Saving a doc in Microsoft Office/excel on an ipad

I downloaded the new Excel app and then viewed an excel attachement from an email. So far so good. Now I know you cant edit them without buying the Office 365 but I dont need to edit, only view. But I cant for the life of me work out how to "save" locally to the app. I dont want to have a cloud version I need it locally. Am I missing something or do I have to pay £99 just to save? All the reviews i have raed seem to indicate that you can "save" locally but dont explain how to. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Someone on the previous page just asked a similar question and here is the answer I gave.
There's an app called Jump Desktop (Remote Desktop) in the app store. It's the fourth highest 'paid' app and the third highest 'grossing' app in the business category. (Go to the app store, then click on categories, then business. Then over on the right under top grossing and top paid you can click on Jump and read the reviews.)
You'll be able do do more than read the documents if you want. You can work from your ipad with documents, spreadsheets, etc., make changes in them on your ipad and they will be reflected on your computer (mac or pc.) And you don't need a cellular ipad to make the connection. All you need to do is have your MBP on at home with a wireless network and be in an area where you have wireless access to connect your ipad (or iphone) with your MBP at home.
Jump Desktop (Remote Desktop) RDP/VNC will let you access your mac and all of your mac programs like MS Word, Excel, etc., as they are on your ipad. There's a free trial at jumpdesktop.com. If you like it you can then come back to the App store and buy it. Please note that there are many free apps that will help but you might have to spend extra time adapting your work to an ios app as many (most?) do not translate from mac to ipad well.
Please read the reviews in the app store (I suggest you start with the most recent ones) and read reviews by pro tech reviewers.
Hope this helps.

Unable to save xls file from website in the "Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet" format. The browser is saving in unrecognized "File" Type

The version I am using is 3.6.11
The file is stored in the server in the format "Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet"
But when I download it, it gets saved in the unrecognized format type "File"
The servlet code written to download the file sets the content type to "application/vnd.ms-excel"
I am able to save the file in Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet format using Internet Explorer Browser without any issues.
But it does not work with the Mozilla Firefox. Any plug-in needed to make it work?

Did you try to add the .xls file extension yourself to those files?

Microsoft Office Excel - compatibility Checker message in BPC 7.5

Hello Experts,
We are using BPC 7.5 M with Office 2007 on Application Server, we have upgraded from BPC 5.1 with Office 2003 where Dimension were of .xls and templates & Reports were of .xlt (office 2003 format) , After upgrade we have not done any changes in Dimension, Templates, reports version and they all are in .xls (Dimension) & .xlt (templates & reports) version
We are getting a error while saving a dimension in Admin module (by clicking on "Save to Server" link):
Microsoft Office Excel - compatibility Checker
Significant loss of functionality
Some cells have overlapping conditional formatting ranges.
Earlier version of Excel will not evaluate all of the conditional
formatting rules on the overlapping cells. The overlapping
cells will show different conditional formatting.
Do we need to convert the dimension files in 2007 format (.xlsx) or how to avoid the above told message while saving dimension file.
Thanks,
Rohit

Hi Rohit Khatak,
Could you solve your problem? I'm having this issue while processing ACCOUNT dimension (and only ACCOUNT) on Development environment, and nothing was changed at the server.
Every time I try to save, I receive this compatibility error, and when I press "Continue", the file gets with a strange format. If I press the save again, it stil gives me the same error.
I already tryed to process the dimension, to Refresh Dimension Members, and the error persists.
Is there a way to solve this problem at BW side? On RSD1 maybe?
Thanks in advance.
Yours,
Adriano

I'm curious how you are running this code within excel as I would expect you would've had to write a dll to expose the SDK as COM in order to be able to access it from an excel document.

BEx Analyzer Report error - microsoft office excel is waiting for another

Hi,
I am running a query from BEx Analyzer, it is throwing the error as " microsoft office excel is waiting for another application to complete an ole action "
Here in variable screen, I am trying to give input for the variables, then it is throwing the above error message.

The error message you are receiving means that an Excel macro is waiting for another macro to finish in order to proceed. It is an informational message so you understand why the system is slower than expected.
The solution is on the Microsoft side, see BOJ Note 1201513.
From the MSDN link below, you will see a description of the Display
Alerts Property:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa194195(office.10).aspx
DisplayAlerts Property
wdAlertsNone No alerts or message boxes are displayed. If a macro encounters a message box, the default value is chosen and the macro continues.
The Note suggests changing the "Application.DisplayAlerts = False" to "Application.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsNone"

How can I download Microsoft office excel for my MacBook Pro Mac OSX version for free. Please help me!

How can I download Microsoft office excel for my MacBook Pro for free?

You can't. Excel is a commercial product sold by Microsoft in an Office "package" and not as a stand-alone product.
If you need to be able to open and save Excel documents on your Mac, however, you could try the free LibreOffice.

Empty Presentation Catalog using Oracle BI for Microsoft Office (Excel, PP)

Hi everyone,
after installed Oracle Business Intelligence for Microsoft Office (Excel and PowerPoint) and configured according to this I only see an empty Presentation Catalog when I log on Excel or PowerPoint.
I've already see this thread and nothing seems to solve the problem.
Any ideas?

Hi John,
when I test my connection of Oracle BI for Office it says "Test connection successful", so I suppose there's no problem with connection or port.

Microsoft Office Excel crashing and loosing work not saved or closed

I spent around two hours this afternoon importing 12 months of bank statements into Excel. Half way through a message box appeared saying Excel had stopped working and needed to close down, did I want to send a report. Also there was a check box if I wanted Excel to restart with the last details. I checked this and it worked fine. I even saved a couple of examples whilst I worked on it.
After two hours, feeling a bit jaded, I left the computer with Excel running and when I returned sometime later and logged back in Excel had closed down, not present, and when I fired it back up there was no evidence of the files I had saved in Finder. I looked in every conceivable place but no files. Open Recent didn't show the files either.
Time machine is set to backup every hour but there is an hour missing between two backups.
Has anyone else experienced this behaviour?

OK, the file is in the My Templates folder and I need to access it through the USERS pathway. How do I find the USERS start to nsvigate my way through to My Templates in Microsoft Office?

How to download Microsoft office application on my iPad purchase in Jan 2013

I would like to download Microsoft office on my iPad. I want to create documents (word, excel and Power point) and save in folders. Kindly suggest ways.
Dr.V.K.Mahajan

You can't download MS Office onto an iPad, MS haven't yet made an app version of their office programs.
There are options in the store for word, excel and powerpoint documents. The options include Apple's Pages app for Word documents, Numbers for Excel spreadsheets and Keynote for Powerpoint. And from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD.
How you then get the file to your chosen app will depend upon what the app supports - different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via your wifi network, email, dropbox etc. For Apple's Pages, Numbers and Keynote : copying documents via iTunes.
