    Hello,

    Has anyone else seen the SW Office toolbar grayed out after installing
    SP2.1 The SW Office toolbar shows up normal with SP0.0 I do own
    Solidworks Office.

    All the SW Office related addin's work through Tools->Add ins but are
    grayed out in the toolbar.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Bill

    Hi Bill.
    Funny you should say this since it just happened to me today and I'm also
    running SW2.1.
    Not sure if it's related, but I was turning off some add-ins and when I
    turned them on again I noticed that the "Office" icon was grey'd. I was
    going to contact my VAR but I'm not sure I need to have 1/2 hour of my time
    wasted, only to be told "Just try uninstalling and reinstalling the software
    and let me know what happens". NOT!

  4. Same here.
    More proof they aren't testing the software prior to release.

    Dang. At first I didn't know what y'all was talkin' about. Then when I did,
    I figured out why I didn't know what you was talkin' about. I got SW Office,
    but I DON'T even have the option in the toolbar. It isn't gray, black, white
    or nothing. Mine is freakin' transparent.

    Figured it was because I upgraded from SW 2004 to SW 2004 Office. When you
    do, you don't get the toolbar option. Must be a buggie....

    Mr. Pickles

    I am missing the option for the toolbar also. If I right click on the
    command manager (the new fly out bar) and check SW Office it will
    display the grayed out SW office button. I take if from responses
    here that it must be a bug and not a bad install.

    Thanks,
    Bill

    If what you are implying is that I am implying that it is/was a bad install,
    then that is not correct. I am almost certain that everybody with this
    problem actually has a good install, and has a problem.

    Mine is that when you upgrade from regular to Office, you do NOT get the
    choice of the toolbar option, and I believe I have a good install.

    Therefore, I meant that when you upgrade, the SW Install does NOT include
    the "code" to add the choice in the toolbar.
