OFFICE 2007
My Office 2007 experience at work has been less then desirable. Among the usual items, such as spending 20 mins trying to figure out how to do things that I finally learned how to do in previous versions, I ran across an annoying issue the other day.
While attempting to open Excel documents for Explorer, I would get the following error:
“Windows cannot find ‘C:\whatever.xls’. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.”
(whatever.xls is just an example). The odd thing was, if i was to go into excel and open the document, it would open fine. After searching the web (apparently this issue is littering the forums without resolutions), I came across the following fix:
1. In Microsoft Office Excel 2007, click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Excel Options.
2. Click Advanced, and then click to clear the Ignore other applications check box in the General area.
3. Click OK.
This appears to have fixed the problem, for now. :) Apparently this can also fix a similar issue for 2003. Similar instructions, click ‘tools, options, general tab, ingore other apps’.
