Word / excel files (from my XP computer) on my external harddisk are read only!

For merging my software from my old XP pc to my new Apple Imac i use an external hard disk,
Now I see that excel and word files are read only!
What's the problem?

Drag the files to the hard disk before opening them, or install a program such as Paragon NTFS.

Office 2013 can't open word, excel files from the network after upgrade to 8.1

Hello,
Recently, I upgraded all PCs from WIN 8 to Win 8.1. After the upgrade I noticed that I can't open any word documents and excel files. Before the upgraded I have no problem opened any files. All PCs have over 500GB free space on hard drive. Other PCs that
run Win 7 have no problem open them only the one with Win 8.1. This is what I got:
I right click--> property and there is no unblocked. All files resided on the network server.
Please help.
Jimmy

Hi Jimmy,
Did you get any error message when you try to open an Excel file/Word document?
If so, you can post the error message and event log here.Also ,if you had antivirus software installed, try to disable them to test this issue.
In addition, what happens if you add the network server location as a trusted location?

How come I can't open Excel files from a Windows computer on my Mac?

My roommate created several Excel spreadsheets on his Windows XP computer and saved them. I put a USB drive in his computer and copied those files to the USB drive and then placed the USB drive in my MacBook. When I go to open the file, it indicates that the files are being used by another user and that it can't open them. What's going on?

What happens if you copy them to the computer and eject the USB drive?

Excel 2008 wont open excel files from at WHS network share.

hi all
i have a strange problem here, i own a mac mini the 2.53ghz model bought a month ago, and a macbook (the white model) also bought a month ago, both running all the latest software updates, and office 2008 for mac, with all the latest updates
on the mac mini, i can´t open any excel documents that are stored on a shared folder on my windows home server, it just says
excel cannot open this file the file might have been damaged or modified from its original format
but when i try to open the same document on the macbook, it opens just fine?
i have tried to remove office 2008 and reinstall it on the mac mini, but that didnt help, and the strange thing is if i move the excel files, from my windows home server, to another windows home server, it opens just fine on the mac mini
i then suspected that it was the WHS that was ****** up, and deleted the account on the WHS where the folders were stored, rebooted the whs, and added the account again, but with the same result, the mac mini wont open the excel files, it will open word files, from the same folder.
and the macbook will still open both excel and word files, from the same folder?
i´m really confused now, and cant seem to pinpoint the error, and hope that someone can give me some pointers of where to look?
sincerely

You're pobably better off posting your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as it's their software you're having issue with:

How do I move large files from a Windows computer to my MacBook Pro? There are a lot of photos (tiffs

How do I move large files from a Windows computer to my MacBook Pro? There are a lot of photos (tiffs, jpgs, some photoshopped files), iTunes library, word docs. Is there a particular type of external hard drive that can be used or am I limited to copying stuff onto z-drive and moving that way?

If both computers are on the same network, you can share the files from the Windows host using SMB and mount the share on the Mac. Otherwise, the Mac should be able to read (not necessarily write) any storage device formatted in Windows.

Can't open Excel files from Sharepoint 2013

I am having an issue with opening Excel files from SharePoint 2013. If I click on an excel file it comes up with the error below.
If I click Try again I get the message below also:
If I try to open Word or PDF files they open correctly in the appropriate client and I have the option of checking them out and editing them. Any ideas why this would only be happening to Excel files?
Thanks,
Shaun

Hi Shaun,
I understand that the Excel files cannot be opened from SharePoint in Microsoft Excel.
Can these files be viewed in the browser?
I recommend to download a copy of the files with issue and then open them in Excel to see if the issue still occurs.
If above cannot work, I recommend to repair Office.
Best regards.
Thanks

Can't email MS-Word, Excel files

I am trying to email MS-word and excel files from those programs. I select File, Send to, but the send to mail recipient option is not operative. I can't select it, its not illuminated. Any ideas how to fix this so I can email MS-word and Excel files?

Hi,
Whether you use office 2013.
Considering this .doc file can be smoothly opened in Office if you downloaded it to your local, it indicates that the Word document and Microsoft Word doesn’t have any problems. The issue may be caused by the compatibility between Office
and your site.
1.Check whether you have the SharePoint OpenDocuments Class add on enabled at first.
Internet Explorer >Tools iron > Manage add-ons >
Choose to Show All add-ons. Find SharePoint OpenDocuments Class and make sure it’s enabled.
2.go to Compatibility view settings > add your SharePoint site to compatibility view
3.go to Internet Options,
Advanced > Reset… > Check Delete personal settings and reset
Security > Trusted sites > sites > add SharePoint sites to trusted sites
4.If it doesn’t work, please open Word, go to Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Protected View > Uncheck all.
Best Regards,

Fetch excel file from app. server using open dataset...

Hello Experts,
Our functional consultant is asking me if it possible to get an excel file from the
application server file using OPEN dataset and in background mode? If yes, Please tell me on how to do this.
Thank you guys and take care!

Hi Viraylab,
to download this the procedure:
you can use the FM 'EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT ' for this purpose.
this FM 'EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT' can be used to start Excel with a new sheet and transfer data from an internal table to the sheet.
Here are some of the parameters:
file_name: Name and path of the Excel worksheet file e.g. ?C:TEMPZTEST?
data_tab: Name of the internal table that should be uploaded to Exvcel
fieldnames: Internal tabel with column headers
How to build the field names table:
data: begin of i_fieldnames occurs 20,
field(60), end of i_fieldnames.
i_fieldnames-field = ?This is column 1?. append i_fieldnames-field.
i_fieldnames-field = ?This is column 2?. append i_fieldnames-field.
to upload follow this:
OPEN DATASET dsn FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
DO.
READ DATASET dsn INTO itab-field.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
APPEND itab.
ELSE.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.

or Try this function module.

Copying file from a local computer into mapped LAN share.

I tried to copy a file from a local computer into a Z: disc (a LAN share). I tried to use every method i found on the internet. Using io, nio.. nothing works. It works well on the local computer, but not through LAN. It says that there is not enough of system resources to go on (i'm talking about big files.. more than 200mb... small files are accepted).

Hi,
Flash itself has no filewriting capabilities other then the
SharedObject
stuff.
But why can't you call a php script? You could install
apache, PHP and
MYSQL on the computer running the Flash app and get it all
into the
database in one go.
Otherwise you either need to get going with AIR (Adobe
Integrated
Runtime), or use a wrapper application like Adobe Director
(which has
tons of ways to write to file through it's plethora of
Xtras.) Director
may be 'a bit' hard on your budget if you only use it for
this purpose
though.
The XMLSocket is for connections to some server, local or
remote, not to
a file.

I want to open an excel file from a folder in the Microsoft live office on Hotmail. Their instruction is to go to tools in Firefox, go to plug-ins and then install Microsofts Office 2010. Can't find plug-h. Help?

I have uploaded an excel file from my desk top to the Windows Live (HOTMAIL?) office suite. When I try to open the file I get an error that says my system is not supported. My system passes all of the listed criteria except for one. That is a plug in from Firefox. The instructions say to go to the Firefox menu, click on tools then plug-ins. Of course when I go to tools plug-ins is not immediately available, but when I do go to plug-ins, I am to click on Microsoft Office 2010. This plug in is supposed to allow earlier versions of office documents to be viewed as well as Office 2010. The plug-in is not available. When I search the Firefox website I am not able to find such a plug-in.
I am using Microsoft XP, Office 2007 and the version of Firefox prior to V4. V4 does not support all of my e-mail clients so am not able to use V4.

I am using Microsoft XP, Office 2007 and the version of Firefox V4 but I have this same problem.

Upload Excel File from Portal (R/3 working fine)

Hi Experts!!
We have a report in which we are uploading an excel file from presentation server into an itab. When F4 clicked for file path, browser will open for choosing the path. Now, we have created an iView in Portal for this t-code. However, F4 is not working from Portal, rather giving an error 'Please wait. You will be forwarded automatically. This page had to be included for technical reasons.'.
We need to upload excel file even from Portal too. Can somebody please give me some inputs or suggestions?

Hi Jigar,
Now I am able to get into SAP screen. However it's not opening the t-code that I mentioned. I gave some Z t-code ZTEST. Once I check the iView, it is showing SAP screen with the below things:
Service Type:
Service ID:
TCode: ZTEST
Object Type:
Key:
Field 1:
Val. 1:
Field 2:
Val.2:
Field 3:
Val 3:
And at the bottom it's giivng a warning message:
Object type or object does not exist
Message no. 1W001
In iView properties I can see Object Type as com.sapportals.portal.iview. Is this the same Object Type that the message is talkign about? Can you please help me out?

How do I move my iTunes files from an old computer (Windows XP) to a new one (Windows 7 Professional)?

Can anyone tell me how to move my iTunes music and book files from an old computer running Windows XP to my new one running Windows 7 Professional? Do I download and install iTunes on the new system then use the backup and restore functions? If so, it looks like the backup only goes to CDs or DVDs; there are so many files that using a USB drive would make more sense, but that does not appear to be an option. Would it work to simply copy the iTunes folder under My Music to the new computer and assume that iTunes would find it? Thank you, very much, for any help and guidance.

Apple has tutorial and FAQ articles on moving and importing here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes
There is a great set of articles on iTunes and how to over on
