File Preview disables Excel Formula Bar

Hi

I am using Windows XP and Office 2003.
Every time I preview an xls file in DOpus and launch Excel afterwards the formula bar is missing (disabled/hidden). I then have to enable it manually - until the next time.

When disabling the preview of MS Office files I don't have this problem.

Has anyone already encountered that problem? Any ideas on how to solve it?

Cheers

Hi Roger,

Thanks for pointing this out! It has annoyed me in the past and I didn't realise it was caused by my own plugin.

I have created an update to the ActiveX plugin, version 3.1.0.4, which fixes the problem. (For what it's worth, it appears to be a bug in Excel to do with the order that its toolbars are turned off.)

You can download the update from here:

I've only been able to test it with Office 2000 and Office 2007 but since it solves the formula bar problem with both of those I expect it will do the same for Office 2003. Let me know if that isn't the case.

Hi Leo

Thank you very much for this update! It seems to work very well now.
You can add Office 2003 to your list :wink: .

Cheers
