Can't open Excel or Word files on share drive (SMB or AFP) after 10.9.2
After updating to Mavericks OS 10.9.2, I can no longer open excel or word files on my company file share. I receive the error:
'FILEPATH' could not be found.
Ckeck the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct.
If you are trying to open the file from your list of most frequently used files on the File menu, make sure that the file has not been renamed, moved, or deleted.
I am able to open files on my lcaol hard drive, and other external USB Flash drives. Word present's a slightly different error, with the same theme (filename).
I've tried rebooting both the client and server (both running 10.9.2). Was successful opening files when booting the client into safe mode. Any ideas?

I don't know if this will help but I had a similar problem that started yesterday. I have two macs. Once can't open MS Office files from the other Mac but can open Office files on each Mac. Drove me nuts for about 2 hours today - on the phone with Apple twice and Microsoft once. Finally found a similar post from 2007 that suggested to turn off and on file sharing by unchecking the "Share files and folders using AFP", on both computers and rebooting. That fixed it.
Funny thing, it was only with Office files I created since updating the software last week. Old Office files opened fine.

Is the version of excel from Office 2004 or older?
That will not run beyond 10.6.8, because it contains PowerPC code, no longer supported in 10.7 and later. -

Can I open excell and word files on iPad
Is there a way to read ms office files ag. Word , excel or PowerPoint on I pad?
The iPad will open and display them natively. To edit them, you need an app from the App Store. Documents to Go is one.

On iPad can I open a Microsoft word file with apple pages app?
On iPad, can I open a Microsoft word file with apple pages application? If so how do I perform this activity?
Yes you can open Word files. If it is an email attachment you can simply tap and hold down on the icon and select "open in" and then select Pages - as long as you have the Pages app on the iPad.
Where is the file on your iPad or how do you want to move it to the iPad? -

Can't open Read-Only Word Files
Hi,
I can't open word files that windoze has arked as Read-Only with pages 08. I get the error message, "the document FILENAME couldnt be opened."
Anyone got ideas..Hi folks,
I've solved the problem, so if anyone else is having the problem, I solved it this way. The files were on a memory stick, so when I read this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106712 it became obvious that if a dragged the files into my Documents folder OS X should give the correct file permissions automatically and it did. Well done Apple.
The link also gives info on how to do this manually if you need help.

I was printing a Microsoft Excel document when I got the message that the program has unexpectedly quit, Now I can't even open Word or Excel, Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advanceCould be that you prefs went bad. If you can track down the prefs for them, delete them and see if it rebuilds them then that could be your problem. If not, it maybe a font that went corrupt. Try turning off your fonts and re-launching.
Good luck. -

Sounds like you are using one of the online services, like the cloud. This forum is for the stand-alone Acrobat and I have no clue. The cloud or related forum should provide better info.

ken yanowHi,
Have you try to un-select the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) setting?
Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Excel Options.
Click Advanced, and then click to clear the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)
check box in the General area.
Click OK.
If the problem cannot resolve, the Run as administrator may selected.
Go to Office default install location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12.
Right-click EXCEL.EXE > Properties >
Compatibility tab.
Under Privilege Level, uncheck Run this program as an administrator
check box.
Best regards.

I have some users in my company that can't open Excel files from any document libraries on SharePoint 2010. The receive the error message "An error occurred. Please try again." We don't currently use the Excel calculations services. When
a user opens an excel file they are prompted to either Read Only or Edit.
This affects less than 5 people in a large company. They have the Full Control permissions and have been able to open the files previously. There has been no changes made to the server either. I can't find anything that points to this in the
event viewer.
It doesn't matter if which computer that they try to open this up from either. All computers are Windows 7 Professional with IE 9 and Office 2010 x64.
I can't find anything that points specifically to this exact error. None of the excel files contain pivot tables. This one has me stumped.I would make sure no one has open on machine / locked on machine (Would assume you checked this, but wanted to add)
Also would have assumed you restarted the machines (:))
Make sure the file security did not change (check to ensure no one changed the sercuity of the excel)
Make sure the version of excel is the same (Changing from 2010 back to 2007 affects the file, etc.. on convert) that no one converted and saved thus causing error in file.
Can they open other excel files?
It sounds like the excel file it self has changed if you cannot see issue in SharePoint logs.
If it is all SharePoint excel files - try deleting one persons access and readding them to see if that helps.
SharePoint has issues ;) -
How can I open excel pdf files
How can I open excel pdf files
Hi mmart1957,
Do you have Excel files, PDF files, or PDF files that have been converted to Excel? If you're working with PDF files, you'll need either Reader or Acrobat to open the files. If you have a converted Excel file, then you'll need Excel to open it.
Best,

Since upgrading to OS X Mavericks I have not been able to work on any MS Word tracked changes documents (works fine if no tracked changes or comments in the doc). Every time upon opening such a word file with tr.changes the word processor closes / crashes.
What can be done in this case?I just discovered that by turning off in tracked changes balloons in Word preferences prevents the software from crashing, but from then on I need to use only the review pane.

Out look 365 crash when preview excel or word file
Good day
Nobody help me first time i write
I got this problem with my outlook 365
Every time i try to preview excel or word file in any message on outlook 365
It hang then crash and restart
Fny help how can i fix this problem
i even try to fast reinstall
then try to full reinstall it didn't help
My office version is 15.0.4701.1002
I use windows 8.1 64bitHi,
Have you ever checked the crash log? Does it say anything useful there? Does this only happen with Excel and Word files? What about other type of attachments?
What do you mean by "fast reinstall" and "full reinstall"?
This issue might occurs due to lots of reasons, I would suggest we first try below steps to troubleshoot the issue:
Try to clean out Outlook attachement cache, then try again. For Outlook 2013, the default folder location of these cache files is stored in the following registry key. Copy the path in the Value, open and clean the file in it:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Security|OutlookSecureTempFolder.
Install any available udpates or update your Office to the latest version. It's always recommended to keep your current up to date.
Test in Outlook safe mode, and see if issue persists: Press Win + R and type "outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, then press Enter.
Hope this helps, please feel free to post back with any findings.
Regards,
Ethan Hua
