[resolved] Bug: Export to Excel does not work

Dave Hooton

Filter Library (to get a manageable list of 100 or so titles)

Print/Export library

Select Excel in Send to new document

You might see a brief flash of a button for Excel on the Windows Taskbar but nothing else happens.

Paste into open document (Excel) also does not work.

Save as file to Excel XML format works OK.

Same issue with  Analysis view in Morph Search.

Using Office 2013.

It works for me (that's how I was able to report this other bug). I did notice, however, that it didn't bring the new Excel document to the foreground, so I had to go find it among the open Excel files. And that seems like a new problem. I think I recall that Export to a new document would bring that document to the front (at least for Word docs it did and still does). But for Excel that aspect of it doesn't work. However it does create the document. Look again and see if you can find it open on your machine somewhere.

Paste into open document (Excel) works for me too. But again, it doesn't bring that document to the foreground. With paste to open document (Word) from Print/Export in a resource, this works.
