Once again, thanks for addressing this so quickly.

I will go through the process now and let you know if I have any problems.

Thanks again.

I've fixed up the issue and posted an update here: http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/embed-no-longer-working-for-excel-office-web-apps?replies=4#post-1062458

Cheers

Apologies about the delay here, and thank you for your patience. We've fixed up the Skydrive shortcode here on WordPress.com.

The instructions on how to do the embeds has been slightly modified, so I've updated the Excel, and PowerPoint instructions and added instructions for Word .

Both the old links/format and the new format will continue to work, though I suspect that Microsoft has already started deprecating the old format on their end

Hope that helps and please let us know if there's anything else we can do.

It is my understanding that it is no longer an option to "opt out" of the Web Apps preview since it has now launched and is live.

I started a similar thread several days ago that you can find he for more information.

Embedding Excel spreadsheets into our blog is a big part of what we publish, and I have been unable to post any updates for going on 2 weeks. We have tried working with Google Docs and it just does not serve our needs.

Apparently from the research I have done this is affecting many WordPress/MS Office Web Apps Users, so I would hope that we could at least get a status update. I want to reiterate, that I have no idea if this is a WordPress problem or a Microsoft problem but I have to believe that one of the two companies needs to address this. As users it is very frustrating to not know if, when, or by who this will be corrected.

If anyone as any information on where things stand with this reported issue, it would be greatly appreciated.

actually my problem is 100% similar with jariangibson on http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/skydrive-embedding-issues?replies=15#post-986976 but he able to solve by turned off the office web apps preview. How he turned off the office web apps preview.

Thanks for responding and I look forward to your update.

If you read my post from 9/18/2012 you will see that I was able to figure out how to make it work by "Opting Out" of the Microsoft Beta Version on Office Web Apps.

As as last week, Office Web Apps as gone live, and "Opting Out" is not an option.

The problem as it exists today is that the new, as of last week, release of Office Web Apps is creating embed code that is not recognized by WordPress.

There is something that occurs regarding "Metro Interface" that is causing WordPress to ignore any Excel embeds.

This is an issue that needs to be addressed by someone, I just don't know if it is WordPress or Microsoft.

If you have any information or suggestions they would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

I've tagged this for Staff assistance. Please be patient while they get back to you.

Prior to Microsoft's official launch of this update Office Web Apps, users had the option of "Opting Out" of the beta work being done. Any user who chose to "Opt Out" had no problem Embedding Excel file. If you did not chose to "Opt Out" the Embed function did not work.

Since the launch, which I believe occurred this week, it appears that users no longer have the option to "Opt Out" and none of the Embed functions work with WordPress.

In searching I found the following explanation of what I believe is the issue,

"Hi, you may already know about this but just giving you a heads up in case you don't.

Microsoft are changing Office Live documents in SkyDrive to resemble the Metro interface, they have also started offering you the option to opt in to a preview of the new Office Web Apps. I currently embed spreadsheets into my WordPress site.

I decided to opt in and then found that any new items I went to embed simply didn't appear. I noticed that the url Microsoft provide you with for the preview has changed and no longer starts http://r.office.microsoft.com, but starts skydrive.live.com and I think WordPress doesn't know yet how to interpret it.

Giving you the heads up in case this becomes a wholesale change and all of a sudden WordPress user's can no longer embed documents/spread sheets etc."

If anyone else has any information on this issue or knows of any possible solutions please let me know.

Thank you in advance.
