Excel Default 'Save As Type'

Laserfiche Version 9 Capture

Updated April 27, 2016

asked on November 24, 2015

I have a question on the Laserfiche add-in, is there a way to set the default 'Save as Type'? We had been saving Excel files to xlsm when we saved to Windows, I cannot figure out how to set xlsm as the default 'Save as type' when using the Laserfiche add-in to save an Excel file.

Did you change the default save behavior in Excel?

If not, go to the Excel Options window > Save

Look for Save Files in this Format, and choose *.xlsm in the file formats drop down.

Yes, we have Excel set up to Save as .xlsm, this works great when saving to Windows.

My issue is that, when we use the Laserfiche add-in, the file no longer saves to that type as the default. The default save in type in the 'Save to Laserfiche' add-in defaults to .xlsx, and I don't see where it can be set. Setting it in Excel options is not keeping the default for the add-in.

I was able to reproduce the issue on both Excel 2010 and 2013 for LF9 and LF10. I filed the software change request for the issue in your behalf (137711). Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Unfortunately, for now you will have to keep reselecting the save as type as a workaround.

Raymond,

Thanks, do you have any idea when this may be updated on the software?

Hi Rolayne, in Laserfiche Office Integration 10.1, it will follow the default save files format set in Office. That is, if you set Excel to save as .xlsm as default, when you save excel to LF, it will save the file as .xlsm as the default option too.
