Cannot open Word document files in a Portfolio

I have set up a portfolio with multiple file types. I can open Excel and Power Point files within the portfolio without a problem. When I try to open Word documents it tells me that "Acrobat cannot open this file attachment because your pdf file attachment settings do not allow for this file type to be opened. I went into preferances and checked to see if the box was checked in "trust manager" to allow files other than pdf to opened. It is checked but I am still unable to open word documents in the portfolio for some reason.

Acrobat cannot open Word files. Have you tried opening the files from within Word? If so, most probably you have a file association problem.

Cannot open Word document attachment in mail before sending.

Cannot open Word document attachment in mail before sending.
In Snow Leopard Mail 4, (Version 4.0 (1075/1075.2)) if I attach a word document to a message and, BEFORE sending the message, I double click the attached document to open it, to make sure it is the right one, I get the error "Mail was unable to save the attachment “Test.doc” to disk. Verify that your downloads folder exists and is writable."
The attachment is mailed correctly and arrives at the destination, but the ability to verify an attached document before sending it is essential. This has worked fine in all previous editions of OS X.
Any ideas?
Thanks - Lawrence

I have same problem. I've done the following testing to pinpoint where the problem lies and there are clues (see below):
1. My machine had SnowLeopard installed "fresh" (i.e. disk reformat and installed cleanly)
2. I have a comparison machine running Leopard (10.5.6) - essentially a mirror but with different OS
3. Problem is triggered when creating new email, with a MS Word .doc attachment added. If you attempt to open the attached file in the mail (not yet sent) it produces the error message "unable to save file XXX.doc to disk. Verify that your downloads folder exists and is writeable"
4.However, once the mail is sent, the recipient can open the attachment without problems.
5. I have run Disk Utility and all permissions are correct. My downloads folder exists.
6. The problem is not present in Leopard (mirror machine other than OS)
7. I have uninstalled and reinstalled MS Office. Problem still present
8. I have deleted and recreated the preference files for both MS Office and for Mail. Problem still present.
And finally...
9.The problem is confined to .doc files.It works fine for .pdf, .ods AND even for Microsoft .xls files.
So it may be a MS Word problem triggered by Snow Leopard?
Apple: if you can confirm this is a Microsoft problem it may be able to be reported to them as a compatibility issue?
Hope this helps.

After updating photoshop CS5 to 12.0.4 x32 (windows) I cannot open my documents/files or create new

I had the problem before. Reinstalled Photoshop CS5 and updated again.
Clicking a file starts Photoshop but does not open the file.
If I click "new" to make a new file, nothing happens.
Help....!!!!!!

Hi PE
Yes, but nothing happened.
I was instructed to press some key during startup of Photoshop, and it should reset the program.
However, it did not work.

Cannot Open Word Documents on Desktop

I cannot open word docs from desktop. We use Folder Redirection for the desktop and documents folders, but I don't have issues with excel or pdf files, and I'm able to open word documents from start menu.
here is the error I'm getting servername\RedirectedFolders\"username"\Desktop\file.
cannot be found. Check your spelling, or try a different path.

Hi,
Did this issue occur on all directed Word documents or some? Could you open the local Word document?
Please make sure this file is indeed exists in that path.
If it is, stop folder redirection, directly access the folder use UNC path for test.
If it works fine, please redirect again to confirm the issue.

Cannot open word document anymore since last update.

I have a Macbook Air, bought in july 2013. I've done all the updates as suggested. But since the last one I suddenly cannot open certain files that were mailed to me. On my Iphone I can still read them. Every time I try to open a word document in my mail, it's not opening, and I get the suggestion to buy I Works.
I am not very good at understanding why this suddenly happens, and what I can do to be able to open the file.
It's not a problem if I do need to buy this new software I works, but which one should I buy then?
I hope someone can explain to me what I need to do, hopefully in an understandeble way, thanks!!

I believe I understand now. You "upgraded" from OS X 10.6.x Snow Leopard to OS X 10.9x Mavericks when you bought the MBA, didn't you? And now your copy of MS Office 2004, which I suspect was copied over from your previous computer, no longer works. Look in the /Applications folder and see if there is a folder for Microsoft Office and see if there is a year in the name.
You have three choices.
1. You can purchase the most recent version of MS Office. This will ensure full document compatibility across platforms.
2. You can purchase Pages from the Mac App Store, which will allow you to open edit and save Word files. Although it is not a seamless process and documents with complex formatting and/or tables might not preserve their attributes when opened in Pages.
3. You can download and install an open source office replacement such as Libre Office or Open Office. Although the same caveats apply as with Pages.

Cannot open word documents without it asking me to purchase Office 2010 buy I do have Microsoft Office.

I have been using Word Starter 2010 for almost 2 years now but a few days ago I went to open a document and it said "The Microsoft Office product necessary to open this file is not installed on your computer." I click activate and it asks for
a product key which I don't have because I am just using the copy that was installed into my computer when I bought it almost 2 years ago. If I go to Word Starter 2010 itself I can open these documents however I cannot just click on the icons. Can someone
help please! Thanks.

Hi
There might be file association problem with your Office program, we recommend you right click on the file>Open with and select Office Starter as the default program to open these files.
We might also do a repair for Office Starter: Control panel>Program and features>Office Starter>Change>Repair

Cannot open PDF documents/files

I cannot open any PDF documents. Had been able to before. I am using the latest Mac OS. Have now also down loaded the latest Adobe Reader. Still no success.

When you save it with the menu or Safari toolbar the file it saves is CALLED a PDF file and might have the icon but it is always empty and useless. So always use the Adobe Reader toolbar. This should appear over the PDF page if you hover over the page. (Hover: move the mouse there and let it go). It looks like this. The save icon is the first one.

Cannot open Word document

The setup in my environment is that I have WL 8.1 and IIS on the same server running Windows 2003 as the OS. IIS plug-in, wlforward, iisproxy, etc was configured and mime-mapping was done on the web.xml.
It works fine when surfing jsp pages but when I want to access a MS Word document using the host header registered in IIS (ie. abc.xyz.com/word.doc), the word document will be displayed in ASCII garbage. If I accessed the same word document in WL URL (ie. abc.xyz.com:portno/word.doc), the word document will be displayed correctly.
No problem faced when access the same word document on a pure IIS website (ie. def.xyz.com/word.doc).
How do I configure WebLogic Server so that doc files can be accessed through web server from WebLogic using the host header URL (ie. abc.xyz.com?

Can you try using File Plugin & trying to read the document as a binary stream and then display it in a window with proper headers ?
Thanks,
Sridhar

Cannot open Word documents from CD

Pages will not open read-only files from CD. While it is possible to copy the files from CD to the hard drive and open them from there, this work-around is not optimal. I use several resource CDs that contain Word files as well as other file types.
Instead of copying files from a CD in order to be able to open them, it makes much more sense to allow Pages to open them directly from the CD in read-only mode.
Is there a secret way to enable this behavior? If not, Apple, will you add this functionality to Pages?

Hello
It seems that Pages is coded to save an imported file (which is the case for a .doc one) in the folder from which it was imported.
When the folder belongs to a CD, this can't be done and Pages refuses to import the doc.
I's not a bug, it's a feature.
Delberate or not is an other question.
If this feature is annoying from your point of you, described the problem to the official channel because here we are users trying to help other users.
We are not members of the Pages team.
So, *go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Pages" menu* and describe what you wish.

I have downloaded pages but cannot open Word document...

Hi There,
I have downloaded the Pages App to my iPad mini. I open up an email on my iPad with a word document attached, but when I hold down on the icon it does not come up with the option to open with Pages. All I get is the option to open it with Mail, Adobe Reader or the 'Documents' app I downloaded (which won't work).
Does anyone know how to open this word document?
I have downloaded the free version of Pages to see what it's like before I pay for it. Might this be the problem?
Any support is much appreciated.
Dave

Quit the Mail app and reset the iPad.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Can't open word documents in Pages since updating to Yosemite

Since updating my software to Yosemite I cannot open word documents in pages anymore. I can open these word documents in preview to at least look at them, but this is not very helpful.
Also, is anyone else experiencing a serious slow down. My Macbook is choking, and I wonder if there is anything that can be done to improve the speed.
Thanks in advance for any insight/ support you can offer!

Be sure you are saving your Word documents on the PC for a Word version supported by Office 2004 X. The latest version of Office for the PC uses a file format that is no longer compatible with older versions of Office.
PC attachments have icons that do not carry any information that Mac applications use to determine what application opens a document. Drag the document from the email application to the Desktop. Select the icon and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the section labeled 'Open with' select Word from the drop down menu, then click on the Change All button. This should associate all similar documents to the Word application on the Mac. Word documents on the Mac also use the '.doc' extension. If the transferred file does not have the '.doc' extension then it doesn't hurt to add one.

How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software.

How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software. I downloaded open office to my mac to try and save money. It worked well for a while. Now I get this pop-up message that asks me to "Reopen" and when I select the option, nothing happens. I cannot save my documents anymore and I cannot convert them to word. Help!

Does OpenOffice output Word documents by default or do you have to select it manually?
You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc files, yes it needs to be saved manually.
You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one. Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

Word Web App cannot open this document due to an unknown error. If the problem persists, try opening the file in Microsoft Word.

Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example,\ /).

I recently upgraded to a new Macbook Air running Lion, from my 2007 white Macbook running Snow Leopard. I had Office for Mac 2004 on the 2007, but had to upgrade to Office for Mac 2011 to be compatible with Lion on the Air. Now when I try to open my documents on the Air that were saved under Office 2004 on the old computer, I get the following message: Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example,\ /).
Any suggestions? Thank you.

Ha,ha,ha.....I figured it out. But for anyone else who's having this problem, it seems that while Office 2004 allowed dates in this format: 00/00/00, Office 2011 doesn't like it at all. I just changed the format in the document names to 00-00-00 and all is well. Documents are opening beautifully!
