Saving/Opening documents to SharePoint 2013 from within Office 2010 applications

I was hoping that Office 2010 would work nicely together in terms of saving to and opening documents from SharePoint 2013. Alas, I was disappointed and somewhat surprised to see that opening/saving documents in SharePoint from within Office still
involves copying, pasting and hacking the URL of the document library in the Save or Open dialogue box. I was fully expecting that Office 2010 would have display some sort of SharePoint navigation so you could view your sites and document libraries in a similar
way to folders. A mature document management system this ain't!
Anyone have any advice on how to improve the Open/Save to/from SharePoint experience in Office 2010? I'm open to the idea of Office add-ins whether third party or official Microsoft.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply, but that's from within SharePoint, not Office?
An example scenario: I create a new document or receive a document, I'm in the document, and I want to publish the document to a document library in SharePoint. At the moment I would have to save the document, load up SharePoint, navigate to the document
library and then go through the upload process.
I should really be able to, from within Word, select File - Save to SharePoint (say) and then be able to navigate to the document library I want to publish to. Really basic DMS stuff that I'm surprised isn't there!
Similar thing to opening a document. I should be able to Open from SharePoint, navigate to the document library via some sort of navigation box, and open it.
Thoughts appreciated.

  • Problem opening documents from SharePoint (2013) libraries with Office 2010 and 2013 components installed

    Hi
    I've been encountering the problem of Office files failing to open from SharePoint 2013 libraries with the prefix of 'ms-excel:ofv|u|' etc. in the url. Following the
    helpful questions and answers in the forum, I've identified the likely cause as the fact that my main Office installation is 2010, but I also have installed OneDrive for Business 2013 (which I need in order to sync document libraries with my local drive).
    The solution I've seen suggested elsewhere of deactivating the SharePoint integration of Office 2013 components fails for two reasons: there is no way (or at least, I can't find one) of deactivating SharePoint integration probably because, deactivating
    SharePoint integration would likely stop the syncing of libraries/folders.
    One thing that I have noticed in my case that I've not seen mentioned elsewhere is that if I right-click a document and select 'open in new tab/window' the required
    document opens directly in the relevant office package. I don't know if this is a useful observation, but it seems to be new information.
    My question is, is there a way I can continue to sync libraries and open Office documents directly in Office 2010? My thoughts are possible changes to registry settings
    (which I can do, but don't know enough to find the correct ones myself) or (re)installation of software in some appropriate order to leave the correct settings.
    I have 'repaired' my Office 2010 installation without any observed affect on behavior.
    Thanks
    Ray
    (I've just seen a suggestion that Office 2010 SP2 may fix this issue. I've requested to test this, but whilst this may fix my problem, rolling it out to
    other users may be more problematic. In the meantime, other suggestions of solutions are welcome)

    Hi,
    According to your description, it is a good way to do a test about office 2010 SP2, here is an article about this issue- limitations of using the OneDrive for Business sync app with Office 2010 applications , it may help you.

    "OWA uses an access token to talk to SharePoint 2013.  It cannot use this when talking to 2010.  In order to work with 2010, you have to create a custom display template that converts the file url to an openurl link. "
    BUT...
    may anyone give more information how to do this?
    Links to articles? Links to description and samples?

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to preview documents from SharePoint 2010 in search results in SharePoint 2013.
    Per my knowledge, the Office Web Apps is configured to work with SharePoint 2013, so it will not work with documents in SharePoint 2010.
    I recommend to configure Office Web Apps to work with SharePoint 2010
    and make sure that documents can be previewed in SharePoint 2010 using Office Web Apps to see if the documents can be previewed in SharePoint 2013 search result.

  • How can I Hide(not Disable) the Save As and Exit options in the File menu of Excel Documents in SharePoint 2013?

    Hi,
    I want to hide(not disable) the "Save As" and "Exit" options in the File Menu of Excel Documents in SharePoint 2013.When I make changes in the excelribbon.css file of xlviewer.aspx,all the options under File menu are getting hidden but
    I want to hide only these two options while retaining the others.
    Kindly suggest me a method to achieve this.
    Looking forward to your reply at the earliest.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sanjana

    Hi Sanjana,
    To hide the “Save As” and “Exit” options in xlviewer.aspx page in SharePoint, I recommend to use the code below(however it is not recommended):
    <style>
    div.cui-menusection li.cui-menusection-items:nth-child(2)
    display:none !important;
    div#m_excelWebRenderer_ewaCtl_menuJewelSaveAs{
    display:none !important;
    div#m_excelWebRenderer_ewaCtl_msJewelSecondary{
    display:none !important;
    </style>
    As “:nth-child()” selector is supported in IE 9 and later versions, please use IE 9 or later versions’ IE browser.

  • After saving, word documents have been disappearing from my macbook air

    After saving, word documents have been disappearing from my macbook air. Have checked outlook temp files, temporary files don't show them, can't find them anywhere.

Please help someone!!!

    Hi there. If you have save file selected in word you should be able to find it. Here is some options.  http://superuser.com/questions/845543/accidentally-clicked-dont-save-in-new-word -document  You could select the finder, then Go from the top menu and then go to folder from the drop down list.

  • Multiple File Attachment Column in Document Library (SharePoint 2013)

    Hi All,
    As per default, i will have only one column to attach documents in Document Library . But i need to add multiple column for documents attachment in same row.
    e.g. See below column
    1)Project Name    2) Attachment 1      3) Attachment 2          4)Attachment 3       5)Attachment 4     
    Kindly help me for creating such column (Hope there should be any coding requirements)

    Hi Vrij,
    According to your issue what my understanding that  if you need multi-document attachment is required then
    then its not possible by default  because As we had known, the Upload Multiple Documents option is deprecated in SharePoint Server 2013.
    To work around this issue, my suggestion is  do one of the following to upload documents to the SharePoint Server 2013 document library:
    Use the Windows Explorer view
    Use the SharePoint Server 2013 drag-and-drop functionality
    http://www.learningsharepoint.com/2012/11/29/how-to-upload-multiple-documents-in-sharepoint-2013/
    If you still want to use this function, there are some third-part software's you can have a look at.

  • Start a BO report from within a web-application.

    Hi,
    An enuser want to start a BO report from within a web-application.
    The BO report ideally should not prompt for a login. The fact that we are using BO for reporting purposes should be transparent to the end users. The report should produce its output directly in Excel (pdf?) format. In WebI i can do a 'Save As' to obtain this, but it should go automatically so that the end users get their response directly in Excel
    the report should be parametrized. These parameters will be added to the URL by the calling application.
    To do a basic test of the Opendocument.jsp i created a number of test reports in WEBI, and i use the following URLs to execute them directly
    http://s-olaf-vtst150:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?&sPath=[My reports]&sDocName=tmsd1&sType=rep&sRefresh=Y
    http://s-olaf-vtst150:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?&sPath=[My reports]&sDocName=Yearselection&sType=rep&sRefresh=Y&lsSYear:=2002
    So this covers points 1 & 4
    What are the options for points 2 & 3?
    Kind regards,
    Johan

    The BO XI 3.1 environment works quite well now.
    Two more questions:
    1. When a user being member of the Readers group, still sees the Edit button in Webapplication - Infoview. Is it possible to hide or disable that Edit button ?
    2. Is it possible to make a user only seeing a part of the data in the universe ? When a query is run with a parameter, the user ses the parameter in the left column ... but in that way a normal user can change the value of that parameter giving him the possibility to see things he should not see. Making a separate query per user is overkill and too much work to do. Is BO XI 3.1 able to offer this possibility and how ?
    Rgds,
    Johan

  • 2010 Publishing Approval Workflow not triggered from Office 2010 application

    I have a peculiar situation to which I have been Googling for weeks now but to no avail.
    Basically, I have configured a publishing approval workflow to fire when the user checks in a word document as a Major version. I tested it and all was fine. I later found that on a select few PC's on the office network the prompt (workflow initiation
    form) was not popping up when checking the document in via the office 2010 word client and therefore the workflow wasn't being initiated.
    I have gone down many avenues of group policy, SP permissions, AD settings, even reinstalling office but nowhere nearer to solving the issue.
    Please bear in mind I have it configured correctly from a SharePoint point of view i.e. checked the box to allow workflow to be manually started & start to approve publishing on major version.
    This might be a clue: it works when checking in via SharePoint but not when checking it in via word, therefore indicating a desktop client or office issue. 
    Does anybody have any knowledge of what triggers the initiation form to fire and what might block it or not register its existence from an office app point of view? Any general comments would be welcome.
    Spec of problem machines: - Windows 7 (x32/64), Office 2010 Std, SharePoint 2013 server (but using 2010 workflow in this case).
    Marc Grocott

    Hi Marc,
    Based on your description, my understanding is that when you check in a major version from word, the workflow initiation form not appear.
    In order for Document Approval workflows to work seamlessly with word, you can tick the option: "Allow this workflow to be manually started by an authenticated user with Edit Item Permissions".
    Here is a detailed article for your reference:
    Approval workflow does not start from Microsoft Word

  • Does Visio 2013 work with Office 2010?

    Does Visio 2013 work with Office 2010?

    Tuesday 01/06/2015
    Take a look at this Microsoft KB
    KB2784668
    It has one reference to Visio and the support / install order of Office.
    Now with that said, regardless of 2010 vs. 2013, you can NOT mix 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Office.
    For example, lets say I installed Office 2010 SP2 64-bit
    (FYI... How to determine Office 2010 SP file version
    KB2121559)
    I then want to install Visio 2013 32-bit, the install will not work.
    You cant mix 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Office Products.
    TechNet article explains more...TechNet
    (FYI...A few more people are asking the same question...)
    Forum 1
    Forum 2
    (How to determine which version 32-bit or 64-bit version of Office is installed 
    Stackoverflow.com)
    Above article is dependent on Full Office being installed...  You can also query the DisplayName REG_SZ key as well, it will report back the Office version.
    Registry Location:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
    Look for the Office GUID in my example for 2010 64-bit SP2....
    Now with the above said, below are notes from one of our desktop support techs in regards to issues we have seen internally running Office 2010 32-bit SP1 and SP2 on Win 7 x64 Enterprise with Visio 2013.....
    Office interops. The ability for office and other applications to communicate with other office apps.
    The first instance today: User sends corporate communications from word using the send to mail recipient feature. After visio 2013 installed, he received a message stating that word could not communicate with outlook, to either repair office or check the
    server. Office was repaired, new outlook profile created. After research, discovered the office is sensitive to various versions in regards to interops. Discovered that Visio 2013 was installed around the time user experienced issues. After uninstalling visio,
    when launching word it began to configure (like for a first time install), the send mail to recipient feature began working. This probably will affect anyone with visio 2013. Visio 2010 was not reinstalled afterwards, as user barely uses it and was hesitant.
    Installation files are still on his machine in the event that he does need it reinstalled. Office version is 14.0.7109.5000 User is on Office 2010 SP2
    The second instance today: Teammate stopped working 3 weeks ago according to user. After working through several support groups here and working with the vendor support, the vendor noted that some dll’s from the application were not registered. If that didn’t
    fix it they suggested a reimage. After registering the dll’s, issue persisted. After further troubleshooting, determine that the feature that did not work for user consisted of teammate downloading information from a system, parsing it, then outputting it
    to a word document. The application provided no error of any sort, it just would never get to the word document portion. Discovered that Visio 2013 was installed around the time that the issue occurred, and that the issue appeared to be related to office interops.
    I uninstalled Visio 2013 and it began working as designed. In both cases Visio 2013 had been installed on 11/25/2014 (I didn’t see any corporate communication about an upgrade, but maybe one took place?). Office version is 14.0.7109.5000 User is on Office
    2010 SP2
    I’m not sure if you have much experience with interops, but pretty much anytime you want to communicate with a different office application, that is how it is done. Per my reading through various Microsoft KB’s and support forums, different version interops
    do not play well together always. It appears that these applications are trying to communicate to office 2010 (v 14) using 2013 (v15) interops, only after installing visio 2013 professional. Users were both Windows 7 x64. We also had a group of several users
    who also ran into issues with sharepoint not working in any browser, turned out the problem was Visio 2013 was well....
    Feel free to research more, but my own research comes down with having both 2010 and 2013 interops on the machine. To simplify it, the applications and office apps are being told to communicate using office 2013, and but only listen in 2010, causing problems.
    Its not causing problems with every simple interop, or we would see it far more widespread, but we are going to continue to see the “ghost” issues where Visio 2013 is the root cause, but nothing is really going to scream it.

  • Credential Pop up while opening word document in SharePoint 2013

    Hi
    When I open office documents from SharePoint library, it is asking for credentials. Even if I put my credentials, pop up window will not go away. I have IE 11 and SharePoint 2013.
    I have put this site in trusted site zone. User Authentication  - Automatic logon with current user name and password.
    I have clicked on Remember my credentials. I can see my saved credentials in credential manager.
    The thing is, I was able to open word document without asking for password before. But recently, I have changed IE settings to be default level for some other reason, and since then it is asking me for credentials.
    I looked online so many articles, but nothing has helped me yet.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi Cameron
    Thanks for your response. Yesterday night, when I tried to open documents from sharepoint site from my home, it didn't ask me for credentials. I was using same laptop which I used in the office.
    Again, today in the office, It started asking for credentials when I open office document.
    The only difference is internet connection is different between my home and the office.
    Not sure what could be the issue.
    Thanks

    We have a word document uploaded to SP on which we work a lot. I uploaded it yesterday and continued to work on the document. This morning when I wanted to open the document I get the message from Word: "Could not open 'http://xxxxxxxxx/sites/documents/General/document.docx'
    (where xxxx is the name of the server).
    This is the second time that we have this issue.
    Except this message there is nothing on SharePoint log site.

    Hi,
    You mentioned this works fine externally.  Internally are the sites HTTPS or HTTP? 
    If it is HTTP, what does the AAM map look like?  If it’s HTTPS, where does SSL terminate on the NLB/TMG or on the servers?
    You mentioned you tried on multiple web applications, did you try and create a brand new one using just a server name as the URL? 
    If so what was the behavior?
    You should be able to find the error message in the ULS logs. 
    Check all the servers, maybe it’s an unexpected server.  Also make sure that verbose logging is enabled.
