Summary :
Malfunctions in SAP Desktop Office Integration when invoking MS Office applications are typically due to incorrect installation or configuration of these applications, or from special error situations. Users should ensure MS Office (Word, Excel) is properly installed and configured. SAP suggests using test documents and macros provided to check and log functions and configurations of MS Office. Specific steps include verifying installation, using integrity test documents for versions MS Office 97 onwards, and checking registry setups. If issues persist, reinstallation of MS Office or particular components may be required. Additionally, ensuring the correct installation of necessary OCX files and registering them in the right sequence is crucial. Possible issues with 'Normal.DOT' in Word or loaded add-ins that hinder application startup are addressed by appropriate steps.
