Hi,

Office Web components are no longer supported in Office 2013 now. You may need to start migrating your solutions to another alternative, such as Office Web Applications. I have included some references about the policies for you review below.

Hi Jaroslw,

Thank you for posting in the MSDN Forum.

Since the issue is more relate to the end-user, I'd like to move it to Office 2013 and Office 365 ProPlus -IT Pro General Discussions forum.

The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.

Thanks for your understanding.

Best regards

Fei
