3350338 - OfficeIntegration opens Excel/Word outplace instead of inplace (inside SAP GUI)

Symptom

After a change in Office (e.g. installing a newer Office version) it is noticed that the previous behavior changed.

Excel/Word suddenly opens outplace instead of in-place (or vice versa).

For when Office opens outplace, this leads to the impression that SAP GUI screen is giving a "blank screen", when actually SAP GUI is on stand by while a Word application has opened externally.

OR

Sometimes this may lead in some cases for an Excel/Word window opening suddenly during a processing when it would not be expected for this to happen.
