Problems viewing Excel 2008 attachments

Since upgrading to Office 2008, we find that we can't view Excel (xlsx) attachments. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a workaround?

Problem solved.
It turns out that during the migration to Lion, Excel.app got lost and was no longer in the Office 2008 folder. I was launching it from the dock. Restored it from Time Machine and all is well.
Stange that the program was lost, though.

Problems with Excel 2008

Hi all,
I just upgraded to Lion and cannot run MS Excel 2008. Word, PowerPoint, and Entourage work just fine. I get this error report (sorry about the long post):
From my untrained eye, it appears that a Library can't be found. Can I restore this from TimeMachine? Appreciate all your help.
Thanks.

Problems pasting from Excel 2008 to Numbers

I'm trying to make the switch from Excel to numbers and ran into the following problem.
If I cut a group of cells from Excel 2008 and try paste it into Numbers it does not work.
I can paste into another place in Excel, Stickies or OpenOffice, but not Numbers.
I can double click a cell in Numbers and paste all the copied into a single cell, but this is not what I want.
Is this a Numbers problem or Excel 2008. Since I can paste from Excel to programs other than Numbers, it seems like a Numbers problem
Anyone else have this problem.
Cheers!

Very weird! I don't think your table is too simple.
I tried a simple table and it failed.
In fact I can copy the table from Numbers and paste it into Excel 2008
But when I copy the same table from Excel and try to paste into Numbers, it fails.
I can however paste into stickies.
*Copy from Numbers*
*Paste into Excel 2008- No Problem*
*Copy from Excel 2008*
*Paste into Numbers - nothing!*
*Paste into a singe cell - Fine*
*Paste into Stickies - Fine*

Unable to View any office attachments

HI,
The New GW2012 webaccess is great, but I am having problems viewing MS Office attachments. JPG or PDF is fine, but not DOC or XLS. Unfortunately some of our users are not allowed to download the documents so they need to be able to view these within webaccess.
Please let me know how I fix this.
Rob Collins

Thanks Rob,
IMHO I would set the --usedva switch in every PO - but others may disagree
I've just found, in my experience, where you have multiple PO's running at different locations you want the PO to be accessing a DVA locally and not one across a link.
But then again, I live and work in Africa where links are dodgy at the best of times!

Unable to view any spreadsheet in Excel 2008

I own current generation Macbook Pro running Apple- provided MS Excel 2008. I also own a Dymo printer that requires a particular kind of script to print labels.
When anyone sends me (by email) a spreadsheet prepared in Excel 2008 or earlier, I canNOT see the data contained in the spreadsheet unless I view it as a "quickview" or within Excel as a web page preview. My wife has the same computer but does not have the same problems. I am thinking either the "script" setting is awry or something is checked or unchecked somewhere. Any thoughts?

OK, so this is the problem. For the record, it may not be anything specific to MS Office. I consider it premature to just send you over there until that has been established.
You said you can't see the attachment, but you can open it with QuickLook. That means you must be able to see it, doesn't it? Have you tried double-clicking it in Mail? Have you tried clicking the "Save" button in Mail? Have you tried dragging the attachment from the body of the message onto your Desktop?
Also, do you and your wife use the same e-mail server? Does it behave the same way when you send it from a different e-mail account and to a different e-mail account (a total of 3 different permutations). Try creating a new user account on your Mac and see if the new account behaves the same way.
I know that is a lot of things to do. I'm trying to gather more information. A common problem lately is that lots of e-mail servers are scrambling either the messages being sent or received in attempts to remove viruses or phishing attempts. Often they leave e-mails in an unusable state. If you want, you can always send an example to me. Select a message, choose "Send Again" from the Message menu and replace the To address with info at etresoft dot com (that's me).
Some people are a bit leery about sending e-mail, but often that is the only way to diagnose this kind of problem. I have done that a number of times here in Apple Discussions. A couple of times I've found bugs in Apple Mail, but usually the problem is elsewhere and I can tell you where that is.

Problem viewing Japanese characters in Excel sent via Email attachment

Hi All
I am using FM '''SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'' to send out an e-mail attachment (Excel file). I am able to receive the Excel file successfully. However I am not able to display the Japanese characters properly in my Excel file.
I tried to display some Japanese characters in my e-mail contents and I have no problem viewing these characters in my e-mail (I am using MS Outlook 2003). These statements becomes something illegible when I transfer it over to Excel as an attachment. In my Internal Table, these characters are displayed correctly as well.
Anyone has any advice to solve this issue?
Thanks for your replies.

Hi Divya,
refer to the link below:
http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/reporting/email/attach_xls.htm
The code in this demonstrates how to send an email to an external email addresswhere the data is stored within a .xls attachment.
Hope this helps.

Excel 2008 Number Problems OS 10.7.5

I have suddenly developed a problem in my Excel worksheets. I cannot get a plain number to show. If I format the cell for either number or general, I get the currency format. Every number has a .00 in it or is rounded off to the numbers before the dot. The one workaround I have found is to enter the number as text, then to convert it to number using the drop down menu in the cell. But that's very tedious to say the least. Anyone else have a problem with this?
I'm working with Excel 2008 with most recent updates and running OS 10.7.5
Thanks

Hi Heistein,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I understand you are having trouble with installing the driver.
I would recommend to take a look through this guide. An 'Unsupported Operating System' Message Displays on a Mac Running OS X 10.7 Lion.
Hope this information helps, and have a great day.

Who is responsible for Excel 2008 display problems?

I have Office 2008 installed on MacBook Pro 15" with an Apple Cinema display attached. The display is set to non-mirrored mode. When I invoke Excel and move it to the larger display I cannot position it to the top of the Cinema display. It will not move higher than the level of top of the the power book display as shown in the System Preferences ->Displays control panel.
If I move the PB display position higher with respect to the Cinema display then Excel will also display higher on the Cinema display.
Who takes ownership of this? Apple or Microsoft?

It sure sounds like an Excel problem. Office 2008 is really a 1.0 release by some new programmers. The core functionality works really well but it is a little rough around the edges.
I don't know of an official way to report bugs. There is a feedback link in the Help menu. I have heard of some people getting results from that.

2008 Installed on Vista "Problem accessing Excel: Exitiing"

I installed Xcelsius 2008 onto my new laptop that has Vista on it and it worked fine until I loaded the SP1 Hot Fix 1.
Now when I open the application I get an error stating "Problem accessing Excel: Exitiing" then the app just closes.
Please help.
Thank you

The UAC setting was the main issue I believe. I was getting many other issues also so I uninstalled and reinstalled everything very methodically with great results.
Thanks to all who posted.

Can no longer open Excel spreadsheets attachments.

I have recently upgraded to iOS 5 on my iphone4 and 3GS and can no longer open Excel spreadsheets attachments from my Hotmail. They come up as an E (which I think is Evernote). I don't want to use Evernote, I just want to view them as I could before. Even simple spreadsheets come as this annoying E when I try to open them. Everything worked fine before I did the iOS 5 upgrade and went with the cloud. I've no idea how to this happend or how to solve it.
Can anyone please help?
Regards

Generally if this happens the thing I have found to do is to quit the application and then restart the application by clicking on one of the files (like the ones in your documnets folder), not by starting the application and using the open command. Doing this immediately will usually solve the problem.
This could also be an indication of some sort of file or disk corruption so I would recommend that you not only check the disk using Disk Utility from the CD but also checking your disk permissions just to be sure. Instructions for doing so can be found in steps one and two here: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html
If the first two steps don't solve the problem then you might as well go to step three, otherwise stop with one and two.
If you have backups and cannot get the files to open then your only other choice will be to restore from the backup copies. Either way I would make sure that my disk was healthy, by following the above noted steps, before doing the restore, otherwise you may corrupt the restored copy.
Good Luck and let us know if this helps!!

Filevault and PowerPoint 2008, Excel 2008

Hi,
Since I got no answer from Microsoft, I thought I try my fellow Mac Users.
My Company requires FileVault be activated on all Mac laptops. With 10.5.x and Filevault enabled, we can not save Excel 2008 or PowerPoint 2008 documents. Word 2008 documents works just fine.
I have tried all versions of Office 2008, 12.0, 12.1, all the way to the current 12.1.4. Same problem occurs.
Anyone have the same experience? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance,
Ed

I have no solution, but I have no such problem even though I work in a corporate environment that uses FileVault. The IT department configures FileVault, however, and it is possible that your company has not enabled something it needs to. It should be easy for your company's IT person to test whether the problem really has to do with FileVault [try a machine with FV off] and, if it does, whether it relates to the configuration [e.g., by using the built-in FileVault with its most permissive setting].
Although I have not experimented with NeoOffice and OpenOffice recently, I am always suspicious about compatibility claims. Even when compatibility is "very good," it is not perfect and the exceptions can bite. Personally, I prefer using Mellel (or Pages) for writing, and Keynote for presentations, but I would never claim more than pretty good compatibiity. Problems can arise, e.g., with respect to graphics, footnotes and endnotes, unusual fonts, and so on. They may be "minor," but not if you don't catch them. Conclusion: get your IT folks to track down the problem.
