Got errors when trying to open word document with Office Web App Server and customized WOPI host

I am configuring the Office Web App Server with our ASP.NET MVC WOPI host based on this example. https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office/Building-an-Office-Web-f98650d6. While both the OWA server and WOPI server has been set up and I can use Excel and PowerPoint
app to open and edit xls and ppt file now, there are problems opening word documents no matter I enable or disable the editing function of OWA server.
When I open a word document while enabling editing I got this error:
If I disable editing I got this message:
I have tried several file so I thought it is not the files' problem. Also I didn't find any exception in the log of OWA server.

Hi Gary Jiang,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
This forum is for developers discussing issues about
apps for Office.
Based on the description, it seems that you got an issue when you deploy the code sample. If I understood clearly, I suggest that you contact the author of the code sample from the "Q and A" tab.
Also if you have the question about WOPI, I suggest that you get more effective response from
Office
Protocols forum.

Exchange 2013 OWA published through TMG: Unable to preview documents with Office Web App server

We configured our Exchange 2013 servers to use Office Web App for document previews on OWA. Everything works fine internally, and externally also when we access OWA directly. But when from an outside network we open a OWA session through TMG and try to preview
a document, we get the error "Sorry we cannot open this document, an error occured . . ."
Did anyone experience such an issue ?
Thanks,
Antonio

Hello,
Since directing accessing OWA from CAS is fine and the issue only occur when involving TMG, I think the issue is more related to TMG settings. Please find more efficient support

Open Documents with Office Web App - SharePoint 2013

We have configured Office Web App for our SharePoint 2013 Farm and in Site settings, Site Collection Features, have disabled "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" . Out of 15 sites, all documents in 13 sites open in Office
Web App. One of the 2 sites where the document still open using Client Application is a Wiki site.
Advanced propertied for the libraries settings has been set to "Use the server default (Open in the browser)". Anything else to check to open documents in Office Web App?
Thanks

Hi,
As I understand, you encountered the issue when you want to open documents with Office Web App.
Check things below:
1. In the library setting->advanced setting, you can choose the open in the browser to see if the same situation will occur.
2. Check if you have not enable the Open Documents in Client Applications by Default feature.
If you choose Activate to enable the Open in Client feature (documents will open in the client application), or
Deactivate to disable the Open in Client feature (documents will open in the browser).
You can go to Site setting->site collection administration->site collection feature->Open
Documents in Client Applications by Default to set the feature.
The article below is about how to set the default open behavior for browser-enabled documents.

Open links to documents with Office Web Apps

Hi,
I am trying to configure SharePoint 2013 and Office Web Apps Server 2013 in a Multi Tenant environment for a client that has specific requirements when it comes to document handling.
They have a number of document libraries where the majority of their user base will only be able to view the documents it contains using the Office Web Apps Viewer and not be able to download it or access it using the local client (Their SharePoint Group
membership has View Only Permission on the Site). We see exactly this behaviour when the documents are accessed from within the Document Library App or associated Web Part but not if the documents are linked to from elsewhere within the Site, e.g. The
library in question is being used to store newsletters and they want to be able to insert links to the latest newsletter in an Announcement or Newsfeed item. As it stands these links present the user with an access request page or with Read permissions on
their SharePoint Group a browser download dialog.
My initial searches have so far brought up a suggestion to
doing the reverse in search which might be promising and updating workflows to modify the url provided in an email to the appropriate wopi url which in my mind suggests a user manual. Something that would work automatically on at least the
Site, better Site Collection or ideally Site Subscription level is what I am looking for as our clients users are far from technically minded and a lookup table of file extensions and how to construct the url is out of the question.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice provided.

Error when trying to open Mac file with Captivate 6 Win

I've tried opening Captivate 6 files (.cptx/.cptl) that were created on the Mac version with Captivate 6 on Win7. Got the error message "can't open file" telling me to check the file and my resources. Resources are ok, the file was sent via email.
How can I set up a workflow for Captivate 6 between Mac and PC users that works? The discussion to Win files crashing Captivate Mac didn't help as there's no solution posted. Are there any issues concerning the compatibility of Mac and Win files within Captivate 6?
Any help is very much appreciated a we've got a deadline looming.

Getting Error 404 when trying to open php documents in DW CS3 Test server

I am new to DW, php, MySQL and Apache. I have set up a test
environment but obviously have done something wrong. I currently
create my web pages from scratch in notepad and update my site with
a GUI FTP program, but I know with these new tools, I will
eventually be able to create the type of web site that I really
want and need. Every time I try to open any php document in DW CS3
using the"Preview/Debug in browser" button I get an error 404. The
browsers I use are ie7.0.5730.11 and Nav 9.0b2 . I know this may
not even be a DW issue, but I really am at an impasse. Any help
would be much appreciated.

It sounds as though you need to be taken through this process
step by
step. Even though you say you defined a testing server, the
fact that
you didn't have your documents in the server's document root
suggests
your site definition might also be wrong.
First things first. Since you're new to Apache, what happens
when you
type
http://localhost/ into your browser
address bar? Depending on the
version of Apache, you should get an Apache test page or
simply a page
that says "It works!". If you get neither, it means Apache is
either not
running or that it has been incorrectly installed.
Assuming Apache is working, have you installed PHP? If so,
put the
following code into a blank file (there must be no HTML or
DOCTYPE -
just the following line):
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Save the file as test.php in the Apache document root. Then
type
http://localhost/test.php into
your browser address bar. If you see a
page with masses of detail about your PHP configuration, PHP
is working.
You can then move to the final stage. Create a new folder
inside the
Apache document root. This is where you should store your
site. If you
call it "mysite", these are the settings you need in the
Testing server
definition:
Testing server folder: /path/to/htdocs/mysite/
URL prefix:
http://localhost/mysite/
Don't take "/path/to/htdocs/mysite/" literally. It indicates
the
location of htdocs/mysite on your local hard drive. Use the
folder icon
to the right of the Testing server folder field to navigate
to it.
If you're new to PHP, you might find that my book, "The
Essential Guide
to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and PHP" answers a lot of
your
questions. It covers all the Dreamweaver PHP server behaviors
in detail,
as well as teaching the basics of PHP and database
maintenance. You can
find more details by following the link in my sig.

Text frames not supported and images can't be imported when trying to open word document, can this be fixed?

trying to open a word document in pages, no images, diagram r tables are seen, states problems are text frames not supported and that images can not be imported. the document opens fine in mircosoft office. can this be fixed or do i need to buy microsoft office for the imac, thanks andrea

Pages isn't a perfect converter of Word documents. They are differently coded. Some documents opens well but some don't.
You could try opening the document in LibreOffice, a free clone of MS Office.

Time out when trying to open Word/Excel document from portal

Several of our users have been timing out when trying to open/download documents stored in our portal.
The error message is "Download failed. Connection to server was reset."

It happens with things as small as 200K - Word and Excel documents.

"An error occurred sending the command to the application" When trying to open excel document from outlook 2007

Error message "An error occurred sending the command to the application" When trying to open excel document from outlook 2007.
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2
If I save the document then it opens fine, messing with default file associations does not resolve this problem, I've googled for ir it and some suggest unticking compatibility mode or "run as admin" for excel application, neither is selected in my case.
Outlook is configured to run as remote application from remoteApp server, this error is only occurring for one user, for others excel documents open just fine.

Hi
Thank you for using
Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
From your description, we can Create a trusted location follow these steps
Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Excel Options.
Click Trust Center, click Trust Center Settings, and then click
Trusted Locations.
If you want to create a trusted location that is not local to your computer, select the Allow trusted locations on my network (not recommended) check
box.
Click Add new location.
IMPORTANT We recommended that you don't make your entire
Documents or My Documents folder a trusted location. Doing so creates a larger target for a hacker to potentially exploit and increases your security risk. Create a subfolder within Documents or My Documents, and make only that folder a trusted location.
In the Path box, type the name of the folder that you want to use as a trusted location, or click Browse to
locate the folder.
If you want to include subfolders as trusted locations, select the
Subfolders of this location are also trusted check box.
In the Description box, type what you want to describe the purpose of the trusted location.
Click OK.

On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document created from MAC

Hi all,
On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document in INDD format created from Mac. Error received "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by other application". I am currently using Adobe Indesign CC 9.2 Trial version.
Kindly advise how can i open this document on windows platform and allows me to edit the document.
Thanks!
With Rgds,
Fiona Choy

Normally there is no problem to open any INDD opening on Windows, when created on the Mac.
But Mac user are often not aware on the naming limitations. A file name must not contain /, \, |, :
It should not contain any extended character, it is not a primary problem but will be, if something links to that file, so avoid also: ÄÖÜäöüß+&
You can use all other non A-Z a-z, 0-9 and - and _
I personally would also recommend to avoid spaces.
This is valid for the INDD file itself but also for all linked content.

Having the same problem in CS6. I can tell you that converting back to CS4 will NOT solve the problem. It seems when support for backward compatibility is discontinued, there's just no way to get
any help at all? Absolute failure to provide any user support so far...

I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read"

I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read". I am able to open pdf files in IE and other programs.

I am encountering the same problem -- though with .qfx files from my bank. This worked fine in Firefox 31 ESR, but since upgrading to Firefox 33.0, I get the "<name>.qfx.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" when I attempt to download. (I should add that downloading PDF statements from the same site works fine, and that the qfx downloads work fine in IE and Chrome.)
I tried safe mode, it is still broken. Tried v34 beta, no luck. I reverted to version 31, it works again.
I guess I will stick with the older version until a solution is found...or just use an alternate browser to download my financial data.
