resolution on the internet, as well as calling my work's tech support line and have not found anything remotely close to this as even being an issue.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
First, I would like to verify whether this issue only occurred with Excel? Have you checked the Excel settings? You can perform a
system restore to see how it works.
In addition, I suggest you try the following:
1. Test the issue in Clean Boot and
Safe Mode
2. Create a new user to test if this issue still exists.
Thanks,
Vincent Wang

Mate, did you even bother to read the question? To mark your response as the answer is a complete load of garbage - you haven't even bothered to respond to the actual question. The correct answer is below from B.W._.

HP Laser Jet P2055 slow when printing Excel documents or from databases.

I work for a company that is deploying 100s of this model of printer and for some reason Excel documents and print jobs sent from databases print out extremely slowly. It takes 2 to 7 seconds per page depending on what is being printed.
The way we are setup is with a Windows 2008 print server with print queues on it. We use only the HP universal print driver on this particular print server and it is against our standards to install the printers locally. Also all of our printers have been updated to the firmware 20101025
After doing a lot of troubleshooting I found that this appears to happen anytime I use either of the following printer drivers with this printer.
HP Universal Print Driver ver 5.01, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 Both in Windows XP and in Windows 7 and with both PCL 5 and PCL 6.
HP 2055 PCL 6 ver. 61 in Both Windows XP and in Windows 7.
I have also tried connecting the printer locally to see if that helps but I experience the same issues. So far the only work around I have found is to use an older print driver for a down level printer. For example the P2015 and 1320n print drivers appear to work better though there is still a slight delay.
An additional step I tried is leaving the tray open when I send the print job. This appears to force the printer to spool the print job correctly though there is still hesitation it just isn't as pronounced. For example with a 10 page Excel document once I push the tray back in the printer will print 4 pages then pause, print 3 more pages, then pause, then print 2 more pages, pause then print the final page. This has happened with all 5 P2055x printers that I have tested it on.
Please help, we need to get this resolved because this particular printer is the only model we are currently allowed to use. I'm hoping a newer firmware than 20101025 might be on the way?

To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since the Laserjet 1320n is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums - Printing and Digital Imaging.
In the meantime, the support page for your product may help:

Excel Documents "save as" / Shared Documents

If you create a shared folder, MCM create a folder with MCM user as suffix - like "[user]. In Excel is "[" not an allowed character. If you save an Excel Document directly with “save as” in a MCM shared Folder, so appears an error from Excel.
How can I adjust this in MCM?

Hi,
This seems to be an issue with MS Office.
See this: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/d2ea4aca-8022-401a-9c45-00a136730078/creating-excel-file-from-windows-start-and-saving-it-under-a-folder-with-name-having-square-?forum=exceldev
Right now the alternative is that you can create the document in the targetted folder directly first and then start editing there.

How to turn a pdf file into excel document and keep original format

I Have an excel bid form that i use all the time ,then i convert it into a PDF And once in a while i need to add something to it I paid for acrobat but when i try to turn the PDF back into an excel document the format is changed , the columns are in the wrong places And it does not look at all like the original excell form is there any thing i can do to fix this If not this will be useless to me any help appreciated

A PDF does not contain any spreadsheet, word processing or page layout file format information.
No "format", columns, rows, etc.
"When you create a PDF, you’re painting a picture. Your paintbrush is the is the result of a combination of the software used to create the source document and the software you’ve chosen to convert your source document into the universal electronic document format we all know as PDF.
Like the painter’s brushstrokes, each character, each line and each image is fundamentally independent, but they can interact with each other to produce particular visual effects. On the PDF page, objects are connected by a coordinate system and not a lot else. There’s no logical, semantic connection between the letters comprising a word; characters simply happen at a series of locations on the rendered page.
As originally designed, PDF is fundamentally a system for painting objects onto a page, plus a whole lot of other features we aren’t talking about right now! There’s no innate concept of words, sentences, paragraphs, columns, headings, images, tables, lists, footnotes – any of the semantic structures that distinguish a “document” from a meaningless heap of letters, shapes and colors. PDF is fundamentally about how the document appears on the page, not how it looks when abstracted from the page."

Excel documents stuck on loading circle

I'm hoping this is the right forum, there wasn't a general Office Web Apps forum that I could see.
I have a user who is unable to open Excel documents from SharePoint 2010, the web app toolbars appear as they should but the content stops on the "loading" text with the circle.
The documents open fine if they select "Open in Excel" from the drop down when viewing the document library.
The web app works fine for the other 30 odd staff in the same department, but not for this one user (all their PC's are build identical).
I've tried an Office repair, renaming the OWSPUPP.DLL found in Office15 to that the OWSPUP.DLL is used from Office 14 (we have Office 2010 and Lync 2013), resetting IE, deleting all temporary files.
The last option is to rebuild the PC.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the excel files stucked on loading circle.
Did you active the feature Excel Services Application View Farm Feature and
Excel Services Application Web Part Farm Feature in the farm ?
We can active them, then check whether it works.
Did you use the IE 32bit? Make sure the IE version is 32bit.
You also can check with other browers, such as FireFox, Chrome, if so, we can use the following methods or reset the IE.
Use the Compatibility View Settings in IE. Open the IE->Tools->
Compatibility View Settings->add the site into Compatibility View, then check whether it works.
Add the site into Trusted sites. Opne the IE->Internet Options->Security->Sites->add the site into the Websites, then check whether it works.
What’s more, you can check the event log and ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
To check event log, click the Start button and type “Event Viewer” in the Search box.
For SharePoint 2010, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS
You can check the ULS log by the methods here:

Creating link to excel document within PDF portfolio

i created a pdf portfolio and created links to pdf documents within portfolio but am unable to create a link to the excel documents. I can't even create a link to direct them to a specific folder where the item is held. HELP, New to pdf portfolio's!

One option is to create a PDF from the Excel spreadsheet and link to that.
If you want to update the spreadsheet, you could create a Web Content overlay (or HTML article) that links to a Google spreadsheet. I've played around with linking to a Google presentation, and it works fine. You can update the spreadsheet/presentation on the website and the changes automatically appear in the overlay. I've just dabbled at it, so I wouldn't be much help with sizing/formatting issues.

Can I synch Word/Excel documents?

I'm running OS X 10.9.5 on both a iMac and a Macbook Air. I'm new to the use of iCloud, so bear with me. I'd like to synch Word and/or Excel documents between my two Macs (i.e., edit the file on either Mac and then have the latest version of the file available on the other Mac), but it appears I'll need to wait for Yosemite to do that, right?
If I log on to iCloud.com and click on the "Pages" icon, I get the following message:
"To use Pages, you'll need to upgrade your account to iCloud Drive. iCloud Drive will allow you to store any file in iCloud and access it any time, on any device."
BUT, the message goes on to say: "Important: If you upgrade, you won't be able to access documents in iCloud from devices with IOS 7 or OS X Mavericks. You'll need to install iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite on the following devices..."
This sounds a bit like a "Catch22". Since Yosemite is not yet available, the message seems to be saying, in effect: "to use Pages (to store a document) you need to upgrade. If you upgrade you won't be able to use Pages"
I'm confused. Any help is appreciated.

With MacOS X Mavericks on your MacBook Air and iMac, you should be able to use "Documents in The Cloud".
But it works only with iCloud-enabled apps. You would need to open your Word Documents with Pages and the Excel documents with Numbers. Pages and Numbers can store documents in the cloud and they would be synced to your other Mac.
If you want to keep the Office documents as Word documents, but still sync them in the cloud, try Winston Churchill's user tip. You can create your own iCloud drive, see this link: Using iCloud to sync multiple document types.
https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_mac/content?filterID =contentstatus%5Bpublished%5D~objecttype~objecttype%5Bdocument%5D
This will only work, if you did not upgrade a mobile device to iOS 8 and enabled iCloud Drive on that device. In that case you will have to wait till Yosemite will be released.

Word and excel documents

Am I correct that there is no way to edit my word and excel documents once they are on my Palm Pre??!!! I can't believe I went from a 5 year old smart phone to a new Pre and lost the ability to modify documents (with the promise of being able to do it in the future, and at what cost???). What a rip off, I should have gone with droid technology!
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Palm has not released specific information on whether an Office document editor will be included in webOS 2.0. However, speculation is rampant that QuickOffice will be releasing a document editor, either as part of 2.0 or as a stand-alone app.
What we do know is that Dataviz, the company that produced the current doc viewer (as well as Documents To Go for Palm OS and other platforms), won't be producing an editing version for webOS in spite of their earlier promises. They're been purchased by RIM (Blackberry).
