<pre>Description:
I downloaded the latest version of LibreOffice Suite and when I went to open my
Excel spreadsheet, it wouldn't open. Excel appeared in a limited fashion,
since I have not downloaded the MS Office Suite, and I couldn't do anything
with my Excel workbook. I have not encountered this problem before. I select
a Custom download and check both Word and Excel on the install of LibreOffice
Suite. I did this twice but it can't open Excel workbooks now. And to think I
just accessed my Excel workbook recently without a problem. Can you fix this
please? BTW, I did have to repopulate my files after re-installing the O.S. on
my computer. I don't know if something changed or what in the restoration of
my files by Carbonite. The workbooks were always saved in Excel and opened by
LibreOffice. My Word documents open up fine with LibreOffice.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open File Explorer.
2. Go to Documents and Choose Specific Folder to open.
3. Click on Excel worksheet
4. Microsoft brings up the actual Excel workbook and wants to Activate MS
Office.
5. Access is blocked to my Excel workbook though it's on the screen.
Actual Results:
This "Activate Office" box is blocking my ability to work in the Excel
workbook. LibreOffice should have opened it up since it used to do that up
until two days ago or so. I'm not sure what's going on. There was a new MS
update two or three days ago. MS Office seems to be overriding LibreOffice
even though I never downloaded MS Office.
Expected Results:
Nothing. I was blocked from being able to work in my saved Excel workbook.
LibreOffice did not open the Excel workbook, as it would normally do.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
I downloaded the latest version of LibreOffice today, November 9, 2017. It was
the second time to do so within a few days, as I had downloaded the earlier
version and there were some problems with it so I replaced it with the latest
version. I have not done anything differently other than to reinstall the O.S.
on October 27, 2017. The backup restoration started the next day and took two
days to repopulate my computer files.
