Office 2002/2003 No edit

[David T]

Hi all,

I have an excel document that is causing me some issues. if a user has
offics 2000 on their PC, Contribute (3.1) will open the document fine and
allow edits. If the user has Office 2002 or 2003, it won't allow edits
(button is grayed out). This could quickly become a major issue. Anyone else
experence this?

Thanks

David

Just an update, we found the problem to this. it turns out that if you
UPGRADE your office version, then you have to go into Contribute and
re-point it to the new folder created by MS Office. The folder name changes
when you upgrade and you lose this pointer.

Edit | Preferences | File editors | select .xls from Extensions | press the
"+" on the editors side and browse to the new Excel.exe location.

Hope this helps anyone else who may have this issue.
