Unable to modify embedded Excel spreadsheet

Unable to modify embedded Excel spreadsheet
I am having problems with 2 Xcelsius files. When I open them and try to change the tab name, the embedded Excel spreadsheet is coming up that it is protected, but I have never put a password on these 2 files.
The following pop-up message appears - "Workbook is protected and cannot be changed".
Please advise.
Thanks,
Neil.

HI Neil
Assuming your using Xcelsius 2008, have you tried exporting the spreadsheet (Data > Export), check the exported workbook for passwords and then re-imported the spreadsheet back into your model?

Cannot Edit Embedded Excel SpreadSheets

There is a user at our company who cannot open Excel 2010 spreadsheets that have been embedded into Word 2010 documents. Sometimes the embedded Excel Spreadsheet will open with a Picture Tools menu ribbon. Other times he gets an error
message that Excel is not installed on his computer. When other users open the same embedded objects on their computers they do not have any problems. I have replaced his computer but the problem continues with the new computer. I have also logged onto his
computer with a different user account and I do not have a problem opening the embedded Excel spreadsheets. The user has Administrator rights on his own computer. We all have Windows 7 Enterprise and Office 2010 Professional Plus installed on our computers.
Thanks in advance for any assistance with this issue.

Hi,
Try this:
============
1.
Go to Excel.
2.
Click File > Options >
Advanced, then in the “General” section, remove the tick from “Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)“.
For the general troubleshooting, you may refer to:

Problem with embedded excel spreadsheet in Word document.

I am having trouble with a word document that has an embedded excel spreadsheet in it. If you double click on the spreadsheet to edit it, the following error message appears:
"The program used to create this object is Excel. That program is not installed on your computer. To edit this object, you must install a program that can open the object."
I know that Excel is installed on the PC. The PC is running Windows XP SP3 x86 and Office Professional Plus 2007. I have tried editing the spreadsheet on a PC running Windows 7
Pro x64 with the same version of office and it works just fine. I cannot find any differences in the setting between the two so I do not know why it works one place but not the other.
Any ideas?

If you double click on an Excel file in Windows Explorer, does Excel startup? If not, right click on such a File and used the Open with item to set Excel as the default program for opening such files.
If you need to do that, it may also overcome the issue with the embedded worksheet.
Hope this helps.

Word doc with embedded Excel spreadsheet

I have a Word (2010) doc in which I have embedded Excel (2010) spreadsheets. We cannot open the spreadsheets after I convert the doc to pdf. Is there a step I'm missing, or is this not possible? Thanks

Content of the embedded object in a Microsoft Office application does not come over to PDF.
Basically PDF, being a completely different file format / technology from the MS applications' format(s)/technology, does not support this feature.
You can create a PDF from Word that has not embedded objects.
Now, with the PDF open in Acrobat you can attach the Excel files.
Be well...

OLE2 Manipulation of embedded Excel object - need assistance

We are struggling to successfully manipulate an OLE2 embedded Excel spreadsheet from within Forms to update the cells driving an Excel chart using data from an Oracle data table.
All code examples we have found deal with opening an existing file based Excel spreadsheet using OLE2 and manipulating that object, but we have found nothing on opening an embedded Excel spreadhsheet object.
Using the GET_INTERFACE_POINTER function passing in the name of the OLE2 item to obtain a handle to the spreadsheet embedded object seems to return a valid value, but referencing this handle in subsequent calls to GET_OBJ_PROPERTY fails.
The documentation suggests that calling the GET_INTERFACE_POINTER function passing in the name of the OLE2 container item that contains the embedded spreadsheet should open the spreadsheet, activate the spreadsheet and return a handle to the spreadsheet. The behavior doesn't suggest this causing us to wonder if the docs are not accurate and we are really getting back a handle only to the OLE2 container and not to the spreadsheet itself. If this theory is true then how does one properly reference the spreadsheet?
Can anyone shed some light preferably in the form of some working code examples of how we can manipulate Excel 'Cell' objects in a Forms OLE2 embedded Excel spreadsheet?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Try to use:
DECLARE
handle ole2.obj_type;
MySheet ole2.obj_type;

row pls_integer:=1;

new_val varchar2(1000);

verb_cnt pls_integer;
loop_cntr pls_integer;
verb_name varchar2(1000);
BEGIN
select TO_CHAR( sysdate, 'dd.mm.yyyy hh.mi.ss' ) INTO new_val FROM dual;
-- Open document
ok_verb:=false;
verb_cnt_str := Forms_OLE.Get_Verb_Count('OLE1');
verb_cnt := TO_NUMBER(verb_cnt_str);
FOR loop_cntr in 1..verb_cnt

    verb_name := Forms_OLE.Get_Verb_Name('OLE1',loop_cntr);

Working with Excel spreadsheet embedded in access table

Hello!
I have Access DB which contain Excel spreadsheet objects embedded in table. To work with DB I use ADO-Tool based on ActiveX. Data passed to my program from GetRows method as 2D array of variants. As I understand I should convert variant to object refnum and then use this refnum with property and invoke nodes to get data from spreadsheet. How to select data type for VariantToData to work with Excel spreadseet?

Hi,
Isn't it the same that using Index Array function? I believe that problem is in conversion of variant to refnum. For example, if I change refnum data type to string in Variant To Data, no error appears, and I've got some text data (see the attachment).

Property Loader with Excel spreadsheet embedded into a Word doc

I know I can load test limits from an Excel doc using Property Loader but can I load test limits from an Excel table embedded in a Word document? Has anyone ever done this?

Jules,
I looked into how this could be accomplished, and it doesn't look like it is possible using off the shelf methods. Please if anyone figures out how to do that, i would strongly encourage you to write a Community Example . I think your closest work around would be to have the excel document linked in the word document http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA101208101033.aspx . Unfortunately in this situation, the excel file is still seperate from the word doc, and anyone reading the word doc would have to open the excel through the link to view its contents. Also if you move the document, you have to remember to move or change the path of the link. What is your motivation behind having the Excel Spreadsheet in a word document? I agree it would be a novel Idea, but as of now when you copy the object into the word document, it gets encapsulated by the .doc or .docx, and there is no clean easy way I have found to abstract it out. I also looked into the potential of dynamically linking the excel spreadsheet and word document, so when you would update one...it would update the other automatically, unfortunately this functionality doesn't exist (that I could find). Sounds like a pretty good product suggestion for microsoft though ; ) Keep me updated if you find a better work-around.

Unable to open excel spreadsheet in iWork 2.2

I have just purchased iWork 2.2 and am unable to open any microsoft excel spreadsheets. Any suggestions?

Susy,
Running Software Update might help. Numbers 2.2 is not the latest revision. Not all Excel document types are compatible. What is the extension on the file you are having trouble with?

Unable to work in embedded Excel worksheets, errors out, and forced into task manager

I am unable to work in Excel worksheets embedded Word 2010. I continually get the following errors/warnings: "Microsoft Word can't start the application required to open this object. An error occurred and this feature
is no longer functioning properly. Would you like to repair this feature now?" & " "The program used to create this object is Excel. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install Excel or ensure
that any dialog boxes in Excel are closed." After these messages, I click to repair Word and upon a fresh reboot ...the same thing over and over and over again. After going through this procedure, I usually get another warning message regarding "OLE...." which
pops up continually until I "Ctrl-Alt-Del" and stop the Excel item in processes.
Currently I'm on Win7 64 Enterprise OS and 32 Bit Office 2010, Solutions that I have tried: disabling add-ins, updating, installing service packs with no success...
HELP PLEASEEEEEE!!!!

Hi,
You disable COM Add-in in Excel or Word ?
This problem might be related to some third-party in Excel,
Close word, and start Excel worksheet.
In Excel, click File menu, click Options >
Add-ins, click Go button in the Manage:
COM Add-ins.
Check if there has any add-ins, clear the checkbox to disable them.
Start Word and try to edit your embedded files. They should now work without a problem.
If the problem does not appear, restart Excel and add one check back each time to the list of Add-In, restart the Excel program, and
repeat the above procedure. Once the issue reappears again, we can determine which add-in causes this problem and then disable it.
Best Regards.

EXCEL spreadsheet with MACROS

WILL NUMBERS 2009 SUPPORT AN EXCEL SPREADSHEET WITH EMBEDDED MACROS?

Looks like Excel will get macros back. This is from Wikipedia:
Microsoft has announced that the Mac OS X version will also be released in 2010. Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac will include more robust enterprise support and greater feature parity with the Windows edition. An all-new version of Outlook with full Exchange support will return to the Mac for the first time since 2001 and replace Entourage[47], and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA, aka "macro" support) will return after being dropped in Office 2008[48][49]. There is no public beta for the Mac version,[50] however, a copy of Beta 2 (Build 14.0.0.100326) has been circulated among many Mac file sharing websites. [51]

How to view excel spreadsheet in java

Hello
Is there a way to open an excel spreadsheet in java? I don't mean reading and writing from an excel file, but instead embedding excel in java. For example instead of launching excel using the Desktop class and opening a new excel window, Java would open an instance of excel and add it to Jframe or Jpanel. Sort of like what Eclipse does when you Open a file with In_Place Editor. Google returns results on how to use some windows dll file and using active x control or whatnot.. Was wondering if there is a better and simpler way..
Thank you.

Create PDF Acrobat X Pro - does not display embedded excel 2010 tables in word 2010 properly

Hello,
I bought Acrobat X Pro and the first document I used 'Create PDF' on was a Word 2010 document with embedded (read linked) Excel 2010 tables.
When I opened the document after creating it the linked tables had a little arrow in the corner of a white box with a help text message of "click here to activate". The pdf is basically unusable.
Is there a setting to ensure that these embedded excel tables are created as normal tables - I do not want to have to keep pasting in tables/images into my Word documents when they are all updating automatically.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Regards,
Craig

Hello,
i am having exactly the same issue with Acrobat X Pro - with linked Excel 2010 tables in Word 2010.
Has there been a resolution to this eissue - it is potentially very time consuming to work around this issue for me.
I would post my files but I don't know how to attach them to the thread - only my second post .
Cheers,

This is the Word File - the table is an Excel 2010 spreadsheet linked (via Paste Special >Link) .
This is the resultant PDF file:
