Excel2latex.xla cannot be accessed

[Gautam]

I get the following message when I click on Excel2latex in the menu under Format:

"The file may be read only or you may trying to access a read-only location."

When I click Cancel, I get a message:

Microsoft Visual 400.

Sorry for my slow reply. Do you see this message for all files you are trying to convert to LaTeX?

[Gautam (gautamsethi)]

Yes, unfortunately.

Could you please specify your version of Windows/Mac OS and Excel? Also, where have you installed Excel2LaTeX.xla?

[Gautam (gautamsethi)]

Hi, my mac version is 10.8.4, and I have Excel 2011. Excel2LaTeX is sitting in the Add-Ins folder of Excel.

Thanks for your help!

When I last tested it on Mac OS, I simply downloaded and opened the .xla file, without storing it in the Add-Ins folder. Could you please try moving the file from the Add-Ins folder to another location and open it from there?
