My Preferences: Editors category, Document

From the Document subcategory, you can set the following default options for the Document Editor:

• What scale to use for the measurement units on the alignment grid and ruler

• How close together the gridpoints are

• Whether the selection box in the layout area must touch the control or fully enclose it in order to select the control

• What version of Excel to use when exporting documents in Excel format

• Whether to expand all the datasets when the Document Editor opens

• If you own the MicroStrategy Office product, whether to allow MicroStrategy Office to refresh documents after the documents have been exported to Excel

  This information applies to the legacy MicroStrategy Office add-in, the add‑in for Microsoft Office applications which is no longer actively developed.

  It was substituted with a new add‑in, MicroStrategy for Office, which supports Office 365 applications. The initial version does not yet have all the functionalities of the previous add‑in.

  If you are using MicroStrategy 2021 Update 2 or a later version, the legacy MicroStrategy Office add-in cannot be installed from Web.;

  For more information, see the MicroStrategy for Office page in the Readme and the MicroStrategy for Office Help.
