Embedding Excel Question

Question

Forgive me if this has already been asked, I've been scouring the web and found only questions, no answers.  It's a shame there's no live help for this product. 

Is there a way to turn off the full-screen option when embedding an Excel file?  I'm referring to that link in the bottom toolbar that says "View full-size workbook" when you hover over it.

The challenge I'm having is, this spreadsheet will be included in a training class.  When I click that, I get warnings across the top about disabled links and unsupported features, even though the spreadsheet seems fully functional.  I don't want my learners to see that and freak out about it.

Additionally, I don't really want them to open a new window during the training course.  I'd prefer for them to stay in one spot- which I can do if I can disable the full-size option.

Is there any way to disable that?

Thanks in advance!

For unknown reasons one of the moderators have moved the thread here, dont know why.

Can you upload the screenshots online and share them here for us.

Answer 2

I've uploaded a screenshot twice now.  Is there any way to get in touch with someone and perhaps get an answer?  Maybe an email address, or a live chat option?  

I'm a paying Skydrive customer, just trying to figure something out and getting a little frustrated.

Answer 3

I see the attached screenshot.  If not, I uploaded a link to it from my Dropbox folder.  You should definitely have no problem seeing it now.  If not- it's not that obscure; it's built into the Excel file when you embed it. 

As far as the steps I took, I followed these instructions:

https://office.microsoft.com/en-us/web-apps-help/share-it-embed-an-excel-workbook-on-your-blog-HA102029502.aspx

I modified the embed url to change interactivity to "yes."

Hopefully that's all you need...
