Cannot open Office 2004 documents with Office 2011 on Lion Server

I am in the process of moving our documents from a Tiger server to Lion server.  My users who are using Office 2004 are having no issues, but the users with Office 2011 cannot open any documents with the .doc extension.  I have tried logging on using afp and smb and I get different error messages but no access.  When logging on as smb if I try to double-click I get the file type blocked message.  If I go to File/Open I get the message Word cannot open this document.  The file be in use, etc.  There are no special characters in the file name.  If I try to open a docx document then no problem.  The same problem occurs with xls versus xlsx documents.  Does anyone know if there is something different I should be doing.  Permissions are set for full access.  We have a mix of users with both versions of Office and over 90% of the file server are .doc or .xls documents.  I cannot fully implement until I get this resolved.

I am having the same problem with UCM 10gr3. Our desktop engineers are doing an enterprise upgrade of MS Office to 2010 and this issue just surfaced. Trish, how do your users authenticate to Beehive? We are using a cusom connector using our AD.

  • Cannot open any library documents with MS Office

    I recently starting using Beehive. I am a user, not an administrator. I uploaded a bunch of documents to a new workspace I just created. Now I want to open them for viewing and editing. When I try to open any MS Office document (Word, Powerpoint, Excel), I get a message "Access to this web server is disabled by default because it is controlled by basic authentication and does not use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Do you want to search the Microsoft Online Support Center to view possible solutions?". I click on "No", and then nothing happens. The applicaiton is open, but no file is never displayed.
    I have had this message before when opening documents from MS Project Server 2010 library, and always click "No" and then the document opens regardless. It also prompts me for the username and password for the Windows Server where MS Project Server 2010 is installed. I am not being prompted for that when I launch the document from Beehive. However, the MS Project Server 2010 server is located on our side of the firewall. This Beehive server is a shared government server located outside our dept firewall. BTW, I have no issues opening PDF files.
    A workaround is to drag and drop the document onto my desktop and then open it. Not very efficient, but it works. I have tried adding the website as a "trusted locations" but can't add the URL. Is this a function of MS Office, a function of our Webwasher, or is it something that must be done on Beehive?
    Thought this might be a useful way to do team collaboration across several government depts, but won't do me any good if I can't open and edit the documents I store on there.

  • HT4767 cannot open office 2004 with lion

    just upgrade to lion and now i cannot open office 2004.  now what?

    Hello Zendentity,
    Office 2004 is not compatible with OS X Lion.
    You can upgrade to Office 2011 or use the free LibreOffice. Compatible with all major competitors' file formats. You can easily import files from Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint and many other formats, and can easily save to Microsoft Office and other formats when needed.

  • Cannot open Office 2013 Excel, Word, PPT Files on Network Share

    Cannot open Office 2013 Excel, Word, PPT Files on Network Share
    I am having a problem opening any Office 2013 file when it is located on a network drive. I immediately get the error:  
    "Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space.
    . To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer need.
    . To free disk space, delete files you no longer need from the disk you are saving to."
    It only occurs when I try to access the file when it is stored on a network share. I cannot open any word, excel or PPT files located on my file shares.
    I am on Windows 8 (pro), part of a local domain based on Server 2003, and have administrator rights to the domain and the file share where the Excel file resides (and Word files -same problem). If I copy the file locally, I can either open
    it directly, or right-click, go to Properties and 'un-block' the file and then open it. But it is impractical to keep doing this, as I edit different files from the directory tree all day.
    I have bing'd and google'd this extensively, and the only answers I come up with do not work, such as going into the DCOM config system and changing the user from interactive to launching user, or vice versa, or even using a specific user - mine
    with the password. Since the product is so young there aren't a lot of posts on this, and nothing has improved the situation.
    Can you add any insight to this? I really want to use Office 2013, but this is such an obstacle I'm going to have to downgrade if this problem cannot be resolved. Thank you very much for any help you can offer.
    Evan

    Dear Evan,
    If DCOM config solution did not work, I'd suggest narrow down the problem by trying to access another network share on another server, try to open an Office file there, do we still have the error? It could help us determine if the issue is on the client
    machine or the server side.

  • I have loaded and reloaded Reader 9.  I cannot open a pfd document.      I can save it to desk top then open it via a drop down box that has a "open with Adobe Reader 9".  How can I avoid having to do this?

    Hello Michael,
    Thank you for your response.  My operating system is XP.  When I try to open a pfd document I just get a series of letters and symbols in a dialog box.  The top of the box says "select the encoding that makes your document readable".  I can choose Windows, MS-Dos, or other (there is a long list to choose from).  None seem to make a difference.  If I save the document to my desk top I can right click on it and choose an option "Open with  AdobeReader 9" and it opens fine.
    Thank you,

    Hello:
    What operating system does your computer use? What happens when you attempt to open a PDF document rather than saving it first? Please include any/all error messages. Also, have you tried opening documents from other locations or just one in particular?
    Thanks,

  • I recently updated to the OSX 10.8.3 Operating Sistem.  I am writing a book and now cannot open any word document I've created.  Could not find a newer version of the Microsoft Word Processing Program.  Is Pages the next thing? Can I recover my documents?

    I recently updated to the OSX 10.8.3 Operating Sistem.  I am writing a book and now cannot open any word document I've created with the old system.  Could not find a newer version of the Microsoft Word Processing Program.  Is Pages the next thing? Can I recover my documents?  How?

    I'm in the same boat: new to OS X and Mac, and in the middle of a book. I switched because I heard about the the ease of using Mac, but so far, for me, it's been a nightmare. I bought 2011 Office Mac and hate everything about it, the most recent being the inability to open or cut or paste any of my original word files. I understand that this could have easily been done with earlier versions, but not Mountain Lion (which I learned is what OSX is.) Since I work with language, I am amazed at the assumptions of the Apple community. It helps to use common language and explain even the basics.  
    So all the helpful hints to use the latest version of Office Mac are to no avail. Now what?

  • Open Pages 3 documents with Pages 5?

    I'm thinking of updating from Pages 3.x to 5.x.
    Is it true one cannot open Pages 3 files with Pages 5?
    If so, what is the workaround?

    Yes, it's true. The new versions cannot open any iWork '08 or earlier documents or templates. You will get an error saying to open the files in iWork '09 then open them in the new version. I suggest that you buy a retail copy of iWork '09 from a third party such as Amazon or eBay & then update to the new iWork apps in the Mac App Store. You might check this link for the iWork '09 trial. I have no idea if it is still available.
    If you’ve already purchased the new iWork apps in Mavericks, you can also use this trick to get Pages 4.3. If you still have access to a Mac running Mountain Lion. It must be Mountain Lion or Lion. Snow Leopard won't work. If the iWork '09 apps are installed, compress them & delete the originals. Launch the Mac App Store & click on the 'install' buttons under the iWork apps. You will get a message that you can't install the new version on this Mac but it will offer to download the previous version for you. Voilá, you have the self-contained apps that you can copy to another Mac.
    If you don't want to use iWork '09 to convert the files to a format that the new versions can open you can export them as Microsoft Office documents - Word, Excel, PowerPoint - then open those in the new versions.

    THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
    And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
    It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.
    I've been here too long to start posting bogus urls now.

    Word can't open or does it open but you can't open documentts?
    If you have Office does Excell or Power Point open? If they do you can perhaps check for updates with either of them: Help > Check for Updates. You can also try to reinstall Office with your installation disks. Don't delete Office, just try to install it again.

  • Cannot use Office 04 after Lion

    Hi All,
    After I installed Lion last night, I could not use my Microsoft Office 2004 anymore. A message saying PowerPC no more supported. OMG, cannot open all my documents and excel files unless I transfer them to my PC. . Anyone has any suggestion what I should do ? Does anyone know if there will be an update by Apple to address this besides I need to upgrade my Office to latest version ? Thanks.

    It may be a hidden Library folder issue. Close all open apps, Open the terminal app and type this:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    then press enter.
    This will make your Library folder visible and may help.

  • Cannot open any Pages documents made prior to upgrading to Yosemie. Pages does not appear in the iCloud list in system preferences.

    Upgraded to Yosemite. Upgraded Pages to latest version. Uninstalled older versions of pages (made with iWork '09). Now I cannot open any Pages documents made prior to upgrading. I keep getting the same redundant message: "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. You can download the latest version of Pages from the Mac App Store." Not sure if this is relevant, but Pages does not show up in the iCloud list in systems preferences.

    Ok, I found pages on the iCloud drive. But the behavior of Pages is still the same, problem unchanged.

  • Cannot open doc perviously saved with pages v5.0. Message states need latest version which I have!

    Having created a new document using latest Pages ,v 5.0 (downloaded when I upgraded from Mountain Lion to OSX Mavericks) and saved it, when I try to open it, I get a message, " You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." The strange thing is that all my other previous docs created using iWorks , Pages, version 09, open successfully when I double click on them, although they now contain the "improvements" introduced by the upgrade to latest version of Pages. Can anyone suggest why new docs cannot open when created recently with the latest version.

    Pages 5.0 is indeed the latest version, but are you sure you're using Pages 5.0 to open the document?
    The Pages icon should look like this:
    If it doesn't, you're actually using an older version of Pages to open the document.  This is quite possible, because the Pages update didn't always place the new icon in your dock.
    If the new icon is not in your dock, find it in your Applications folder and drag it there.  You can drag the old one off your dock as well.

  • Cannot open old Pages documents

    Cannot open old Pages documents after installing Yosemite. "The required index.xml file is missing." What happened?

    Are you sure you are opening the new iWork apps versions? They keep the old iWork version in case you want to use it again, so you might be opening the wrong version.
    Open a Finder window and choose Applications in the sidebar. Then, look for the Pages, Numbers and Keynote icons with the new icon, and open them. You should be able to open your documents without any problem.
    To prevent this issue again, drag their icons to the Dock, so you can access to them easily
