Word2k7 did no recognize Excel when embedding an excel sheet intoWord2k7

[dirk.voss]

Hi!

On a client witth WinXPSp2 Office2k7 is installed. If the user want to
create an Excel sheet in Word he receive the message that Excel is not
installed.
Also when he try to drag and drop an Excel document into a Word
document, he receive the same error.

If Excel is started and running on the machine, he is able to create
or drag and drop an excel sheet inside of Word.

I assume Word can not find the Excel part to start it, but if this
part is already running it is working.

Any idea what to do?

Thanks a lot

Hi Dirk,

Is Office 2007 up to date?

Is there more than one version of Office installed on the computer? If more than one version run a Repair/Reinstall of Office 2007
then see if you get the same result right after that.

If using Insert=>Object what are the titles for the Excel choices listed there?

Hi Bob!

Thanks for the fast answer. I already reinstalled Office on that
machine, it is the only version of Office installed.
If I click 'insert' - 'Table insert' - 'ExcelSpreadsheet' (thats
translated as it is a German version) I receive the error message that
for that action Excel is needed and need to be installed.
If Excel is already started I can insert the Excel sheet.

Thanks

Hi Dirk,

And if you use Insert=>Object=>Object=>Create New
what are the names listed for the Excel types there and do they give the same error?

If you hold the control key when starting Word do you also get the same error?

With Word and Excel closed, if you use
Start=>Run
Excel.exe /regserver
then restart Word do you still get the error?
