I have a file that I have come across. It has a peculiarity that i have not been able to explain.
When the file is opened in excel 2007,all tabs and commands are disabled/grayed out. Even the protect/un-protect commands in the review tab are disabled. the file does not for a password on opening and does not contain any macros. This does not happen with any other file that I attempt to open. Can someone give me a lead as to what might be happening?
I figured it out.
If you press "Mark as Final" (Office button > prepare >mark as final), all commands and tabs are grayed out and disabled. There is an icon showing this on the status bar as well ( which I didn't notice earlier).
Clicking this combination again enables all relevant tabs.

After a fresh installation of Windows 11 I am unable to see some of my VB projects in the projects window. These projects were locked for viewing and had passwords set. I know the passwords.
Before the refresh, I could see them listed and was able to operate normally with them. Now, they just don't appear in the VBE Project Explorer. However, they do appear in the PowerPoint Add-in in the Developer tab.
Assuming that you mean you can see your add-ins listed in the VBA IDE:
Quit PPT if it's running.
Start REGEDIT
Locate:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\PowerPoint\Options
Under Options, add a new DWORD value named DebugAddins
Set its value to 1
Close REGEDIT, start PPT.
I have this problem occur regularly with different workbooks. The file opens with:
Can't find project or library
I press Alt+F11 to open the VBA editor. I try clicking on References in the Tools menu but it doesn't do anything. I try editing the modules but I can't see any code and the windows are frozen. See attached file.
This is a guess, but sounds like there is a macro is running on 'open' of your spreadsheet, but the library it needs is missing (due to early binding, and a missing reference, often due to a different version of office).
Turn your macro settings to 'ask before running' - in office 265,
this is file-->options-->trust center-->trust center
settings-->macro settings-->disable all macros with notification.
reopen the file, but Don't enable the macro
press alt+f11 to enter the macro editor, then look at tools--> references for the
missing reference and try and fix.
Save and relaunch your spreadsheet, and enable macros
I am trying to open VBA editor from my Outlook. It suddenly stopped working. I already tried possible ways.
(From Shortcut) Alt+F11 - Not working, no error is coming.
(From Menu) Developer Tab -> Visual Basic Icon. Not working, no error is coming.
I am using Outlook 2013.
Could you please help me?
You may try to repair Outlook/Office. Also, make sure F-like buttons are not disabled on the keyboard.
See How to use Outlook's VBA Editor.
I'm big on not using the mouse, especially while writing code. I've noticed in IntelliJ IDEA 2016.1 that when I'm navigating in the project window, hitting Enter while a particular file is selected opens the file in an editor, but it doesn't place the cursor in the editor. Interestingly, if I double-click on the file in the project window, the cursor is placed in the editor.
How do I configure IntelliJ to place the cursor in the editor after opening the file via Enter from the project window?
To the best of my knowledge, I do not believe there is a way to configure what you are looking for. A search for focus in the settings didn't turn up anything.
That said, hitting Esc when in the project view will return you to the editor. So you would need to do Enter, Esc. If having to type two keys in a row bothers you, you could always record a macro (Edit > Macros) to do that key sequence and map it to a shortcut.
For some reason, MS Excel 2010 makes a beep when I switch from one workbook to another in the same instance. It doesn't matter if I alt-tab or mouse click. Does anyone know how to turn this off? I have searched the internet and found similar complaints but no solution as of yet.
Found this answer and it worked:
In Excel go to File > Options > Add-ins > On the bottom drop-down, select Manage "COM Add-ins" > Click 'Go'
Remove the Add-in listed and sound is gone
This appears to be a bug in Excel but the specific sound event can be disabled in Windows.
Control Panel > Sound > Sounds tab > Default Beep > set to (None) in the drop down.
Another workaround is to open Excel workbooks as separate instances.
Right click on Excel on the task bar > select Microsoft Excel 2010.
This has the added benefit of letting you see workbooks side by side but precludes the ability to use advanced copy between workbooks (such as copy Formatting or Transpose).
I have not been able to find an answer as to why it does this for me also but I just went into my windows sounds and removed the sound that was going off and I never heard it again. I do not remember which one I turned off (I think it was the default beep) because it was on my old computer with office 2007. I would try trial and error and just remove that sound from that even.
EDIT
If you open up excel, Click the big button in top left and go to excel options at the bottom -> go to the Advanced tab -> The General section (towards the bottom), uncheck Provide Feedback with sound That will turn off the sounds when switching tabs.
On Windows 8, the following solution works. Go to Settings (by swiping the right side of the screen)->Personalisation->Sounds and make it "No Sounds". This mutes all system sounds except when you're playing a song, etc. or more generally, when a program intentionally generates sound.
I tried Misc's solution of disabling a COM Add-In in Excel. I tried the most useless looking COM Add-In listed on my machine, which was the Acer Cloud Excel Add-In. I unchecked it and the sound was gone.
