      This is working on several machines now. But @romo reports that it is still hit or miss, it's not a reliable or permanent fix, but it more reliable than other attempts. It remains, as MS has stated, somewhat random.

      Just had a very large client reach out and ask for LibreOffice again after moving to MS Office because they found Excel too difficult to get data in correctly. So they are going to LibreOffice for exactly the reason that everyone claims that "everyone" chooses MS Office... LO is easier to use and has better compatibility They own licenses for both, so purchase cost is not a factor. They've used MS Office more time in the last three years. Given less time with LibreOffice and zero "price" incentive, they've chosen it as the superior product for them - with zero prompting from IT. Out of the blue the managers chose it as the better product.

      @Dashrender said in Excel freezing: @wrx7m said in Excel freezing: @VoIP_n00b said in Excel freezing: Excel is a bitch Especially, here. They are running all their forecasts through it. Excel using something like 16GB of RAM for one sheet. As much as that likely belongs on a DB server somewhere - who's going to set it up? and program the new interface, etc? yeah. that has been in the works for over a year. We are syncing the data to SQL and then will be able to run queries and also export it to Domo.

      I won't have any Win 7 systems by that time. At least that is the goal. I was thinking it was Jan 20, 2020. Guess I just confabulated that based on the year being 2020. Still have about 40 systems to issue to replace them.

      Well the report is automatically generated from a system we use here. So if possible, rather than having people have to open 2 files, I'd like the modules to just import when excel launches. I suppose I could bury the modules into the personal file. But I'm not sure if that't the best approach.

      To enable the developer tab, you go to File > Options > Customize Ribbon > ✓ "Developer" Exit this window and go to a new email, and then select the developer tab. From within this tab you can modify the fields.

      For vector design, I use Inkscape. I've designed some logos for people with it and it works really well. I've only used Scribus a couple of times but it seemed fine when I used it.

      OK that's just weird! There was a contact us email address in VLSC. I wrote them, included my license key and business information. They wrote back today indicating that they would create my key and I would receive it in a separate email. Additionally it would be added to my VLSC account. I actually received the email with the KMS key before this email, and sure enough, the KMS key is now in my VLSC account.

      @coliver said: Holy crap. Where was this a few months ago when I was building my click-to-run installer? Thanks for the info. Right?! You can even upload your own and tweak it using that interface instead of going back and forth between notepad and the crappy TechNet doc lol. Another useful script there (and I have to find it to link it) is a reverse engineering script. So let's say you have a C2R deployment out there that you can't determine the current settings easily, it will build an XML file from that individual installation to tell you what's installed, update location, etc.. It's pretty cool stuff.

      @Nara said: @scottalanmiller said: Office 2013 is slower. It just is. You have moved from a Windows native app to a web app. They don't tell you this anywhere but look closely. Office 2013 is actually running in a frameless browser. Are you sure on that? I just took a stroll through my office directory and found all the appropriate DLL files and such that would go along with a regular program. Outlook still has all the native quirks, features, and errors that wouldn't be part of a web app. The interface is running in the browser. It still has some hooks because lots of stuff needs the DLLs. But the part that you see is all in a frameless browser. Lots of applications run this way, it is a lot of Microsoft's vision for the future and makes sense for portability and hostability.
