Evolution has stoped associating doc files with open office

I've recently upgraded to open office 2.3 and since doing it evolution no longer gives me the option to open doc attachments, I only get the save option.
I'm running fluxbox and no gnome apps such as nautilus, how can I put the association back?

This looks like it could be the/an answer:

  • Associating .doc files with open office

    I have open office installed on my iMac. When I open an MS Word document using the basic File--->Open it opens it with no problem.
    However, when I click on it I get an error dialog that says the "script could not be run because.
    -43"
    How can I associate documents with open office?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    What version of OO are you using? Are you using some sort of OO launching script? Do you have the current version of X11 installed?
    I don't use OO rather I use NeoOffice Aqua because it doesn't require the use of X11.

  • Opening xls or doc file with MS Office sets user permissions to no access.

    We have a problem with MS Office and permissions. Basically, opening an MSOffice file removes that user's permissions, not just for that file, but for the entire fileserver. Going back to the server as Admin and resetting the permissions does not take effect immediately, but at some seemingly random point later that same day. The Win XP users also find themselves locked out of using the files sometimes, when one user opens the file the permissions seem to change to give that user ownership and others only Read Only access. I have not experienced this problem, but I do not use MS Office.
    We run a mixed PC and Mac office. We have a Mac miniserver with Snow Leopard Server. Client computers use Win XP, or OS X Leopard 10.5.8. Previously we were running the same clients from a G5 PowerMac running Tiger server. This also had problems with permissions changing themselves after opening MSOffice for Mac 2004 files, but nothing quite as bad as this.
    We also have had problems with MSOffice crashing when for some reason the sharepoints disconnected themselves.
    Any suggestions please? This is the kind of issue that will force a change away from Mac... sadly I will be in a minority if I cannot find a fix.
    TIA

    Further Info:
    We appear to have both oplock and Strict Locking enabled, as well as AFP and SMP in operation. Of these two protocols, we have to keep SMB so the PCs can access the files; AFP we could give up if necessary, although that makes connection times slow on the Macs.
    I read that if we enable both AFP and SMB our data could be corrupted, but it didn't say what would happen to file permissions, nor how we could prevent multiple users accessing the same file simultaneously if we switched the locking off.

  • Opening .doc files with wrong program

    Hi *,
    first I've installed open office. A few month later I installed micorsoft office. After that I converted all office files. Everything was working fine. Now my mac forgot to open .doc files with ms word, he chooses oo word. I do'nt have these problems with .xls files.
    Where are the global settings that I can tell my mac to open .doc files with ms word (I will not use "open with" each time;-)
    Thanks in advance

    Select the file. Do a "Get-Info" from the File menu. (command-I). In the drop down menu "open with" select the program and then confirm you want all files like these to open with that program.

  • Why can I no longer open .doc files with Word2011

    I can no longer open .doc files with Word 2011.  .docx files are not a problem.  Everything stops responding as soon as I try to open a .doc file and I have to do a manual reboot (by holding the power button down).  This seems to coincide with my update to Mavericks OSX.  I have Word version 14.3.9.
    A colleague of mine is having the exact same problem. 
    I tried repairing my disk permissions but this didn't help.
    Please advise.

  • How to associate 1997-2003 Word doc files with Word 2010?

    Hi
    I am surprised not to be able to find out how to associate word 1997-2003 Word files with Wrod 2010. The object is to have Word 2010 open the document when I click on the document. Many of my Word 1997-2003 documents were created using Word 2010.
    When I try to use the associations function in Windows 7 I cannot find the Word program. Checking "Properties" on the Word Icon leads to a program called "CVH.EXE" which does nothing when I try to open doc files with it.
    Thank you.

  • How to display the PPT, PDF, XL, DOC files with in the Windows store app?

    Hi,
    I would like to display the PPT, PDF, XL, DOC files with in the Windows store app? is there any controls provided by Microsoft to view these files with in the app?
    Or
    Any workaround to achieve the desired functionality?
    Kindly provide your inputs if any one has.
    Regards
    Prasad

    Hi Prasad,
    As I know currently there is no in-build functionality to display the PPT, XLS or DOC file directly on the Windows Store App, but you can always open these files by
    Launcher class
    However a good news is we can display PDF on Windows Store App by
    Windows.Data.Pdf class, see this for more information:

  • AOL mail doesn't send .doc-files with Firefox

    When using Firefox AOL Mail doesn't send .doc-files. Instead a corrupted file with a different size is sent. Any other file type works aswell as sending .doc-files with other browsers works...

    I'm getting a similar problem. Snow Leopard Mail for me seems to be choking on large attachments - sending them, forwarding them, or even moving them from one IMAP folder to another.
    My mails are getting through, but it takes a long time and they are dragging the whole system to a crawl in the process.

  • I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did).

    I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did). But I'd like to use iCloud with iPad.

    Hi Pete. The repair of disk permissions can help resolve  any application crashing or misbehaving.
    As for Lion and the two camps, I think that is a reasonable observation. In my office we have about a dozen Mac's and about one third of those Mac's had problems after updating from 10.6 to 10.7. The main problem for these Mac's was a loss of wifi stability. But for the other two-thirds, Lion was a smooth transition.
    Personally, my Lion experience was fine. But I did get a new i7 MacBook Pro with Lion already installed and only had to migrate my user data from a 10.6.8 TM backup.
    So I think that is a key for Lion's operational success. A clean install of Lion on a new Mac would not cause too many operational issues. But an installation, or more correctly, an update to Lion from SL increased the chances of failure for some users - especially when old software & plugins resided on the Mac. And I would say that they were the people that you saw at the Apple store.
    As for the "latest release of Lion fixed my problems" statement, my experience with these and other forums is that people mostly only go there to complain about the problems they are having. If they are having no problems then they either keep it to themselves or they try to help the users who are experiencing trouble...

    I have text documents in my email folders which I can't open. They are PDF files and Open Office documents. How do I open these documents?

    These are the "out of the box" file formats that you can view on the iPad as mail attachments. If the file is not listed here, you cannot view it without a compatible third party app. What is the file extension?
    Viewable document types: .jpg, .tiff, .gif (images); .doc and .docx (Microsoft Word); .htm and .html (web pages); .key (Keynote); .numbers (Numbers); .pages (Pages); .pdf (Preview and Adobe Acrobat); .ppt and .pptx (Microsoft PowerPoint); .txt (text); .rtf (rich text format); .vcf (contact information); .xls and .xlsx (Microsoft Excel)
