Hi all,
I have a user that was opening an Excel document today and received this error message, "Microsoft Excel is waiting for another application to complete an OLE action". System then become unresponsive, was unable to force quite any applications or even view task manager.
Duplicated this issue twice now, seeing if there are known issues that may be causing this problem. Here is user system specs:
- Surface Pro 4
- Office 2013
- Windows 10 Pro
Thanks,

I work with so many workbooks and spreadsheets that I need a way to organize them for easier access. My workbooks usually accumulate many worksheets and I waste way too much time tediously navigating between the sheets. The worksheets I work with usually contain immense amounts of data that involve tedious scrolling between hundreds or even thousands of rows. It takes three or four attempts to actually highlight the range of data I need to use.
Kindly suggest some ways which can increase my efficiency while working with different workbooks and also suggest me how to reach the desired data set of rows and columns without wasting time in scrolling and navigating.Hi,
One of our user is facing this issue, Outlook 2013 is asking for password when ever he restarted the machine.
When he logged into the machine when he give the credentials Exchange credential, after that it is working fine for entire session.

Looked for Temporary Profile, Deleted credentials form credential manager, anonymous authentication, everything looks good.

Hello,
We have a group of Windows server 2008 R2 desktop servers with Xenapp 7.6.
Office 2013 x64 is installed, a choice made half a year ago to solve a lot of Excel issues.
Of cource, a lot of other software is installed as well.
Now someone wants to play a Powerpoint presentation with an embedded MP4 video.
According to VLC it is a H264, MPEG-4 AVC file, 1280x720, framerate 25.
I know about the missing 64-bit codec issue.
I'm just wondering:
I extracted the video from the pptx file by opening it with an unzipper.
I see two times Windows media player installed, under Program Files and Program Files (x86).
If I start C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe, I can see in the taskmanager that wmplayer is 64-bit (not *32 behind the process name). I can play the video.
So I assume that a 64 bit codex is present, otherwise the video wouldn't play. Is that assumption right? I also thought that if Media Player x64 can play the video, PP should be able as well. Is that idea wrong?
Still in PP I get the message "Cannot play media".
In attempts to get to a working situation from scratch I started with a fresh 2008 R2 server, installed Office 2013 x64 and at first got a different message while playing the video in PP: Codec not available.
That was before anything was installed. I then got it working by installing a standard k_lite codec pack.
Installing the k-lite codec pack on a copy of those production desktops didn't work. I get the idea that "Cannot play media" doesn't have anything to do with a missing codec, but something else...
Does anyone have an idea?
We see the error below when attempting to respond to a meeting invitation while using Office 2013 in Online Mode with a single Exchange 2013 mailbox on a non-persistent Windows 7 virtual desktop instance:
You cannot respond to a meeting without an organizer. You must add an Organizer field to the item.
The second attempt to respond to the message works as expected. Has anyone else experienced this?
Hi,
After using updates folder to deploy software updates during an Office 2016 installation I run into this problem
where does this error originates from and what is the solution?
Many people have been getting this error message when trying to send an email in Outlook 2013 that has been auto-saved: "The operation cannot be performed because the message has been changed." This is a well-known problem. Is there a fix?
Thanks.
Hey there,
we are having a strange problem. We deployed Office 2013 with MUI. 70% of our users use it in german.
Skype for Business is now installed in our environment. The office package was deployed with installed Lync Client (which was the name of the client back then ;) ). Now after the first login of some users the lync client opens up instead of the skype 4 business client (which was set on the server). We also had no inplace update to lync.
The lync client also seems to miss some options as well as some descriptions.
The users who are affected by this issue opened up the lync client before the installation of the server. Maybe they got the link to a meeting or just were curious. I attached 2 screenshots.
I just don't get it how to fix it. I tried installing the SP1 of the language pack but it says that i cannot / not appliable
Can someone help me with this?
Hi,
I'm following the Microsoft article to customize Office 2013 font.
Refer to steps where we need to add/Import the HKCU registry keys into OCT.
The trouble/question is, because we are using admin account to access the registry key - when we set the I.E Outlook font, the registry key went intoHKEY_USERS instead of HKEY_Current_User.
How do we go about import the registry key into OCT - adding the key by navigating to the HKEY_Users\S-1-93399234-23942034....\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\MailSettings ) so that it will go into the correctHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\MailSettings in OCT?
Also, is there an article - Deploying custom fonts across all applications for Office 2013?
Thank you
This is very easy to reproduce for me. I deleted all macros in case they were causing this. You have to format the top cell of the column in the correct font to reproduce this (i.e. the color you search for in step 5). There are close variations with the same problem.
Feels like I am in Wonderland. The workaround is simple -- instead of selecting the column, place the cursor to the immediate left of the first character in the top cell of the column. Do the same search and replace. I would be very interested if this happens to other people and if they recognize this behavior as part of a known issue.
Thanks!
Whenever I try to use "Restrict Access" in
MS Word 2013, I got this error as shown:
"Your machine is not set up for Information Rights Management (IRM)".
To set up IRM, sign into office,open an existing IRM protected message or document or contact your admin."
I have already logged into my Microsoft account while working in Word 2013...
Here is what I think....
Information Rights Management in Office Professional Plus 2013 on a non-domain attached (e.g. home) computer does not work with a just Microsoft Account (no IRM server). It says that it isn't configured, but there's no actual way to configure it on a non-domain computer. According to the Office 2013 IRM documentation (some of which directs readers to Office 2010 documentation) says it should work with just a Microsoft Account, but it DOES NOT WORK with just a Microsoft Account.
It works in Office 2007 and 2010 exactly as advertised, and if you create an IRM protected document in one of these older versions of Office you can open it Office 2013 using just a Microsoft Account (no IRM server) , but you can NOT create an IRM protected document in Office 2013 with just a Microsoft Account as per the documentation.
This is a major flaw in Office 2013 for home and small business users.
Someone at Microsoft REALLY needs to try it out on a standalone PC and see for themselves that it doesn't work as advertised. I honestly think it's a mistake in the programming and will hopefully be corrected in a patch.
Thank you.
Hello,
After Office upgrade from 2010 to 2013, If the excel sheet is opened, received the below message at every time
"Excel isn't currently your default program message at startup"
It is resolved by "Microsoft office data connection, *.ODC" as default program. Please let me know how to resolve this issue and how do i find why this message occurs after upgraded to Office 2013.

Hi,
I am creating a form with a first part containing drop down menu and text field. In other parts of the form I would like the user being able to write a good text including screenshot if need. So I would like keeping those parts open.
I was thinking comments would be great. But as soon as I select to fill the form in protection it is overwriting everything else.
How may I solve this?
Thanks,
François
Office 2013 applications try to connect to nexus.officeapps.live.com when you open a document. It happens with Word 2013, Excel 2013, Powerpoint 2013. I want to prevent it.

I am getting this error in Access 2016. I have a new i7-6700k CPU with 32gb of ram. Task manager says I have 31.9gb memory free.
Can anyone help?
