Allowing Pop-ups from Office Online in Chrome

While you're using Oracle Smart View for Office (Mac and Browser) in an Office Online environment in Chrome, you will encounter pop-ups, which Chrome will block. The first time a pop-up is blocked, you can specify that Chrome allows these pop-ups.

For example, the first time that you click a button in the ribbon, such as the Change Alias button, a pop-up blocker may display. When you encounter a pop-up blocker in Chrome, the address bar briefly displays the words "Pop-up blocked" along with the pop-up blocker button, Pop-up blocker button:

After a few seconds, only the pop-up blocker button, Pop-up blocker button, is displayed in the address bar. The text that displays when you hover over the button indicates that pop-ups have been blocked on this page:

To allow pop-ups from Office Online as you work:

  1. At the first encounter with a pop-up blocker, leave the dialog that triggered the pop-up blocker open, do not close it, and do not make any selections in it.
  2. In the Chrome address bar, click the pop-up blocker button, Pop-up blocker button.

    The Pop-ups blocked dialog is displayed.

  3. Select the Always option, and then click Done.

    Your Office Online URL is now added to the list of allowed pop-ups in Chrome.

  4. If still open, close the dialog you were working in.
  5. Restart your browser and reconnect to your web application, Office 365, and Smart View, and then repeat the task you were previously working on.

Note:

You should only have to perform this procedure once for all subsequent Smart View operations and sessions.
