SAP shipped support for IE 8 and Office 2007 Formats with SAP GUI SP 13
Hi All,
SAP released SP13 for SAP GUI beginning of May. With this service pack SAP announced two important updates:
· Support of IE 8 in SAP GUI, see SAP note 66971
“Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 is supported by SAP GUI for Windows 7.10 as of patch level 13.”
· Support for Office 2007 files (*.docx and *.xlsx)
Symptom
Support from Office Integration for Office 2007 files (*.docx, *.xlsx) format.
Other terms
Office Integration, Office 2007, Support, .docx, .xlsx.
Reason and Prerequisites
With new changes done in SAP Office Integration, both old .DOC & .XLS as well as new *.DOCX & *.XLSX files of MS Office will be supported.
Previously from SAP Office Integration it was only possible to work with compound document formats. As new Microsoft Office 2007 (*.docx, *.xlsx) files are non-compound document, it was not possible for SAP Office Integration to support the same. Now *.DOCX and *.XLSX format are also supported.
Nick.
