Excel files no longer supported in Studio 2021

I am no longer able to open Excel files in Studio 2021. It doesn’t matter what version of Xcel the file is, I always get the error message that this file type is not supported. The Support Department told me to check for updates, which I did, but it still doesn’t work. Any ides?

    Hello,

    Based on your query, it seems like you're having trouble opening Excel files in Trados Studio 2021. Trados Studio 2021 does support Excel files, so this issue might be due to a specific setting or a problem with the file itself.

    Here are a few steps you can try:

    Step 1: Ensure that the Excel file is not open in another program while you're trying to open it in Trados Studio. This can sometimes cause issues.

    Step 2: Try to save the Excel file in a different format (e.g., .xlsx instead of .xls) and then try to open it in Trados Studio.

    Step 3: If the issue persists, try to create a new project and add the Excel file to this new project.

    Step 4: If none of the above steps work, you might want to try reinstalling Trados Studio 2021 to ensure that there are no issues with the installation.

    If you have Trados Studio 2019 available, you could also try opening the file there as a temporary workaround.

    I hope this answer addressed your question. If not, please reject the answer, add the question improvement suggestion information, and click the RWS Community AI checkbox on the right to try again.
