Can edit, but can't view Word docs in web apps.

Posted By: Posted Date: September 19, 2010 Points: 0 Category :SharePoint

I'm having a very odd problem with the Word web app. I can view some word docs on my sharepoint site, but when I try and view others I get the "... Unexpected Error" problem with others. The ones where I get the error I can click the drop down and select "edit in web browser" and it works fine! Very odd, these docs are in the same doc lib. So, how can I edit, but not view? Very strange and frustrating..... Any one else see this before?

Also, I looked in all the logs and I don't see any extra infromation. :(

I have installed a SharePoint Foundation 2010 in a Farm environment and installed Office Web Apps 2010. I have not been able to view Word documents or PowerPoint documents inside of the web browser. I can view Excel documents okay and I can edit a Word doc in the browser.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be the problem?

How to properly configure permissions so users can view, add, edit, and delete list items, but not w

I am trying to figure out how to properly setup security so that it can be configured at the top-level, and then inherited all the way through. Here is what I would like to do: Each user can view, add, edit, and delete list items - but, users cannot modify or delete web part pages. The only way I know how to do this is set Contribute from the top-down, and then go into each Site Pages library and set Read access. The problem is that I have 100 sites, and I was hoping there was a way I could set security at the top, and inherit downward. Rather than having to go into all 100 Site Pages library and set Read access. Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance.

Add subform to New, Edit, and View forms

I have two lists with related information: Projects and Tasks. I would like to edit the NewForm, EditForm, and ViewForm for the Projects list so that users can add, change, and view related tasks in a datasheet subform. I know how to do this in Access forms, but it seems there is no easy way to accomplish something similar using SharePoint lists and the SharePoint Designer. I have seen other posts, listed below. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/onlineservicessharepoint/thread/f803ee36-8853-4a73-8d10-1fc687a37781 This is not very helpful, for users would have to be jumping from one list to another and manually creating the relationships between projects and tasks. That is cumbersome. http://geekswithblogs.net/SoYouKnow/archive/2008/12/24/creating-a-sharepoint-list-parent--child-relationship---out.aspx This relates to what I need, but I guess there is something wrong with the steps, as I cannot get the parent form to set parameters for the subform. Has anybody been able to accomplish this?

Edit in Datasheet view does not work on one SharePoint 2007 farm, works on another.

The ability to edit in datasheet view on one of our environments no longer works. I've tried different client machines on different builds and regardless of the install every library, list, etc. when attempting to edit in datasheet view shows as read only. Our other environments those systems work as intended with those same clients. I've searched all over and haven't found anything that helped. Any ideas?

Office Web Apps - View in Excel not present

Hi,

I installed on out SharePoint 2010 server Office Web Apps. With some problems I finally could get Word and PowerPoint working. I had an issue where Edit in browser of both formats worked fine, but View did not. I threw an some errors. My event viewer displayed SQL Server error complaining about SPService account does not have permissions to sertain WSS_Content_ database. The viewers started to work after I granted the Account some priviliges.

But now I can't seem to get Excel working in Web Apps. On Excel files I won't have the required actions (Edit in browser and View in browser). I also noted that on Central Administration Manage Service Application -> New doesn't have the Excel Viewing Service possibility.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Excel "View in browser" or "Edit in browser": Unexcpected Exception

Hey everybody

We are using Sharepoint 2010 (Enterprise), Office web apps is installed.

Powerpoint & Word web apps work (view or edit in browser).
When we click on an excel 2003 file we recieve the open in excel dialog (read-only / edit).

Wen we click on an excel 2007 file we get an unexpected exception.

I used the ULS viewer and the correlation id to retrieve the stack trace below:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Microsoft.Office.Excel.WebUI.XlViewer.OnInit(EventArgs e)
at System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer)
at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)

Exception follows on the heels of:
Name=Request (GET:http://bekrbsv313:80/sites/medical/_layouts/xlviewer.aspx?id=/sites/medical/Scrum/Sprint.xlsx&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fbekrbsv313%2Fsites%2Fmedical%2FScrum%2FForms%2FAllItems%2Easpx&DefaultItemOpen=1)

does anybody have a clue?

I'm getting desperate :-)

Import Word docs with Metadata into SharePoint 2010 from Windows Server 2003

I need to import 700 Word docs (2003 & 2007) from Windows Server 2003 into a SharePoint Server 2010 library. I only have a test server to work with right now and want to do as much pre-work before we launch the actual server.

My goal: When we launch the shpt server, import all docs into a library so that columns propagate with metatdata automatically.

I'm not sure what the best approach is...

Can I can open each doc and add custom properties (maybe with InfoPath) to import as metadata, then import managed metadata through the term store tool and have it associate with the manually entered custom properties? I don't fully understand managed metadata, which might pose a problem. And before I start importing terms, I thought I should find out if I've completely misunderstood how taxonomies work.

Or I have an excel spreadsheet with info about each doc in columns that can act as metadata. I could upload this as a list then associate each doc with the list. But it seems wiser to enter the metadata into the documets.

Is it possible to update my docs in advance so that uploading goes smoothly? I have help now for data entry that I won't have later.

I have no resources to spend on tools, and have to figure out and build this&nbs
