Dear support and colleagues,
I have a great of xls and xlsx files with several tabs and macros. When adding those files to SDL 2011 they are recognized as reference files (scan error). I can solve this by converting the Excel files to PDF. But then we lose all macros functionality. Is there a way to open such Excel files in SDL?
best regards, Oleg

You could try... Jun 6, 2018

Saving the macro modules to an external file
Deleting the modules from the Excel file
Saving the Excel file as a regular Excel file
When you finish the translation, import the macro modules back and save the file as macro enabled

Good luck
