In Excel 2003, just installed with all updates ...
When I attempt to insert a new object Excel wont let me! I
am using a Barcode application and their instructions are
as follows:
1. A short description of how to add a barcode to your
Excel sheet: First launch Excel and create a new sheet or
open an already existing sheet. Now go to the
menu "Insert" and select "Object..." from that item list.
(screenshot on the right)
2. A dialog box appears: Select now "ActiveBarcode" and
click "Ok". Now a barcode will be created inside your
document. This will be a standard barcode of EAN-13 type.
Next change to the "design mode" of Excel (e.g. use this
button. Now you can modify this barcode. You can change
the type, text, colors etc. For this click inside the
barcode with the right mouse button.
3. A pop up menu will open: Select "ActiveBarcode-Object"
and then "Properties...". The property dialog of
ActiveBarcode will open. Here you can modify the barcode
as you like.
...........so everything work until I click OK in step 2
and then Excel displays "CAN NOT INSERT OBJECT" So is
there some property or security setting or something else
I'm missing? I am a novice so step-by-step help would be
appredciated!!! Runing WINXP Pro, totally updated. Thanks!
