XL97: Error Clicking Save As HTML

• Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Excel 97, when you click Save As HTML on the File menu, you may receive the following message:

   The macro <path to HTML.XLA>!DoHTMLCommand'
   cannot be found.

CAUSE

This problem occurs if the path to the Html.xla add-in contains an apostrophe. For example, if you install Microsoft Office in the following folder:

   c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office '97

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, run Microsoft Office Setup and click Remove All to remove all of the Office components. After you remove the components, rerun Microsoft Office Setup and install Office in a folder with a path that does not contain an apostrophe.

STATUS
