I was sent an Excel workbook. When I open the book, there is a sheet with some dropdown boxes on it. Not a "form" per se, but just a regular sheet. When I click on one of the dropdowns, it gets highlighted like it's ready to be edited, and a new option pops up in my ribbon for "Drawing Tools". I want to be able to "run" the sheet, so when I click on the dropdown I actually get a dropdown! I'm somewhat new to Excel 2010.
Here is Microsoft's document on how to do this. It is pretty straight forward. Also, when looking for these issues on the internet it helps to include combobox and make sure to specify the program and version in the search.

I have a Visio doc that has ~200 links to a collection of Excel spreadsheets. I have the spreadsheets but the Visio links point to a path that is inaccessible. I would like to change these. Using Visio Plan 2.
By a lot of experimenting the only way I could find was to open the doc, tell Visio to update the links, then when it failed go through the links in the convert dialog that appeared.
This dialog isn't very helpful as the file path is all jammed into a small text box with no resizing controls. Fortunately, I could see the end of the filename and that was sufficient for me to determine which file was for each link.
I had to edit each one of these entries individually as one can't group select and edit in this dialog.
Pain that it was, I did get the links hardcoded to another location, so at least that aspect works.
However, I need to have these as a relative location so that the vsd and xls files can travel together and any other user can open the vsd no matter the location, just so the vsd and xls are in the same folder.
I can't find a way to do this. I tried prepending the file name with '..\filename', Visio complained but I went through and edited all of them, saved, but it failed to find them when I re-opened the document.
How can I make a relative path in these? Is there an easier way to edit the links?
Thanks.

I have a Google spreadsheet which compiles scheduling info for an event. The file has five worksheets. There are two worksheets which I want to publish to the web; the other three are for my use and to drive calculations.
I can see how to publish the entire file, and how to publish an individual worksheet. However, I cannot figure out how to publish say, sheet1 and sheet2 to a single document.
As a short-term workaround I have tried the following, which works after a fashion but I'm not a fan:
Create a new file with two sheets
Sheet1 uses an importrange call to grab the data from the original sheet1
Sheet2 uses an importrange call to grab the data from the original sheet2
I then publish the entirety of the new document
The finished product must be in Google Apps; that is a requirement I cannot dodge.
Solution 1:
You can hide the sheets that you don't want to publish, and then publish the entire document:
Published sheet:
Solution 2:
You can publish selected sheets using the Published Content & Settings options on the Publish to the Web dialog box. In the dropdown menu you can select which sheets to include:
The published spreadsheet would look like this:
Note: It seems that the web page may not display all the selected sheets, only the first sheet. You can file a feature/bug request here:
https://support.google.com/a/answer/6284762?hl=en
What worked for me is that after publishing the spreadsheet, copy the link, then through "Published content & settings" remove the check next to "entire document" and select the ones you want to share.
The details in the upper part of the window will disappear including the link, and the publish button will be green again "pressable".
Your copied link is still active, you can still use it, and only the selected sheets will be seen on the web. It is also modifiable; if you checked different sheets, web share will be updated accordingly.
I've been using Indesign to create some brochures. I export them as SWF to display them as a flip book.
The next step I want to take is to put hyperlinks on each product in my brochure so that when a user clicks them the item gets added to their shopping basket, or something similar.
First I tried using a hyperlink value of ?product=code, but as there's no http://, whenever you open this link it just opens a blank tab.
Secondly I tried a hyperlink value of http://linktosite.com/flipbook.php?product=code. This worked fine but as the users may want to order several products from the catalogue they're going to click on a lot of the links, which will in turn open up loads of new tabs in the browser.
My question is: Is there a way of passing hyperlink values through the same page the SWF is on? I don't want the links to open a new tab everytime.
How can I achieve this?

I recently upgraded to Excel 2010. I was working on a spreadsheet and wrote some code and went to save it and I get this box that pops up. I'm not sure what to do.
From Office 2007 on, Excel has two different file types: XLSX and XLSM. The former is just data and formatting without macros or anything "dangerous." The latter allows macros and other programmatic functionality. The reason for the split is mainly security as each one has a distinct extension and icon to better inform the user on whether or not the file could potentially contain dangerous content.
In this instance, you need to click No, then in the Save As... options select "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook." That will give you the full functionality of the original document.
I have a document library with a workflow that dynamicly sets user permissions to edit these documents when certain criteria is met.
The users who need to edit these items are not the brightest users, so to make it failsafe and simple for them I am customizing the DispForm.aspx to only show 2 fields in the Document Library.
"Document" - Name of the document which is a link that opens the document in MS Word.
"Done?" - Yes/No tickbox.
The user gets an e-mail when they have a task assigned; the e-mail contains an URL to the custom DispForm.aspx, the user clicks the link and voila, they see the customized DispForm.aspx with only 2 fields, they know exactly what to do because they won't get distracted by an information-overdose and the only thing the user has to do is click on the document so it would open in Word, user makes changes to document, saves, ticks "yes" in the "Done?" tickbox and the next workflow starts.
Now I'm having this particular problem, when I customize the document library's DispForm.aspx in Sharepoint Designer and add a custom Sharepoint control (Custom Document Library listform) it does not contain the Name field (which contains the URL). I can manually add that link in Sharepoint Designer but then the document gets opened in the web version of Word and if the user wants to save it, it saves to the local harddrive, instead of the Document Library.
What am I doing wrong? How can I include the right URL to a document in a customized DispForm of a document library which opens the document in Word and saves to the Document library and creates a draft version?
Suggestions, tips or other solutions VERY welcome!
