If you have web apps set up on SharePoint 2010 (a nifty feature I think!) you will notice that office documents in a library will not always open in the browser but will open up the full fat office programme.
To make sure that your documents open using the browser app then go into the doc lib settings, click advanced settings then check the radio button to open in browser!
The defaut behaviour will now be set to open in Web Apps in the browser!

Hi,
I am also having the same problem. The method you specified above works only with Word or PowerPoint 2003 but not with Excel 2003. Even if I enable this option, still the excel 2003 documents are not opening in browser.
Would be great if you share some more help on this.
Thanks and Regards,
Kalyan Guin
