    Office add ins not working

    After working OK, Word "Open from Office Live" no longer works.

    It opens a folder "Docs" with no content

    Vista Sp2

    Thanks

    This may not work in Vista, but in Win7 if you open Word first and leave it running in background, you can open documents from workspaces to Word.  I believe the same may be true of Excel. Hope this helps!

    Thank youBig Smile

    It is the same on Vista using Office 2007. I would open word and "Open from Office Live" and see nothing, no documents.  I would get upset, walk around the room screaming - sit down and try again. Then I would feel really bad because all the documents where displayed. 

    Now I know why!

    I have this problem as well on my Vista machine. I tried uninstalling the Office Live add-in and reinstalling, but all I get when going to "open from office live" is my documents folder on my computer, even though I have signed in to Office Live. The add-in is enabled.

     

    So I don't know what the problem is. It has been a bug for years. It works fine on two other computers I use...

     

    I wish this could be fixed.
