Template submission error

[sat]

When I was trying to submit an EXCEL 2007 template the submission didn't go
through and the error reporting said it might be any one of the following
problems (the usual list I guess)
- non-Access active content such as macros, embedded objects, linked
images, ActiveX controls
[my situation] : i dont have macros and it is saved in non-macro (.xltx)
format. No linked images, no ActiveX controls BUT I DO HAVE a few Images! Are
they termed as embedded Objects???
- template has bad title, display name, category or description
[my situation] : Have normal usage I guess :-( How can I find out if
something is wrong here!
- the template is missing an Access preview image
[my situation] : Not applicable since it is Excel template
- not for one of the following 2007 Microsoft office programs (usual office
list)
[my situation] : Not applicable since it is Excel 2007 template

How can I troubleshoot? Trying various combinations is one thing, but is
there a straightforward approach?

Also - a few of my sheets are protected! Is that the culprit???

How did you insert the pictures? If it was Insert | Picture | From File,
then they're not embedded objects. If you dragged (from your file folder)
and dropped (into Excel), then yes, it's an embedded object.

I don't know about protected sheets, but I'll try to find out.

Try unprotecting them and uploading the template -- if it works, you'll have
the answer.

Also, the template server was having issues the past couple of weeks. It may
still be. I'll see if I can get an update.

Hi Echo!

I did NOT insert through Insert | Picture | From File, I would have done a
copy-paste so from what you say it seems like, that would be taken as
embedded objects ?

Try unprotecting them and uploading the template -- if it works, you'll have
the answer.

Uhhh.. so this adds to the already big list of possible errors, eh!!

Would be great to hear any update from you regarding the above or the
protected sheets...!

Meanwhile I will try the insert | picture route too...

Yes, copy/paste can be an embedded object. It depends on what you're copying
from. At least in PPT it works that way; I'm not 100% sure about Excel,
although I'd bet it's the same.

Hi Echo,

As mentioned in my "Update" I did delete these images and inserted as
suggested. But that too didn't solve the problem! So, there is some other

Uhffff!! At last... at lasssst it worked!!

After trying out all sorts of combinations for over 3 hours! found the
"culprits" - There were 2 of them
1. Website link that was given in one of the cells
2. WorkBOOK protection (WorkSHEET protection did not create issues here!)

Moral of the Story : You cannot protect the workbook in the template that
you submit here

Thanks Echo for all the info!

No probs! Microsoft should probably update their documentation with some of
these specifics!

Anyway, since it worked now, "all is well that ends well" ;-)

Hopefully there will be no other hurdles before it gets published!!
