Can't open Office documents from share on Windows 8

We have a problem with a customer that they can't open Office documents(Word,Excel etc.) on Windows 8.1 image on a network share. The error message is just that the document can't open.
The documents are on a sharepoint site and we can open the documents within the site and also we can open the Office documents on a Windows 7 image from the networkshares.
Also can't open the documents if i copy them to the local desktop.
I think there is a group policy for Windows 8 for this but I don't know for sure?
Anybody?

Hi,
As I understand, the issue is that customers can’t open office documents on windows 8.1 on a network share or copying them to the local desktop.
Per my test, I can open documents on windows 8.1 on a network share.
1. By default, Word doesn't trust files in temp directories from your browser. You can add the
network address and local address to the trusted list. From Word 2010/2013: Click File > Word Options > Trust Center->trust center setting->add new location.
2. You can create a shortcut on the desktop using the network address and then open the documents by that way.
3. To narrow down the research scope that you can create a new document library->Download a problematic file (an Excel workbook or a word document) to your local->Upload the local file to the new document library->do the same option to check if
the same situation will occur.
There is a similar case:

Hi Sara Fan,
Thanks for your reply.
I have added the profile to the trusted locations but without success. Also a shortcut is not working. I still can't open any Office document on that location(Error message: location ***.xxxx can't be opened). The problem occurs on every client.
1. Opening Office documents under local administrator account, domain admin account is working fine
2. Re-image the machine is not a solution
4. All locations use the same Windows 8.1 image through SCCM
3. When the user logon to another location(site) it's working fine and they can open Office documents so it seems site-specific
4. The problem is specific from 2 sharepoint shares. We can open office documents from other shares.
5. Can't open Office documents from the library on the sharepoint site(browser), but on another location it's working fine.
Problem only occurs on Windows 8.1 image with domain users. Other locations of this company do not have the problem. Note, every location have their own OU for users/clients.
Any other suggestions?

  • Can't open Office documents from network share

    Dear,
    I have a user named X that can't open Office documents from two specific shares. We call this shares T and U.
    When the user X opens Office documents the error message is "...xlsx can't be opened". The problem is not client specific because when I login on the same client I can open the documents without any problem. If you copy the file to your desktop it
    opens fine.
    Any idea?

  • Not able to open office documents from SharePoint site using Forms auth on a Mac with Office 2011

    I posted the same question on the Mac Office forum (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macstart/not-able-to-open-office-documents-from-sharepoint/7fba517b-ebd1-4e90-a54a-c70c5f035146?tm=1418836613595) but figured it's probably more
    of a SharePoint question so I'm going to try here as well.
    We just discovered an issue where a user logs into a SharePoint site using Forms based authentication.  When clicking on an Office file they get
    'Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you' message:
    The user can download the file and can also open the file within the browser (Office Web apps).  This SharePoint site is on a Web app that uses mixed authentication (forms for external partners) and Windows/Kerberos for internal employees.
     When logging into this same site as an internal user I am able to open the file just fine.
    I checked the 'Microsoft Document Connection' settings and selected and deselected 'Enable Basic Authentication' and neither helped.  
    I also tried to add the site URL under 'Microsoft Document Connection' -> Add connection -> Connect to a SharePoint site.  When I put the site URL in and click 'Connect', I get an error saying that 'Only connection to SharePoint or OneDrive
    servers are supported' message.  If I try the same thing as an internal user using Windows/Kerberos authentication I am able to connect to the site just fine.
    Any ideas??

    Hi Szamir,
    As you are using Form Based authentication to open the documents from SharePoint site, I recommend to check the things below:
    Make sure that the user has permission to view the documents in the site.
    Please select "Sign me in automatically" when you sign in the login page.

  • Problem opening Office documents from KM

    Hello, I have some problem opening Office documents from KM.
    We stored a lot of office documents (Excel, Word ecc.) in a File System repository (the standard repository "/documents"), when I open one of these files, before to view the document, a little logon window appears, it asks portal user's credentials.
    If the user presses the "Cancel" button the logon window will be closed and the document showed, but on the next attempt to open an office file the system will asks again the user information .
    If the user gives the right information the documents will be showed and the logon window does not appear again..
    How con I avoid the logon request for each Office document in my repository?
    Any suggestion??
    Best Regards

    Thank you a lot Brad!!
    We use Office 2003 and the note 549610 solves our issue!!

    I can't open word documents from Finder

    If you mean "I can't double click a *doc file and make word open" then you highlight the file and do a command-I (or get info).  When the window comes up, change the "open with" parameter.  You can also right click and select "other"

  • Problem to open Office documents from Sharepoint

    Hello All,
    We have published SharePoint 2013 (NTLM authentication) via TMG 2010. However, we are having the following issue:
    When users try to open (https connection) any Office Documents to Office 2013 they get prompted for credentials, then after they provide credentials they get "Sorry, we couldn't open <URL of the document>". The prompt for credentials is ok because
    persistent cookies are not option for us. We don’t have Office Web Apps in use and we want to open documents to client application. Our company users machines are Windows 7, Office 2013 and Internet Explorer 10/11.
    I made some tests and everything work fine with:
    Windows 7, Office 2010 and Internet Explorer 10/11
    Windows 7, Office 2013 and Internet Explorer 8
    Almost fine:
    Windows 7, Office 2013 and Firefox (latest). With Firefox it works if I open any Office document from summary link list but not if I try to open from inside document library. If I open from document library (right click) to new tab or to new window it works
    fine.
    Any ideas what’s going on? It must be something with IE 10/11 and Office 2013. I also tried with TMG persistent cookie and then I can open Office documents with IE 10/11.
    I also checked with fiddler what happens and I can see that everything stops to 401 error.
    Thank you,

    Hello Miikkal,
    You need to enable SharePoint class in IE. Please follow this
    blog and follow this
    article.
    Once, this is done you can Enable all the IE settings to load for Intranet and Trusted zone settings
    Put your site in compatibility mode and trusted zone
    Also, make sure that 2 versions of Office suite is not installed on the system.  Eg. Lync 2013 and Office 2010 on one single machine
    What happen when you by pass your TMG server. To do this we need to make host entry for URL directed to APP server IP Address.
    Thank You, Pallav S. Srivastav ----- If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered.

  • Open Office documents from NSS exported as AFP impossible

    I have my Mac Lion 10.7.4 users accessing user spaces (NW 6.5.8 NSS exported
    as AFP)
    It is imposssible to open Office documents (doc?, ppt? etc)
    Anybody has an idea why that is happening?
    Seb

    It used to work at some stage in the past (early Lion with AFP fix on Mac
    side)
    Then it stopped working. But I could not pinpoint what could cause it.
    I hardly do any updates to Netware box itself these days (none since Jan
    2012)
    Last NSS update I done was the very one N65NSS8c

  • Can't open office files from my usb drive

    Dear forum
    Sins a few weeks ago i am not able to open office file from my USB-drive.
    However i can copy the file to the desktop and than i can open them.
    I have this problme only (for as far i know) with office files.
    greetings Ypkoba

    If the drive is NTFS format, the Mac can read, but not write thiose drives natively.
    So the issue may be that the temp file and the output file cannot be created on the same drive.

  • Can't open Word documents from Macmail

    I use MS Office since I am in publishing and have never had this problem before. But about 50% of the time, I can't open .docx documents that are sent to me by email. Again, this is only some .docx documents. Any ideas on why this might be happening?
    Also, it gives me an error message saying that there is not enough disk space to convert this document, but I have about 175GB available.

    Try http://www.neooffice.org/ instead of Microsoft Word.

    I am trying to open a pdf file through documents to go on my Centro (verizon). I received a this message: An unexpected error occured! Error number: 0x7371803. 
    What does this mean?
    I saw on another thread there is a palm pdf software that works. I went to the site; it said this program is not compatitable with Centro. Has anyone else found a workaround or another program?
    Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
    The error could be caused by the particular file you are trying to open, the way it was created, etc.  Have you tried opening other .pdf documents?

  • Can't open a document or run on Windows 8.1

    Any ideas why I can't open a document or open the program on Windows 8.1?

    "Unable" and "can't" means exactly the same: nothing.  What exactly happens when you try to open Adobe Reader or a PDF?
    Still, what is your Reader version?

  • Pages can't open docx documents from Dropbox

    I am new to MacBook Air and Pages having just moved from a PC. I have an ipad2 and iphone and create documents on Quickoffice Pro HD and store them in Dropbox. I have been unable to open any .docx documents on my MBA. I have tried opening Pages first and selecting Dropbox from the application. I seem to be able to open .doc documents but saving them back to Dropbox is awkward and they don't end up in the right folders. Other than installing Microsoft Word on my Mac, what can I do to make this work better? I was under the mistaken understanding that Pages played better with MSWord. Is there an app like Quickoffice Pro for the Mac?

    Pages opens MsWord doc files but you need to Export files back.
    Pages will save where you want it to, it is not an issue with the application.
    Try LibreOffice [free] which is available on most OSes, as an alternative to MsOffice. There is also an Office for Mac if you want the greatest degree of compatibility.
