Cannot preview office attachements in Outlook 2010

I just installed Office 2010 Home & Student and Outlook 2010.  But I cannot preview any Office files in Outlook.  It says "This file cannot be previewed because there is no previewer installed for it".  PDF attachments preview just fine.
When I go to Trust Center settings and view "Attachment and Document Previewers...", I don't see anything specifically related to office in there.

Hi,
From your description , I understand that you cannot be previewed any Office files in Outlook  because there is no previewer installed for it.
So based on your current situation,  I would like to recommend you uninstall your Office 2010 and Outlook 2010 completely use the KB article link.
How do I uninstall Office 2003, Office 2007 or Office 2010 suites if I cannot uninstall it from Control Panel?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
then reinstall your Outlook 2010 separately.
Sincerely,
Harry

  • Can´t open pdf attachment in Outlook 2010 after inst. Reader X

    Hi!
    Today I updated Reader from 9 to 10.1.2 - I did not face any problems with the installation.
    But now I can not open any pdf attachment in Outlook 2010 (Reader opens and closes immediately) if Reader X is not running.
    When the Reader is allready running I can open the files without problems.
    When I save the file on my desctop I can also open it - also if reader is not allready running.
    I un- and reinstalled the reader fiew times, also tried the repair tool - nothing helped.
    I receive a lot of pdf Files - any help would be great.

    Did you try this?  It worked for me.
    http://www.darrenstraight.com/blog/2010/12/16/adobe-reader-x-there-was-an-error-opening-th is-document-access-denied/
    Open up Adobe Reader X
    On the Toolbar Menu go to Edit > Preferences
    Go to the general tab under Categories.
    Untick “Enable Protected Mode at Startup”
    If asked if sure, click Yes and then Ok.
    Now close Adobe Reader X and try opening the PDF again.

  • How do you preview .dxf files in Outlook 2010?

    Is there something I can install that will allow me to preview .dxf files in my preview plane for Outlook 2010?

    Hi,
    Attachment previewers that come with the Microsoft Office system only allow you to preview the following files in Outlook:
    Outlook/Word/PowerPoint/Excel/Visio documations, Images and text files
    Third-party software vendors may provide their own previewers that support additional attachment file types.
    So for your case (to preview .dxf file in Outlook), please try to check with the vendor of the product that your using and see if they have an existing previewer for their product.

  • Previewer not working in Outlook 2010

    I have a windows xp machine that is unable to preview pdf files in outlook.  I get the error adobe pdf previewer failed to start.  I can prefiew other files like excel and word documents.  and when other users log onto the machine they have the same problem.  The computer used to run Office 2007 but I upgraded to Office 2010 and it still has the same issue.  I have uninstalled adobe and reinstalled from the web site and still the same problem.

    Have you opened Reader by itself and accepted the End User License Agreement?

  • Cannot open .wav files from Outlook 2010 (beta)

    This file the error message i get:
    This file cannot be previewed because of an error with the following previewer:
    windows media player rich preview handler.....

    Hi,
    First, try to start Outlook in safe mode to see if it works fine.
    If it works fine in safe mode, disable the add-ins you have in  File > Options > Add-ins.
    Second, try to clear out the Outlook Temporary items.
    1. Locate the Outlook Temporary Items folder by opening the Registry and
    locating
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security\OutlookSecureTempFolder
    2. Navigate to the value of this Key. It should be something like:
    %USERPROFILE%\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\
    3. Quit Outlook
    4. Delete the contents of the folder
    5. Launch Outlook
    Hope it helps.
    Had this same problem.  End of key was like "CK2219B0\".  Deleted this small portion, saved registry, and restarted Outlook.  .wav files executing fine now!  Musta been some kind of update glitch cause it worked up to a day or
    so back and then I had this problem.  Thanks!!!

  • Cannot print .pdf attachments in Outlook 2010 on local usb printer using the lastest Adobe Reader

    We can't print pdf attachments from Outlook 2010 on a users local printer via usb with the latest Adobe Reader but it can print to a network copier. We can print from the local printer emails, webpages, regular pdf's on the hard drive.
    Please advise and thanks.

    What is the behavior that you are seeing? Are you getting some error or is it simply failing to print with Reader 10.1.2.
    casper milktoast wrote:
    Update 2-7-12
    When doing a quick print with a right click on the pdf attachment, it will print.
    Also, please let me know that if a simple Right Click > Print operation is working, then what exactly is the operation that is failing.

  • "changes to the public group membership cannot be saved" error from Outlook 2010 users, but no problem with Outlook 2003.

    We have the exact same issue as this but our groups are already universal security group and we still have problem:

    The distribution-groups were upgraded to Exchange 2010.  User A can update the group from Outlook 2003 or OWA 2010 but not from Outlook 2010.  Anyone know the solution?
    thanks

    Hi lilyl,
    For this issue, please refer to this document:
    How to Manage Groups that I already own in Exchange 2010?
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2009/11/18/3408844.aspx
    So what does the "Changes to the distribution list membership cannot be saved. You do not have sufficient permission to perform
    this operation on this object." error mean, when you are connecting to an Exchange 2010 server?
    It means Exchange 2010 is doing its job - as designed...
    Thanks,

  • Cannot receive e-mails on Outlook 2010

    I cannot receive any e-mails on my Outlook 2010

    Any ideas what to do?
    Thanks

    Make sure you have the correct settings

    Password: Your BT email password.
    Log on using clear text authentication
    Out Going Server in requires Authentication (Use same as incoming mail server. Some users have found that they need to enter the password and username instead of ticking box “use same as incoming mail server” )

  • Bypass Proxy for Local Addresses - Office 365 connection/ Outlook 2010

    This is a strange one.  Connectivity to Office 365 within our netwotk works fine although very slow for outlook 2010 client to initially connect. Once connected, it works ok.  I have done a netwotk trace using netmon to see if i can identify
    the reason for the slow startup (2 mins minumum for profile to load and for outlook to connect to exchange). The trace tell me that my local pc tries to make a direct connection to the office365 external IPs first, then tries the TMG proxy. Once it hits the
    proxy, it kicks into life and works.
    So it looks to me like it thinks the external IP address of office 365 is an internal address and spends it time trying all the ip addresses until it trys the proxy.  At this point, the
    Bypass Proxy Server for Local Addresses is ticked.
    As soon as i untick this box, all traffic heads directly to the proxy and of course it connects like lighting.  The exchange settings proxy is set in outlook for "on fast networks, connect using HTTP first, then connect using TCP/IP" (tick
    is on) and the same for slow networks.
    I cant for the life of me work out why it tries to connect directly to the external IPs first and not connect via TMG until i untick the
    Bypass Proxy Server for Local Addresses
    Would love any ideas that may assist.

    We have been in discussions with Microsoft over the last few days on this issue - which is seen with Outlook 2007 versions onwards.  Extract from resolution communication from Microsoft:
    The issue you have raised is known as it has been reported and when you have a proxy set in Internet Explorer and “Bypass proxy settings for local addresses”, Outlook will attempt to connect to Office 365 directly – like the bypass rule would apply.
    Because the direct connection is blocked in the Firewall, Outlook needs to have the connections going in Timeout before attempting to connect using the Proxy.
    Your network trace proves the issue.
    Microsoft have scheduled a fix for Outlook 2010 in February 2014 cumulative update. A fix for Outlook 2013 will also follow, but Outlook 2007 will not be addressed because it is in Extended Support.
    There are two possible workarounds for this behaviour:
    First, and I wouldn’t recommend it, is to allow Direct traffic through the Firewall to Office 365.
    The advantage of this approach is that it will be done centralized and it will impact everyone immediately.
    Information about the O365 IP addresses
    There are two downsides to this behaviour:
    1.  First you need to maintain the Firewall exceptions as IP from O365 server can change without notice
    2.  Second, winhttp traffic may go through both proxy and direct and this can cause unforeseen behaviour.
    The second approach is to use a proxy pac instead of manually setting in the proxy and the exceptions.
    The advantage is that you will have centralized method to control how winhttp traffic goes and the issue will not be experienced anymore.
    If a single pac does not be fit, you can configure proxy pac files for each site requirements and use an IIS server to store it.

  • Cannot add gmail accounts to outlook 2010

    Having a problem adding my gmail accounts to outlook 2010. Also office 365 account to outlook 2010. I downloaded the server settings, tried every combination and still no results. For gmail outgoing mail using Imap SSL 465 encrypted, Incoming using Imap
    SSL 993. Also tried TLS 587. For office 365 the same combo's. No results.

    Hi,
    I understand the issue now is that you can't add accounts to your Outlook 2010, since in the description it is not mentioned, I want to know the symptom a bit more, is there any error message?
    You can also provide some screenshots of the issue, send them to our email address so that I can check and determine what may cause this issue:

  • Outlook 2013 cannot preview Office dcouments

    Win8.1/64 bit/Office 365/Outlook 2013
    It was all working fine then one day it stopped opening Office docs altogether.  Another forum had a work around to fix that, but I have not found a fix for the previewer.  I get the message "This file cannot be previewed because there is
     no previewer installed for it. 
    Previewer is installed as per the Trust Center Attachment Handling link.  However in another forum, I found a response that caused me to look at the Registration Keys - and there, at HKEY_CURRENT_USERS\Software\Microsoft\Office\Previewers there are
    only three entries, PDF, TXT, and Zip - the only three file types I can preview. 
    Any thought how to get the other previewer reg keys installed? 

    Hi,
    Are you using the same version of Outlook and other Office programs?
    The registry key you mentioned will be added when you preview a non-Office file. When you preview an Office document, it won't add a key under the path.
    Please first try to run a repair of your Office installation to see the result. See:

  • Frozen out menu ribbon in Word 2013 and cannot preview word documents in Outlook 2013

    I seem to be having a recurring problem with Word 2013 from Office Home Edition single user. When I try to put a caption on a table, the entire document page layout changes from portrait to something close to landscape and then the entire menu ribbon freezes
    out. I usually have to save the file, close and reopen using the open and repair feature as the document only opens in read only after this incidence happens. Since the first time I experienced this in early July, I haven't been able to preview Word files
    in office outlook 2013 and the protected mode feature hasn't worked since then either.
    Can I get some help with this please? I reinstalled, did online fixing and tried a few other fixes to no avail. Could it have started as a result of my installing a trial version of Office Visio which comes as a totally different package from my Home edition?
    Thank you

    ... When I try to put a caption on a table, the entire ...
    Is this the only action that will result in the issue? Does this happen to any Word documents?
    The first thing that I'd suggest you to do is to install any available updates to your system and Office installation, and then verify result.
    Then, please check if you have any add-ins integrated with your Word 2013 (please note that some programs might install add-ins automatically), try in safe mode and see if issue was caused by some add-in conflicts:

  • Rundll32 error when opening a PDF attachment from Outlook 2010

    The computer is a 32 bit Win7.  Outlook is 2010 for business.  Everything was working fine until 4 days ago.  Now have to save the pdf to the desktop and open it from there. 
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    The rundll32 error seems to have disappeared.  Until this morning I had both this error and the rundll32.  All other types of docs open fine.  This one will open if saved to the desktop first, but not from Outlook.
