Can't access Office Online from Excel Application

Trying to avoid reloading MS Office 2003 application, etc.

I have done everything I know to do. Help.

Thanks.

Is it possible you have disabled the online content function.

Hit Help then under the "See Also" section click on Online Content Settings to
see what's enabled.

I made the changes like you said. It helped but even after restarting PC got
the error message: Cannot locate Internet server or proxy server.

This problem only happens when I run Excel. Word and PowerPoint allow
connection to Office Online. What do you think?

Not sure but maybe a re-register of Excel could help.

Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar

1) Start>Run "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)>OK.
2) Start>Run "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.
See the space between exe and /regserver

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe.
In that case Start>Run "C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)>OK.
