[Solved] Embedded spreadsheet not editable

Post by sortoffilms »

Hi.

We use embedded spreadsheet tables in our invoices and quotes and we've just reformatted our quote template. Now, every time we open a file and click in the spreadsheet table to edit it, it turns to gobbledigook as pictured.

Can anyone enlighten us as to what we're doing wrong?

Many thanks

I think we need a minimum "working" example and a description of how you are doing this.

I'm afraid that a screenshot just is not informative enough in a case like this.

I did try a very cursory example and I seem to be able to edit the embedded spreadsheet. Please see attached example.

I think we've figured out that the embedded object was in some way corrupted. We started from scratch and the new embedded spreadsheet seems to be fine.
Thanks for the reply. I'll return if and when the problem returns.
