MS Office integration for Tx. solar01 and solar02

[Former Member]

Hi!

I have tested the MS Office integration via sa38. It seems to work.

BUT: I cannot open and edit any MS Office documents via Tr. solar01 and solar02.

I have applied different roles to the current user (e.g SAP_SOL_ROCOML).

But it is not possible to edit MS Office document.

According "Configuration Guide" it should either MS Office 2000 or 2002.

I have installed MS Office 2003.

<b>Do this play some role?

Can some give any useful information?</b>

thank you

Hi,

In Microsoft word, Go to Menu Tools and select unprotect document.

This will solve your problem.

feel free to revert back.

Axel,

Are your documents opening in a new window?

Go to SOLAR01 > settings > user-specific > check the Seperate Document Maintenance Window checkbox.

Now when you click the pencil the document opens in a new window and you will see a button on the right hand side that says Unprotect. Additionally, under the tools menu you can select Unprotect Document.

Thank you!

My problem is I cannot open or edit any MS Office documents in the solarxx.

It seems some authorizaitons or activations should be undertaken.

I can open .txt or .html files but not the MS Office documents.

Axel,

are your settings like I described?

Is the document checked out?

have you tried having someone with SAP_ALL attempt to edit the document?

what other type of trouble shooting have you done?

Hi!

Yes, my settings are as you descirbed. Yes, I have SAP_ALL profile

What do you mean with protect document. Is this issue in SAP or in MS Word?

I guess my problem is, that some settings should be done...

Thank you for further information

it's a Word issue usually. The document is protected from changes. You have to unprotect it first. Have you done this?

Hi!

Yes, also the word settings are ok

I guess I have not protect the document.

You mean: MS WORD (DE): Extras (Menu) --> Optionen (Options) --> Sicherheit (Security) --> Dokument schützen (Protect document)

I think it should be a problem on the SAP level (authorizations or settings)

It would be great to get the solution. I am waiting for the answer for two days here.

Thank you very much
