Option Save As - SharePoint missing in Office 2013

Hi!
I have installed Office 2013 Professional plus on a Virtual machine. For some strange reason the option Save As - SharePoint does not exist. Only Skydrive Other web locations and Computer are visible. But on another VM also the option Sharepoint is visible.
Excel version 15.0.4535.1507
Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise Edition is installed on the same server
So far no rescue on google.
Has anyone seen this problem and knows how to deal with it?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
The option Save As - SharePoint would not exist when Office 2013 initial installed.  After you save a file to a SharePoint library for the first time, you can click
Save as you do for any file. This is by design.
Thanks.

  • Save to Sharepoint Option gone missing in Office 2013

    Hi - I used to be able to save to SharePoint from Office 2013 apps by going to file, save as and under SharePoint I would have my sites pinned for ease of access. they then vanished and although it works in the same way I now save under 'other web locations'. 
    Have Microsoft removed that option in an update or something?
    Thanks
    Rhys.

    Hi Rhys,
    I could reproduce this issue in my environement.
    And I found some posts about this issue, it seems to be due to a Microsoft Update, however, I cannot confirm it.
    There is a similar posts, please take a look at:

  • SharePoint 2010 and Office 2013 Can't edit documents

    Hello
    I have built a desktop image with Office 2013. I am receiving the following error when I click on a document in a SharePoint library and click "Edit in Microsoft Word" (the problem is not limited to Word):
    The document could not be opened for editing. A Microsoft SharePoint Foundation compatible application could not be found to edit the document.
    I have tried the following:
    Ensuring the "WebClient" service is running
    Ensuring the site is in the "Local Intranet" zone
    Checking the "SharePoint OpenDocuments Class" add-on is loaded
    Making sure Internet Explorer is not running in 64-bit mode
    Manually re-registering OWSSUPP.DLL
    Ensuring the SharePoint Foundation integration components are installed
    Repairing Microsoft Office
    The document sometimes loads succesfully but not always. When it will and won't load seems quite random. I am at a complete loss as to why this is!
    I am running the following on my client:
    Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 (x64)
    Office Professional Pro Plus 2013 (VL)
    If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate this.
    Regards
    Peter

    This took a lot of tracking down!!!! 
    The issue is with Office 2013. Someone at Microsoft has hardcoded what I think maybe the US local into a registry key request!!! Just brilliant!!
    The key in question is: HKCR\Installer\Components\55EAFA0B8A4403B428FDE038B252C621\x86\2057
    2057 is the US local
    However we are not in the US !! Our local is 1033. So the key that exists on our PCs is
    HKCR\Installer\Components\55EAFA0B8A4403B428FDE038B252C621\x86\1033
    But Microsoft is looking for x86\2057 and that is why it fails - Also, if you are getting it were the document opens first time then errors from then on until IE is restarted -
    That is because the first time you make a document call through SharePoint in a new IE session, it calls it differently to subsequent calls. I have verified this by tracing what is going on in the background...
    Now due to the nature of the call you cannot just rename they key to be the missing key - we need to create and additional key ending in 2057 with the same value as (in our case x86\1033. So in the end you should have the following keys in place:
    HKCR\Installer\Components\55EAFA0B8A4403B428FDE038B252C621\x86\1033
    HKCR\Installer\Components\55EAFA0B8A4403B428FDE038B252C621\x86\2057
    So there goes several hours of my life that I'm never getting back all for some sloppy coding - Thanks MS
    To everyone else who has been suffering from this problem, time to smile once more :-)

  • My Acrobat tab is missing in Office 2013

    I have office 2013 (Windows 7) and Acrobat XI (Creative Cloud). I have always had an Acrobat tab and have used it successfully many times to create PDFs. Recently it has gone missing. I no longer have the tab, and I can no longer create PDFs. I can still print to PDF, but this does not create any book marks for headings and such in Word, so the PDF is not very useful to me. I frequently create large documents and really need that feature that the ribbon tab gave me to be able to have all the Word headings converted to bookmarks in the PDF.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling: Acrobat, the PDF Maker, the PDF Maker and Acrobat, and Office all to no avail. This morning I unistalled Office and Acrobat, rebooted, then reinstalled and still nothing. When you open Options in Word, it shows the addin is not checked (disabled) If i try to check it, it does not take. I mainly create PDFs from Word, so this is my primary concern, but I also checked the other Office apps. In Outlook, it shows it also unchecked with a message below that says there was an error loading. Excel and PointPoint interesting enough show the plugin loaded, but there is still no ribbon tab, nor buttons.
    Here are some images:
    So I am at a loss. I am not sure how to fix this problem, or what caused it in the first place. As it used to work just fine on this computer.
    Any assistance is apprecaited. Thank you.

    When you post, do not expect an immediate answer. We users do not live on this site and check periodically. However, one of us is often around. I was considering replying about doing the updates when I got to your second post. Actually 11.0.01 is even old. You should be able to do updates from the Help menu in Acrobat or download them from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows. The updates generally have to be installed in order (most are not cummulative).
    WORD 2013 was released after Acrobat 11.0.0, requiring the updates for Acrobat to properly operate. Even if a beta was available, Adobe does not generally target the beta for updates since they are often totally different from the final release, wasting a lot of programming time on the part of Adobe.

  • Unable to edit document from SharePoint 2007 using Office 2013 and IE 11

    I am getting the following error when I try to edit a document from SharePoint 2007: "Edit document
    requires a Windows Sharepoint services-compatible application and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater". I am using Windows 7 with Office 2013 and Internet Explorer 11. Troubleshooting steps that I've tried so far (that haven't worked) are as follows:
    1) repaired Office; 2) switched from 64 bit version of IE to 32 bit version; 3) moved the owssupp.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\ to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15; 4) tried removing old versions of Office (but
    I still need to use Office Communicator 2007 r2 and couldn't figure out how to get rid of the Office14 files from Program Files); and 5) running SharePoint in IE compatibility mode. Please advise...thanks!

    Hi,
    It seems you installed mixed version Office2007/2010/2013 on your client machine?
    I would suggest you remove all Office 2007 and 2010 version, and reinstall Office 2013(include Office Tools->Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support component) on your machine, and make sure "Open SharePointDocuments class" add-on is enabled
    from IE11, then check if it could fix the issue.
    If above works, please test again after installing the Office Communicator 2007 r2 on your machine.

  • How do you make SharePoint graphics in Office 2013 now that Picture Manager is gone?

    FYI I was asked to post below question in this group by a Microsoft Support Engineer in the Office 2013 support forum:
    In SharePoint a majority of out-of-the-box webparts, like "promoted links" and site icon, requires users to resize graphics to exact pixel width and height before uploading to avoid scaling issues. How do we do that without using a third-party
    tool, now that Picture Manager is not in Office 2013?
    I'm generally fine with re-shuffling products/features, but it seems to me that SharePoint is part of the Office product group, so some consideration must have been made to ensure, that the requirements of one product still fit the features of the other.
    Thank you
    Anders

    Hi Anders,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to resize the graphics.
    You are correct that Office Picture Manager was removed from Office 2013. Inside programs such as PowerPoint and Word there are still editing tools. You also have Windows
    Live Photo Gallery  which I feel is a much more program specific picture editing tool.
    Best regards.

  • Acrobat ribbon missing on office 2013 (specifically outlook and word)

    I just downloaded acrobat xi on my desktop PC w/ windows 7 professional.
    The acrobat ribbon is missing on outlook and word programs.  I tried the troubleshoot recommended by adobe and it does not work.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Mardic,
    Compatibility with Office 2013 has been added from Acrobat 11.0.1 on-wards.
    You need to update Acrobat for the pdfmaker to appear in Office applications. The latest version is 11.0.10

  • My Windows Store (beta) is missing MS Office 2013 Preview apps

    I used to have Win 10 TP (9926) on dual boot setup, and I had MS Office 2013 Preview apps installed.
    Lately I removed the dual boot and installed Win 10 TP as the sole OS. At the same time I installed various programs I use regularly, one of which is MS Office H & S 2007.
    Only today while reading a question about 2013 Preview apps, I decided to look for them in the Beta Store.
    The 2013 Preview apps are no where to be found.
    Not that it matters. I just wonder what happens ?

    Have you tried typing "office" in the search box up at the top?  That's how
    I found them.
    As for the apps them selves, they worked once for me and never again, no
    matter what I do. (some apps work, some don't in my installs)
    Bob Comer
    That will give me my installed 2007 version, not the 2013 Preview.

  • Add SharePoint 2013 On-Premise to Add a Place in Office 2013

    We are in the process of rolling out SharePoint 2013 on-premise to all users in our organization. As part the roll-out we are also upgrading users to Office 2013. Unfortunately, we have difficulty explaining to users how to Save As to SharePoint the first
    time. Until a user saves to SharePoint the first time this option is not available from the Save As screen. Per the post here:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/12a2fd07-a5db-4637-b4bd-ed9711542ea3/option-save-as-sharepoint-missing-in-office-2013?forum=officesetupdeploy
    The "solution" is to have a user open an existing file and save back to SharePoint. This is all well and good if there is content to access unfortunately this is not a manageable process for new users on a blank site. Is it possible to Add an entry
    through GPO, GPP, or directly to the registry to provide the Save to SharePoint, Save to Network Location or alternatively to the Add a Place options?
    I understand that Microsoft is pushing for everyone to move to the cloud but this user experience between two Microsoft products (Office and SharePoint) is extremely cumbersome. I appreciate any assistance anyone can provide. Thank you.

    Other option i am thinking,
    Map a Drive to SharePoint site and then set that location as default location. May be this work.

  • Office 2013 'Save As' - Cannot 'see' document

    Is it just me or is there anyone else out there who has problem with the change to how Office programs now 'Save As'.
    In previous versions (forever!) when you chose 'Save As' you were returned to the actual document and could then utilise information in that document view to name your document.  For me, as a salesman, it was useful as we use quote numbers and I may
    be working on several quotes at a time and cannot necessarily remember the exact quote number of the item I was working on.  Now with the Save As feature in all Office 2013 products you don't get to see your document behind the save as window and if you
    have the memory of a goldfish you have to cancel out of the process, go back to the document, remember the detail that you need and go through the process all over again.
    Can anyone assist, better still can the developers please put this back as it was as it is truly frustrating and I am thinking I will have to go back to office 2010 as it is becoming a true PITA!
    If no-one can specifically answer does anyone have a direct connection to developers that I could raise this as a change request??
    Mark Bailey Systems Consultant M&M Information Technologies Limited

    Hi,
    Let's say in Word 2013, if you click "Save As" from FILE tab, then click "Computer" -> "Browse", it automatically opens a dialog which refers to the current file location - This is my test result and it should be the
    same as you mentioned in previous versions, right?
    If it doesn't open the current file location when you click "Save As", what location does it open go to in your scenario? If it always opens the same location, it might be restricted by the registry key.
    We can refer to this kb below:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2801776/en-us
    Based on the kb, if you find the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Open Find\RestrictedBrowse", you may delete the Name and Value under the key, check if this will release the lock of the "Save As"
    Location.
    Important
    This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the
    registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry,

  • Office 2013 Technet installation Error 25004. The product key you entered cannot be used on this machine. (System error: - 1073422314)

    I am receiving an error when attempting to install
    Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 which I downloaded from the TechNet site.  At the end of the installation process I receive the following message: 
    "Error 25004. The product key you entered cannot be used on this machine. This is most likely due to previous Office 2013 trials being installed. (System error:
    -1073422314)"
    I have never installed a trial or Beta of any Office product on this machine.   However, I have installed Office 2007 Ultimate and Office 2010 Professional Plus.  All of these are 32bit versions downloaded from TechNet site.  In addition,
    prior to this error I had attempted unsuccessfully to install the 64bit version of Office 2013 as well as standalone versions of Visio Professional 2013 x64 and Project professional 2013 x64.   All three of these installations failed due to previous
    installation of 32bit Office software, so I have downloaded the 32 bit versions but not yet tried to install, other than Office 2013. 
    I used the Custom upgrade option during the attempted install of Office 2013, specifying "keep all prior versions".
    Note that all the above was done on a new machine.  The specific purpose was to test co-existence of multiple versions of OFFICE (2007, 2010, 2013) to facilitate user training and migration.
    I have tried uninstalling via Control Panel, and performed some of the steps for manual removal, however did not do all of them since 1) They are quite lengthy and 2) Some of them seem to involve removing ALL prior versions of Office, which I do not want
    to do; the earlier versions are working properly and I do not want to have to uninstall them.  Just want to uninstall and reinstall Office 2013.   Also tried running  O15CTRREMOVE.diagcab which indicated that it could not find a problem,
    but did not seem to remove anything. 
    I have read about ten recommended TechNet articles, which recommend everything from running a FIXIt tool, uninstalling all OFFICE software, and reformatting the whole machine.  Most of these involve System error -1073418209 rather than -1073422314 (which
    is the code that I am getting).   Other than that the problem sounds the same.  This seems to be a problem with key management and copy protection in these products, dating back to 2010.  Dozens of IT professionals have tried the solutions
    and vented their frustration since other than the full format, the other solutions work only sporadically, if at all.  Some of these people had been working with trial or beta software, but many who encountered this problem had not.  As
    noted above, none of my software was a trail version.    I do not want to uninstall all the OFFICE versions, particularly if it as likely as not will not resolve the issue.   (I am also getting paranoid to the extent of fearing that
    after uninstalling everything I might not be able to reinstall any version).  I think what we need here is a definitive fix from Microsoft, though I am not too hopeful, in view of the lack of response to all the other technicians who have been struggling
    with this for at least the past three years. 
    If anyone is aware of a solution which works consistently, I would appreciate it.  Reformatting however is not an option.  Detailed instructions for completely uninstalling Office 2013 (ONLY 2013) might be helpful.  I would be willing to uninstall
    all versions, but only as a last resort, and only if there is some assurance that this will actual solve the problem (for many others it did not seem to do so).
    Thanks
    PS: Probably doesn't matter, but I am running this on Windows 7 Pro w/SP1, 64 bit edition.

    Tony,
    Thanks for your reply.   I do in fact have three versions of Office installed on this machine, 2007 2010 and (hopefully) 2013.  I have on previous occasions installed 2007 and 2010 on a single machine, but this is my first attempt to install
    2013.   
    According to TechNet article  office.microsoft.com/en-us/support/install-and-use-multiple-versions-of-office-on-the-same-pc-HA103981695.aspx (Install
    and use multiple versions of Office on the same PC) it is possible to install
    Office 2003 2007 2010 and 2013 on a single system, provided they are installed in the sequence indicated.  It is noted that some problems may occur, notably involving file associations, but there is no
    mention of any activation key issues.   
    As stated in my original request, the software which I have installed is NOT a trail version.   I did NOT obtain it from the evalcenter, but from
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/subscriptions/securedownloads/hh442904.  
    The above is a full retail version.    The files which I downloaded are:
    en_office_ultimate_2007_united_states_x86_dvd_480625.iso
    en_office_professional_plus_2010_x86_515486.exe
    en_office_professional_plus_2013_x86_dvd_1123673.iso
    I know that the error message says that the problem is commonly caused by attempting to install trial software more than once, but that is not the case.  Several other people have reported this same problem, sometimes involving trial software but not
    in every case.    My own opinion is that this is a software bug involving key management and copy protection. 
    Many people have reported on TechNet that the problem was NOT resolved even after uninstalling all Office software.  While there is a chance I might get lucky, I really would like a solution which has a better chance for success.
    By any chance, does the error code 1073422314
    provide any further insight into this issue?
    Thanks again for your help.  However, further assistance is needed to resolve this issue.

  • MS Office 2013 -Sharepoint 2013 Issues

    We have an MS-Office 2013 environment and we are rolling out MS Sharepoint 2013. While saving a new document from the MS-Office applications, we are experiencing erroneous behaviour.
    When the document is saved to Sharepoint, it asks to Choose the  Content Type, and when it saves we get the following error:
    This file cannot be save because some properties are missing or invalid.
    After that we fill in the Document Properties (Metadata), and submits he document.It shows uploading to SharePoint on the Status bar.
    And when we try to check in the document. Then the following error is generated:
    We can't do that for you because the file is no longer checked out or has been deleted.
    This behaviour happens when we are creating the new documents from all the MS-Office Applications. Please advice on how this issue can be resolved.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you have an issue about uploading file to SharePoint.
    Did you mean the issue only occur in the drop down library?
    You can upload the files to a normal document library to check whether it works.
    What’s more, to quickly and accurately find the issue, I recommend you can check the event log and ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
    For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
    You can check the ULS log by the methods here:

  • How can I set the workgroup templates file location in Office 2013 to point at a folder stored on Sharepoint (2010/2013)?

    Hi All,
    Been doing quite a bit of research on this but drawn nothing but blanks or alternative suggestions, none of which are viable.
    So the outline of the issue:
    Deploying Office 2013 suite to organisation and wanting to have custom templates available for users to choose from, but want those templates to be centrally stored and managed on a SharePoint site. 
    In Word 2013, for example, when you create a new document, you are presented with a page to choose from 'Featured' templates (or blank document)
    So, if you wanted to have custom corporate templates, you could modify the file location for work group templates, thus creating a Custom Office Templates folder locally on your PC. 
    Great. This means when you select 'New' in Word 2013 you can pick from the 'Featured' templates, or the 'Personal' templates area.
    However, I have a collection of test corporate templates (for Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc). These are stored on a SharePoint site internally. 
    If I try to modify the work group templates location in Word 2013 to point towards my SharePoint site (or any HTTP address for that matter) it won't work.
    I know that I could point it towards a Network Share location instead, but I don't want to do that. 
    Is there any way of getting it to point towards a SharePoint site, any way of modifying it? Or perhaps an even better solution that I could use? 
    Any help, thoughts or ideas would be massively appreciated! And forgive me if any of my logic is off, but it does seem like this should be a straight forward thing to do given that Office and SharePoint are both developed by Microsoft and you
    would like to think they would inherently have better links!
    NOTE: Going to Office 365 is also not an option either!
    Eagerly awaiting an answer from someone incredibly clever!

    Hi Tony, 
    Thanks for your response but this is not what I was looking for. 
    Those articles relate to setting a default template in a SharePoint document or form library.
    I will try to be more concise.
    What I want is:
    (1) For users to be able to load MS Word 2013 on their laptops/desktops (connected to corporate Wireless/LAN)
    (2) Once they have opened MS Word 2013, I want them to be able to choose a template from the welcome screen. (There are MS Word Defaults like 'Blank Document' or 'Cover Letter' etc)
    I want to add a second tab which is called 'Personal' or 'Corporate'.
    (3) MS Word 2013 allows you to create custom WORD templates and save them locally on your machine (either in the default location for templates, or a user-specified custom location (e.g. My Documents, Desktop etc).
    (4) In advanced settings, there is an option to modify file locations. This is where you can point MS Word 2013 towards the folder (locally) that contains the personal templates that you have designed which you want to use.
    (5) QUESTION: Is there a way to have lots of corporate WORD templates (perhaps one for Marketing, Sales, Procurement, Project etc) - Basically LOTS of different templates all stored in one location on SHAREPOINT, or in a SharePoint document
    library. THEN... once those templates (documents) are stored on SharePoint,
    IS THERE A WAY to go back into the advanced settings within MS WORD 2013 and modify the file location for templates so that it points towards the SharePoint document library? 
    I want all the templates to open in MS Word 2013, not within a browser, and I don't want users to have to go to SharePoint to find a template, I want it to be integrated into their local MS Word 2013 so they can choose a corporate template the moment they
    load up MS Word 2013.
    When I have tried to modify the custom file location for templates, I can only set it to an address locally on my machine, or a network address (mapped network drive). 
    However, I do not want the templates to be stored on a shared network folder, I want them to be in a SharePoint Document Library. 
    The issue I have found is that I cannot enter a SharePoint Library URL as my file location, nor can I enter any HTTP address. 
    IS THERE A WAY AROUND THIS?
