Can't open an embeded excel sheet from MS word
Hello everyone,
I know that this question had been asked several times, but I just can't find a solution/root cause for it.
I can't open an embeded Excel sheet from an MS word doc. the excel sheet is inserted without any issues, however, when I double click on it to edit it, I receive the following error message:
"The application used to edit this file is Excel. Excel isn't installed on this machine. Please install the application."
My setup is as follow:
- Windows SP3 with all security updates and patches
- MS Office 2007 SP2 - up to date on patches and updates
- No MS Learning Essentials plug-in is installed
- nor any 2005/2008 SQL plug-in (as suggest in previous posts)
Have tried:
- running Office diag - came back with no errors
- did a repair on the MS Office 2k7 - still same issue
- uninstalled office 2007 completely, ran CCleaner, then ran through the install again, but still same issue.
Your help is greatly appreciated

If the above doesn't help then try this.
1. Right-click on the Excel object
2. Click Worksheet Object -> Convert...
3. Choose Microsoft Office Excel Binary Worksheet
4. Click OK
After it converts it to a Binary worksheet, Change it back to Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet.

I actually have tried the convert to binary trick, no go :(. we're using Symantic End Point for our A/V. Also please note, that some machines on the network have the issue, while others don't.
please advise
thank you,

I was able to open the embedded object. Is this the file which opens fine on one machine but not the others?
Sid
Sid
that is correct. I can open the file w/o any issues on my machine, but not two others. I also ran a query against all three machine to see if there any 3rd party apps / plug-in, but there wasn't much difference if terms of the installed apps.

It was a third party plug-in causing this issue. Even when the plug-in was "disabled" it was causing the issue. Once I uninstalled it. everything is back to normal. Thanks Everyone.
