Missing "Publish Options" button in "Save to SharePoint" on Excel 2010 backstage view

Question

Hi,

I'm using Excel 2010 RTM to save a workbook to a MOSS 2007 Enterprise Server with Excel Services installed. I can save it and view it in web browser using EWA. But I can't see the "Publish Options" button on the "Save to SharePoint" page in Excel's backstage view (File). Without it I can't specify workbook parameters that have to be exposed to Excel Services.

Originally, Office 2003 was installed on the machine and then I've installed 2007 and later 2010 versions in side-by-side mode (where it was possible).

Could someone help me with this problem, please?

Thank you and best regards,

Maris

Hello Maris,

I have Excel 2010 RTM in my computer. I can find the Publish Options in Excel 2010 via,

1.Click the top left corner File menu

2.In the popup menu list, click the Save & Send

3.Then choose the Save to Sharepoint option

4.Then I can see the Publish Options button in the right panel.

 

However, I do not think this is an issue involved with any development part. So you may find further help in the Excel technet forum,

Not positive, but is it related to this license key issue?

It is a license issue not a license key issue. I had the same issue with a co-worker's computer. Apperently it is only a feature of Office 2010 Professional Plus. Once he upgraded from Standard, the button showed up.
