Can't open attachment in xls format

Hi folks, hope someone can lead me to a solution.
I use Mail 1.3.11
Just received an attachment in Excel (?) - the title is Book1.xls, and when I tried to open it I was told that my trial period had run out.
I tried using Stuffit Expander, no luck.
I tried Neo Office >Open Document. Got gibberish (beginning with Stuffit!)
Tried Exporting as PDF... and send to myself. Three tries, but none has been delivered yet, although the "airplane" sounded and they show in the "sent box." They are now titled Book1.xls_0.pdf.
Twice, however, they have re-appeared in the "drafts box."
I tried opening the draftPDF attachment, got the same gibberish. Tried moving it to the desktop, then opening it. Gibberish.
What am I missing? Is there a possibility of opening this thing? It is very embarrasing as a client sent it.
With hope,
Patricia

Hi, Patricia. If the file came to you with a .sit filename extension, it needs to be expanded by Stuffit Expander before you try to open it in NeoOffice. In that case it should expand to something with an .xls extension. Dragging and dropping the .xls file onto NeoOffice's icon, OR opening NeoOffice and then opening the file from the File menu, should open the .xls file without any problem if the file is intact. If it opens to gibberish using both of those methods, the file is corrupt: perhaps damaged in transit, perhaps corrupt at its point of origin. Ask the sender to confirm that it opens correctly at his end, and then to send it to you again.

I can no longer open excel documents in my doc to go app. Error message simple reads can not open attachment. And the attachment is now a winmail.dat

winmail.dat files usually mean the email has been sent in rich text format - you could either the person who sent it to send it in a different format e.g. plain text or HTML, or there are a few apps in the store that support it (search for winmail.date in the store).

can not open attachment on my email

Hi,
Can you save them ? What are the file formats (after .) of the attachments. Depending the file formats, you need software to be able to open them (most of them are free).

OTM can not open attachment with Word Document(*.docx)

With more and more use of Word Document(*.docx) (version 2007). OTM (Oracle Test Manager) can create an attachment with it, but can not open attachment with Word Document(*.docx). Is this a problem for anyone else? Any wok around?
Thanks
Katherine

I am using OTM version 9.2 and the Word document (*.docx) attachment can be opened in this.
For being able to open a docx file, try to attach an word document from the file option in the Requirements, Test or Issue tabs in OTM , once you upload the file, please check if location is " in Database" Else click update DB and upload the document.
Once the attachment is attached to the Attachment section in the right pane, clicking on the attachment will open the *.docx document.
This has worked for me.
Hope this helps.

Can't open password protected xls or pdf

I can't open a password protected xls or pdf file attachment in my yahoo email inbox. I don't get an option to enter the password. Any workaround for this?

Same here.... very annoying. Hopefully Apple will pick up on this. The fact it just shows up as a blank page (without showing some kind of error msg) definitely makes this a defect... Hopefully a fix will come soon.

Can't Open Numbers file, wrong format

Hello I have Numbers version 3.2
I have a friend who has created 3 numbers spreadsheets. I can not open them on my mac.
On my Mac with mavericks , I get error can't open file. I checked console and got detailed message "8/13/14 8:04:54.759 PM Numbers[284]: *** Assertion failure #2: -[TSAImportController prepareForImportDisplayingProgress:] TSAImportController.m:292 Could not create importer for document at /Users/bill/Desktop/2014 Conference Spreadsheet.numbers."

What does this indicate, they can take the same file and make it an Xcel and I can open.
I tried to move the file over to the cloud and open , and I get error 'invalid file format" what is going on here ?

Update #3 .. I tried to install an old version of numbers. Interesting enough files still error, but they error with the error reported on iCloud. "could not open file, wrong format" console : 8/14/14 8:23:49.220 PM Numbers[425]: Error opening document in -[SFAppApplicationDelegate(Private) doCoordinatedReadWorkForURL:]. No NSError provided

Report output as an attachment in.XLS format via email.

Hi all,
When i run my report in back ground, my alv report output is to be sent as an email attachment in excel (.XLS) format. The issue i am facing is that i have around 40 fields in the output and i need to create a Header line with the Field Description in the Excel file. I am using the FM 'SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1', and passing the report output in to the table CONTENTS_BIN LIKE SOLISTI1 which is of Char 255. but my report output header is exceeding that length.
Kindly suggest me on how to acheive this.
Regards,
Jose

Hi Jose,
As for your first question you may place cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab between contetaned fields' values. It will place then a tab mark between each two fields, which will be considered by excel as new column.
Using cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline is also correct. I will probably only result in one extra line at the end as after you append your last line to BIN table, also newline will be placed. cl_abap_char_utilities=>lf on the other hand should be placed in front of each line as this denotes Carriage Return so it simply means: "place the cursor at the beginning of each line just before writing this line".
Regards
Marcin

Can't open attachment on calendar...sort of

Mountain Lion and iCloud sure are weird! I just created an event in Calendar on my Mac. I attached a pdf to the event. Click on it and the attachment opens--very nice. Now I look at the event on my iPhone. I click on the attachment and I'm told I can't open this type of file. Oh, maybe if I change the file on my mac to a Preview file. I open get info and change the file to open with Preview. I try to open the file with Preview on my mac. I get the shocker message that my settings prevent opening a file with a program from an unknown developer. I know how to get around that, but really, is Apple Computer an unknown developer?
So I open Preview and save the file to iCloud. But when I click on the attachment in the event on my iPhone, it still can't open it.
Now, to be clear, I've never much used attachements to calendar events, but it seems like a nice feature. And I never knew that events on the iPhone even showed the attachments, although it seems that there's no way to add an attachment on the iPhone itself. But this whole episode makes it clear to me that Mountain Lion and iCloud are nothing more than a work in progress that hasn't been fully thought out and is full of holes. Is this the first Apple beta of a complete operating system? Are we all just testers?

It took me a little bit to get mine off too. After unscrewing the 7 screws, for some of them I used a tiny flat head screwdriver to pry them from underneath the screwhead back and forth to get it to pop up. Eventually I got them up. Weird thing is after getting everything back together I heard a noise in my laptop. I took the screws out again (much easier the second time) and 3 tiny metal screw clips fell out of the machine. I don't think these are necessary and were probably a large reason they were so hard to get out in the first place. Can anyone shed some light on these and whether I should even try to locate the screws they came from.

Can't open attachments or reply

When I get an e-mail with an attachment, I can't open the attachment, reply, forward, or delete the e-mail. The only button that works is the return button.
This started when I updated to ver. 4.5
Anyone have this problem?

I am using AC6 and find that I cannot open hyperlink in exe. format, I can see the "hand over" icon when I roll to the link.

Hi TS,
Your profile shows MAC OS X 10.7.4, but your Tags include mavericks. Mavericks is OS X 10.9.x
I suspect you have Numbers 3 on your machine. Do a Spotlight search for Numbers. If Numbers 3 is on your machine, it will be in your Applications folder. Numbers 2 (Numbers '09) has been moved to a folder called iWork '09 within your Applications folder.
Wayne Contello has written a User Tip for working with the old and new versions of iWork.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6991
The console log (which I can't interpret) mentions a server. Is this iCloud?
More information will lead to a solution .

Ian.
