Microsoft Office ~ lost insert hyperlink option in excel on right click

<< < (2/3) > >>

jraju:
Did you opt for repair of MS office. This will fix most problems.
                     Go to control Panel, Locate Microsoft office, right click, instead of uninstall select Repair. Wait for repairs to take. It will repair from your installation of ms office folder.
                           If this is not then you have to go to the Registry and do something, which i will tell if this does not fix. It usually fix.
                                  In your computer , search for startup and then see any unwanted programs using your excel is there. If anything unwanted is noted there, then delete those. Some pdf converter, make inroads to your ms office files and by their macro changes the settings as per their choice, written by them. If any thing is noted just delete in startup folder. Regarding registry fix, i will tell later

J,  resetting everything is not a good idea... it is better to amend the singular problem rather than definitely create more.

if you know the registry fix, thanks in advance

OK, let me confirm.

New xlsx format works when you create it. But the old xls format doesnt work, correct?

If so then that would be simple as the new format of xlsx is the 2007 format and has a lot more options than the old format xls.

If that is the case then all you need to do is open a old xls file, go to file and save as and then save it as a xlsx file to have it save in the new format.

the reason i don't want to try save it to xlsx? if i open a new file in 2003, works fine...
i am using excel 2003;
we need understand why, what changed in that file... therefore, repairing the issue is the only solution

Shane:
It is something with the file itself, not excel. If it was excel it wouldn't be working on the new files either.

So when ever there is a problem with a file it is best to back up the file and then export it or save it as a new file type or even as a new file as the same type, just so that you force excel to save it in a proper format.
