General ⇒ Excel2Latex problem

[Florian]

Dear Latex Friends,

when I use Excel2Latex, it says "Can't find project or library" after I pressed on the conversion button. The window in which the latex code should appear says "Generating Table. Please wait...", but nothing happens. Any ideas what's the problem?

Thank you and best regards,
Florian

Update: I now have found an older version of Excel2Latex. With 2.0 it works! Maybe my problem is due to some bug in version 2.1, which was just released these days. Thanks nevertheless and bye!

This problem may be caused by a broken reference to REFEDIT.DLL. Excel2LaTeX.xla contains a reference to folder OFFICE12 (Office 2007). If you use the macro with Office 2003 (OFFICE11) you must fix the reference. REFEDIT.DLL is in c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\. In Excel go to Tools>Macros>Visual Basic Editor, select VBAProject (Excel2LaTeX.xla) in Project Explorer, then go to Tools>References and uncheck MISSING:Ref Edit Control, click Browse and Open REFEDIT.DLL, then use the priority button to raise the new Ref Edit Control entry to where the MISSING entry was (click the up arrow button once and then hold Space to raise). Excel2LaTeX 2.1 works for me, I'm using Office 2003 on Windows Server 2003.

With me it worked fine without messing with priority (xp, excel2003)

Do you mean that you had to fix the reference but not the priority?

I had the same problem with Excel2Latex 3.0 using XP prof office 2003. The solution of huthoos worked for me fine. Wish I had come across Excel2Latex earlier.. Its a great tool
