SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel, when you click the right mouse button on a file in the
New dialog box to display details about the file, your computer may beep
instead of displaying a menu for the file.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs if you save a Microsoft Excel template file to the
Xlstart folder. The Microsoft Excel Xlstart folder is available for
compatibility with Microsoft Excel version 5.0. In Microsoft Excel version
7.0, you can still create a new workbook from a template stored in this
folder. However, when you click the right mouse button on the template file
in the New dialog box, your computer may beep instead of displaying a
shortcut menu for the file.
All new templates that you create in Microsoft Excel version 7.0 should be
saved to either of the following locations
-or-
where MSOffice is the folder to which you installed Microsoft Office. When
you save a file as a template in Microsoft Excel, the default file location
is the Template folder in the Microsoft Office folder.
Normally, the shortcut menu for a template in the New dialog box in
Microsoft Excel contains the following commands:
New
Open
Cut
Copy
Create Shorcut
Delete
Properties
RESOLUTION
To display the shortcut menu for a template file in the New dialog box,
save the file to either the default template folder (that is, the Template
folder in the Microsoft Office folder) or the Excel folder in the Template
folder, instead of to the Xlstart folder.
