Unable to open all office files

I unable to open any ms office word and excel files, its showing files are corrupted.

Hi,
Does it only happen to Word and Excel? What about other Office applications, like PowerPoint?
Please first try to launch Word and Excel in safe mode: Press Win + R and type "winword /safe" or "Excel /safe"in the blank box, then press
Enter.
Click File->Open to open the file and check result, this will help to determine if any add-ins caused the issue.
You might want to repair your Office from Control Panel, the installation might be corrupted. For steps on how to do this, please check this article:

Hope this helps, please feel free to post back.

Sharepoint 2010 and Unable to Open MS Office Files

Hello,
I have this annoying issue that I'm experiencing. My IE11 is unable to open *any* sharepoint files. I have to "download a copy", then "add document" in order for me to update files, pure annoyance.
This is just for one client.
Here's the stuff I've done so far
Change a new PC
Remove Office 2013 OEM and Install Office 2010 Standard (cannot open file)
Remove Office 2010 Standard and Install Office 2013 (cannot open file)
BasicAuthLevel registry (no go)
Disable all IE Plugins except Microsoft ones (no go)
Use IE x86 (no go)
Use IE10 (no go)
Use IE Tab on Firefox (no go)
Trust Center and Trust all Content (no go)
Delete Cache, reset Advanced Setting, "reset" (no go)
Uncheck "Autodetect" on LAN setting, then recheck (no go)
Add sharepoint to Trusted Sites (no go).
Use CCleaner to clean PC, then reinstall Office (no go)
Uninstall all other office product except 2013 Office. Remove Sharepoint component via Repair, then re-add (no go)
I've Binged and tested many solutions and unable to find it. I use fiddler to see what stuff is being passed back and forth.
The file is 100kb. If I use "download a copy", its downloaded right away. However, if I open with Sharepoint, it takes forever, then eventually give me this error (see attached).
Please advise. I've seen odd issue, but never this one where I cannot Bing it.

Hi Samir,
For troubleshooting your issue, you can take steps as below:
1.Make sure you are using IE 32bit.
2.Go to Internet Options>Advanced tab, uncheck "Do not save encrypted files to disk".
3.Delete the Office File Cache:http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/office-2010-fix-office-document-cache-error/

Can not open all .pdf files in Yahoo Mail.

Three computers using Windows XP and Internet Explorer can open all .pdf files in Yahoo
Mail. The fourth and newest Computer with XP Pro, Internet Explorer, and the latest Adobe
Reader can only open some, but not all, .pdf files in Yahoo Mail. Nothing happens when
the window is clicked to open file. How can this be fixed?

Adobe Reader isn't my favorite, but neither are smug and uninformed assertions about Preview. There are PDFs that render only squares and marks under Preview (http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/24209/this-pdf-displays-with-question-m arks-instead-of-letters), which is a common problem in MS Windows Office generated PDFs, so you may actually need Adobe Reader for Mac.
If you need to use Adobe Reader (as I do), then it may depend on the filesystem type where you save your PDF. For example, our Macs are network homed. Saving to desktop produced the error reported above no matter whether I used Safari:Save As, or the PDF save icon.
However, when I saved to a local drive (such as /tmp), then it worked. I don't know why file system makes a difference, unless Adobe is doing something with extended attributes that doesn't get written correctly to some filesystems.
Hope this helps.

Error message: "Unable to open the physical file" when trying to attach AdventureWorks database

I have searched the internet and this forum and have not found an answer...
I am trying to install the AdventureWorks database into my single instance of MS SQL Server Express 2005. I am logged into my machine as an administrator and logged into SQL Server 2005 express 'sa'. I attempt to run the following script:
exec sp_attach_db @dbname = N'AdventureWorks',
@filename1 = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Data.mdf',
@filename2 = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_log.ldf'
The error message I get back is:
Msg 5120, Level 16, State 101, Line 1
Unable to open the physical file "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Data.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".
The folder "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data" and all the files in it are read-write. I am 100.0000% certain the files "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Data.mdf" and "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Log.ldf" exist! They are the result of running the installation program AdventureWorksDB.msi, which I downloaded from: http://www.codeplex.com/MSFTDBProdSamples/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4004.
What do I have to do to install the AdventureWorkds database????

Hello,
To try to help you, please, could you give some more informations ?
- the operating system (XP/Vista), the edition ( Pro/Home...) and the service pack
- usually, the installer installs the both files in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Sql Server\Samples. Is there any change in the location or have you moved the both files ?
- could you check with the files explorer , that the 2 files are read-write and not read only( find one file, right-click on it, properties and in the 1st tabpage, you should see a checkbox read-only ( if checked , unchecke it ) ?
- have you Sql Server Management Studio Express Edition ( at least SP1 ) ?
If no, download it and use it to attach
in the object explorer,
click on your instance to expand it
right click on databases
in the contextual menu, click on attach
in the new form,click on add
you arrive on a second form : find your file , click on it, and OK
it's the simplest way to attach ( the sp_-attach_db is complicated to type )
the error messages are sometimes more clear in SSMSEE than in Sqlcmd
Try also to attach ( thru SSMSEE or Sqlcmd but in using the windows authentification )
NB: i hope that you are not trying to attach AdventureWorks on a remote instance and on a remote computer ( it would explain access denied )
We are waiting for your feedback to try to help you more efficiently
Have a nice day

Unable to open Form Repsonse File

Hello,
I am unable to open a response file to one of my distributed forms.
I have made no changes to my system or the file. I get the following error
"To view the Flash technology content in this pdf file, please install this version of Flash Player that supports Adobe Reader and Acrobat"
If I click Proceed to download page, nothing happens.
Any suggestions??
NB: All other flash content works on this computer, Flash version 11,7,700,179

do not pause the download in the middle of the download.
with some download software, you can pause/stop the download in middle and continue.it will corrupt the software.
else in middle the due to network... it may corrupt.
check/compare the size with the original bytes mentioned in the oracle software download index size matches your downloaded file size.
try to download it again.
Good Luck.

Unable to open microsoft office

I am unable to open Microsoft office at all. I restored my system yesterday and it worked. shut down and logged on today the same issue. I show that an update was done last night so I am checking here first b/f I call microsoft.

How is this related to Firefox, or any Mozilla product?
It sounds like what you need to do is repair your Microsoft Office installation, then check Windows Update for any updates again.

Script to open all PST files in a directory and open with Outlook.

Hi! I am looking for a script that opens all PST files in a directory, opens it in outlook, and writes to a log to see if it completed correctly. I'm new to VBscript and just want to see how the script would be written.
Thank you!!

Thank you for all the input! JRV, I went through the repository and couldn't find anything about importing into Outlook. I will use it for future references and I appreciate you directing me there.
Grant, I need to be able to locate all PST files within a directory, not point it to a specific pst. I also need it written to a log file. Here is what I have...Don't laugh, I'm very new...
const ForAppending = 8
set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile ("C:\Users\jimmy.nguyen\Desktop\Lucky.txt", ForAppending, True)
set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strCommand = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\outlook.exe"
Set objExecObject = objShell.Exec(strCommand)
wscript.sleep 4000

Set myNS = myolapp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
myNS.AddStore "objfile.name"

objFile.Name

Opening MS-Office files

Hi,
I installed MS Office 2004 on my iMac (intel). But now, when I open any Office file (.doc, .xls, ...) by double-clickin on an icon, they are associated with a "trial" version of MS Office. How can I change it, so that files are opened with the "right" Office version (not the trial one) ?
Thanks

Hi Pepol,
Well you can right-click (or control-click) on the file in question. From there select Get Info. Once that window opens look for the combo box below Opens With. Then select the installed version of Office as the default application. Repeat the process for all the Office fomatted file types.

After a recent clean install, unable to open all tracks / instruments in saved GB projects.

Hi
Since a clean install about a month ago, I am unable to open all saved Garageband projects without tracks or instruments missing and GB wanting to search for the files missing.
I am not sure if this is something to do with 10.8.2 or more recently with 10.8.3 or a problem installing from the oringal DVD and chaning the date my mac. I had so many problems previously trying to install iPhoto from the DVD I have now bought the app from the App Store.
Thanks in advance.

I'd also try trashing...

I downloaded lion but now I cannot access my word and excel docs for work. What can be done easily to open all my files?

I downloaded lion but now I cannot access my word and excel docs for work. What can be done easily to open all my files?

Have not a clue if this a LION problem or Microsoft problem. My gut says Microsoft as they acknowledge the problem in their support section. Their solution: Open files with previous version of Word. That is completely unacceptable as a solution in my opinion. Why would have I ever bothered to upgrade to 2011 if I had known I need to keep a version of 2008 running on my computer.
Honestly I don't know if it's a Lion or MS problem eihter. I have been using Lion for many months with Office 2011 with no problems though.The earliest version I had on my machine was 2008 and 2011 opened those files with no problems at all. As Dave mentioned earlier he opens Office 2004 files all the time with 2011.
One thing you might want to do is restart the computer while holding down the Option key then select the Restore Volume and run Disk Utility and repair the Disk Permissions on the HD. Run DP at least 2x.

Numbers error msg: "Unable to open ' .' Unknown file type."

I last updated this doc 4 days ago, saving it every time I update it. I use it to track my children's school hours throughout the year. I have since restarted my Mac. I went to open this file today, and am getting the error message, "Unable to open ' (name of file)' Unknown file type.
When I search for the doc under the spotlight, the name of it appears & it is listed as a Numbers doc, but I can't open it.
Any ideas for a work around? I haven't backed it up in several weeks, so I'll be very sad if I can't retrieve it at all!
Thanks for your help.

Cannot open MS Office files directly from network

Hi all,
I'm having trouble opening Microsoft Office files off of a network drive.
When opened, the application jumps straight into the template page (attached screenshot).
I can copy files onto my local machine and open them no problem, however if I have an existing file open (from the local machine) and subsequently try to open a network file, the local file is closed and the template page replaces it.
The same symptoms occur when attempting a "Save As" to the network.

I've tried replacing the office plugin file NPOFF12.DLL from a working system to the bad system, and it didnt help. I got that by doing typing about:plugins in the address bar. This person can open PDF documents, it's just Office files that dont open. I get no prompt to do anything. I have seen threads about headers on the webpages, but I'm not sure if its applicable. I tried from OWA and it does the same thing; nothing.
