MS Word 2010 not updating Excel objects

Post by juntjoo »

It allows me to create them but when I go to edit them it shows the source file located at the location of the Word doc, NOT the source Excel file.

Also, I took the same doc under Windows with the same installation files as the one in Ubuntu, and was able to create working links to Excel objects. But these objects, working under Windows, checking them under Ubuntu it says they are corrupt. So the files seem to work but just not under Ubuntu. Any ideas?

You've not really supplied nearly enough information for anyone to help you...
It's also very unclear what steps you've taken to install the individual MS Office products??!! :roll:

I installed them with separate prefixes. So how does the system know which installation to use to open say an Excel file?

What version wine is this? I don't know. I installed it a long time ago. Do updates do themselves or do I need to manually do it?
