No docx/xlsx/pptx support in OFFI in Patch 12 (GUI 7.10 for Win)

SAP Note 1286878 has also been updated as of today (02/27/09), and for those using OFFI, support for Office 2007 xml documents (docx/xlsx/pptx) will not be available now until Patch 13 is released (Week 19?)
An FYI for those like myself, who are anxious in having this support

Hi Michael,
originally we had planned to introduce support for the new formats in patchlevel 12, but we figured out that the way we originally planned to introduce this support would have had some very severe drawbacks (including requiring changes to applications using Desktop Office Integration). Therefore we decided to search for a better solution. In the meantime we found a very good solution which works without changes to the applications and will come with patchlevel 13 of SAP GUI for Windows 7.10.
For those who urgently need support of .docx we will additionally provide an intermediate patch which is based on patchlevel 12 and will - in addition to the corrections from PL12 - only contain the extension required for using .docx in about 2 weeks. Please keep watching note 1286878 for more information on this.
Best regards,
Frank

Docx, xlsx, pptx files download as zip for some browser

Dear all,
I find that docx, xlsx, pptx files will download as zip for some browser.
Would like to know if it related to the MIME setting for portal, if it is where can I change the setting?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Bill

Hi Bill,
Technically, these files are zip files. However, in your case I assume the browser doesn't recognize the file type since NetWeaver hasn't provided a MIME type and therefore tries to be 'intelligent'...
Have a look at SAP note 1062725 (https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1062725) this might solve your issue
Cheers,

Upload docx, xlsx or pptx crashes IE11 on server 2012r2

On a server 2012r2 RDS, as a normal user uploading docx, xlsx or pptx to any site casues Internet explorer 11 to crash with error: "Internet Explorer has stopped working" with this error in event viewer:

The strange thing is that any other filetype works. If I rename the pptx file to ppt it wil upload. Also this works with Administrator rights. i have not been able to find anyone else with this problem.

Hello lordxorg,
Do you mean that the Internet Explorer in Windows server 2012 R2 can’t upload the docx, xlsx, pptx file?
Based on my test, I can normally upload the docx file in the Windows server 2012 R2 Internet Explorer 11.
Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Try to reset Internet Explorer and check if the issue still exists
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737
2. Use the system file checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
For more information, please take a look at the following article about how to repair or reinstall Internet Explorer in Windows.

GOS - Cannot open .docx/.xlsx file programmatically attached to business object

I am supporting an existing web dynpro application that allows users to attach files to a purchase requsition in SAP. The current solution allows for a successful attachment and display of .doc and .xls files, but gives an error when displaying .docx and .xlsx files.
The current solution follows this logic: The code identifies the MIME type of the file to derive the file extension. Then, it converts the document contents from a xstring type to binary via function SCMS_EXTRING_TO_BINARY. After the conversion, it creates an initial instance of BO 'MESSAGE' and populates the message container with the required parameters. It creates the container, refreshes the message object, and gets the key of the new message object. Then, the code populates the BO object_a and object_b and calls the method   cl_binary_relation=>create_link to attach the file. Lastly, a commit work statement is executed. Based on the code samples I have seen online, this solution is logically correct.
I am able to successfully attach .doc and .xls files from this web dynpro application, and then later open them from ME53N. I am also able to "successfully" attach .docx and .xlsx files from the application. If I view the attachment list in ME53N, these files are visible. However, when I attempt to open the attachments, Word/Excel gives me an error message "The file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. The file is corrupt and cannot be opened." If I click OK to bypass the error, it gives an additional prompt "Word found unreadable content in document. Do you want to recover the contents of this document? If you trust the source of this document, click yes." If I click yes, the document opens.
.docx / .xlsx files attached via ME52N will open without issue
.doc / .xls files attached programmatically via this web application open without issue
these are the MIME types associated with .docx / .xlsx both in the web application and in SAP configuration:
.docx:   application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document
.xlsx:    application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet
Does anyone have an idea why the newer document versions appear to be corrupt when opening? Does the error from Word imply there is a data conversion issue, even though the .doc and .xls documents are readable? Are the .docx/.xlsx file types unusable with the   cl_binary_relation=>create_link method, and should instead be used with the function 'BINARY_RELATION_CREATE'?
Any help is greatly appreicated. Thanks in advance!

I replied too quickly. This change in providing the file size DID help when I was attaching .docx files. They open succesfully now, as well as, .doc and .xls files.
However, I'm still having the same issue when I try attaching .xlsx files. Furthermore, now .txt files do not display correctly. Before passing the file size correctly, they were displaying in notepad. Now, they open in the SAP GUI and only show characters, rather then the actual text.
It seems like this file size typo was just a coincidence for .docx files. I'm still looking for help on this issue. Thanks in advance.

DMS file opening problem for docx & xlsx files.

Hi All,
while opening docx & xlsx files data is getting truncated when they are transmited as external attachments from SRM with ERP PO mail through DMS.
I feel there should be some problem with DMS itself as file format doc, xls are opening correctly as they were mapped with work station type DOC & XLS.
Need your iputs to rectify the problem.
Thanks,
Ramakrishna

Hi Ramakrishna,
Kindly maintain the settings in SPRO->Document Management->General Data->Define Workstation Application (DC30).
For XLS application define file format as *.xlsx and DOC application maintain file format as *docx.
Hope this might resolve ur issue.
Regards
Bhanu

Work with office file (.docx, .xlsx)

Hi!
How can I open/create/save/change any word file? Can I use some library or must write myself?
I known that docx file is archive with xml documents, but how I can change, for ex., some paragraph/text/etc.?
Thanks!

There are no native controls for working with docx files in Windows Store APIs. You may be able to find a third-party control that does this.

S205 :Sad with Lenovo Driver support for Win 8

Sorry for my bad english, but I need to tell you my frustrating experience.
Due to low cost new windows 8 OS 64bit, I buy a lincense for mine Lenovo S205, conforted with some new Driver updated for 8 on Lenovo site.
I saw something strange in the Driver's page for ex. the wireless driver is called Cybertan\LiteOn and we have a Ralink RT 3090 wifi module.(or in some market Atheros AR9285)... Hummm realy strange.
I cross my fingers, I pray god and I start downloadin ALL the driver and start upgrading my system.
At restart I have my new Win8 64bit system and thank of god the most important driver (Ralink wifi) was autodetected and recognized by Win8 whitout install the strange Cybertan\LiteOn from Lenovo that doubt was working in a ralink device.
But at this point strarts the big issues with the unrecognized devices, that tahnks of god were less than expected but drivers fron Lenovo site were all wrong !!!!! Yes wrong, it seems a joke but was the true,
I think,(to tell the true I'm sure) no one from Lenovo tech checked the drivers in a S205 models, and I can explain why with the above sad experience:
- SOUND: windows only install generic HD drivers and the sound quality as expected was crappy. So I try the lenovo driver Conexant but it does not properly work, SmatAudio icon in the ControlPannel was not present, no conexant pannel to manage sound, and nothing changed, windows continue with is own generym Microsoft HD drivers. I remeber that Lenovo model U300S and U300E have the same soundcard I dowload their Conexant Win8 driver (with a different number so I hope it was teh latest) and my idea was great, the Conexant U300 driver works on my S205 lenovo and Win8 detect the conexant soundcard and SmartAudio is present and working. There is only a isse concerning SRS Sound that is present on my system but if I try to lounch nothing appens, so I think is not correctly working. But so far so god sound is better than before with generic MS drivers, but to do so I have to choose a different driver from a different Lenovo pc, not an easy step for a normal user.
- OSD: on screen display (FN+F keys) in 7 they was insert in the Lenovo Energy Mnagement, so to works you need to instal it. I make the same in win 8 with the new Lenovo Energy Management provides by Lenovo site, Lenovo Energy Management is working but OSD no !!!!
Windows 8 detect and show you in autonomy soud level and brightnes when you press FN+Arrow keys ant that are the most important but ALL the FN+F Keys are not showed on screen even if probably they are working (for ex. Fn+F6 correctly enabel1disable touchpad) but not icon showen on screen !! Well I can leave without OSD but once again seems Lenovo don't try EnergyManagement on a Win8 pc.
- CARD READER: Windows detect and unknow device called USB CRW and I though correctly was the card reader, in fact I try a sd and win8 was not able to read it. So I install the Realtek CardReader downloaded from Lenovo site, It was extracted and installed but I don't know why the driver seems bugged, the pattern contains only some icon but not exe ord driver, in fact the Card reader even if I try the driver more times it was not decetced. I tryed the old Windows 7 driver for my S205 and thank of god it was working and now my cardreader is detected and working. Once angain the win8 driver provided by Lenovo fails and I need the oldest win 7 driver that maks the job.
- TOUCHPAD: Synaptics touchpad was detected by windows 8 but all the basic features as the scrolling or 2 fingers was not working. So I try the Synaptics drivers provided by Lenovo and it was only for 32bit system even if is clearly showed as 32 and 64bit driver. The driver itself promp me that is not working on a 64bit system and i need to contact the producer :-(
Hahahaha very hilarious so I have to download the driver from Synaptics server that is so slow that I need 2 hours to finaly have my touchpad driver. Once again an epic fail from lenovo site.
CONCLUSION: Lenovo is the new n.1 pc producer in the world but it seems realy not professional when check his drivers and public it on the website. Could be s205 is the cheapest and not business line notebook but ... I am realy sad whit the way Lenovo put new drivers without any preventive control in the homesite driver's page.
It seems it was a lottery, extracting a number and put the corresponding driver on the S205 drivers page :-(
Sir this is not the good behaviour, is the bast way to loose users !!!! Very disappointed, very sad and I hope this post can help S205 users taht want use the new Windows 8 system to catch the correct solutions
I hope too some Lenovo developers can read this, try win8 on a s205 notebook and solve all the problems, because even if I solve with my 20 years pc experience all the issue, still remais some problems as SRS Sound seems not working (if It can work on our system, but if it can't why put in on our s205 driver too) and no OSD for every FN keys working.
There are not present some utility for win 8 as for example the CAPSLOCK keys utility that was present for 7 but not for 8 (I have to try if the older work on 8) or the Lenovo OneKey that seems not ready for 8..
So far so good winodws 8 works great on S205 and is a good choice if you catch the correct drivers as I explain here.
Hoping this help Lenovo not making the same mistakes in the future, and learn from their errors.
Once angain sorry for my language mistake but I'm not English
Hore this post can help in some case
Bye

Hi Romagnolo1973!
Thank you for posting all the things you learned, and how you got your S205 working with Windows 8! Hopefully this will help others.
To be fair to Lenovo, they list Windows 8 as not supported on the S205.

As you found, it is sometimes possible to work around the problems and get things working to your satisfaction!
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

My USB charger is not supporting while i am connecting from PC to iPad for charging (showing as " Not Charging"), Kindly advice me

Hi Folks,
I have tried most of what have been said here ( thank you for the great Job) but unforunatally it didn't solve the issue.
However, now the "Not Charging" message in the right corner disappeared and my iPad is charging normally from my laptop.
The reason behind that is using the USB3.0 port in my Dell inspiron N5110. Earlier, I was using the USB 2.0 ports and that is why it was showing that message but as sooon as I pluged it in the eSATA USB 3.0 port , the message disapeared and the iPad started charging normally.
So don't waste ur time here and there try to plug it to USB 3.0 port and it will works, Insha ALLAH.
Cheers

Why do iPhones/iPad not support Flash Player/Java and what are my alternatives for browsing sites using these plug-ins?

Why do iPhones/iPad not support Flash Player/Java and what are my alternatives for browsing sites using these plug-ins?

There are also iSwifter, Photon, Skyfire, etc., some only support Flash some support Java and Flash.
Adobe never made a version of Flash for iOS and closed their mobile flash division a couple of years ago. You can get Flash on other personal devices but you will be using a 2 year old version that has not been patched for security vulnerabilities.
When the original iPhone was released Mr. Jobs said it would never run Java as it was old technology and a security risk. Nothing has changed since.

There are no icons displayed if a document (.docx,xlsx or pptx) is within a document set

Hi
I am using SharePoint 2013 SP1 with the September 2014 CU.
If I search for documents in document libraries, they work fine and in the search results I get the Icon to the left of the text showing what type of file it is and the refiner panel shows the different filetypes are returned.
However, if the document is within a document set which itself is inside a document library, then there are no "filetype" refiners shown and the icon to the left of the text of the search result is not there.
Have I misconfigured somnething ?
Regards

Hi，
According to your description, There are no icons displayed if a document is within a document set.
For your issue, make sure you have made the Type column displayed in the library.
Go to Library->Modify View->make sure the Type column has been selected:

Why are my received file attachments (Office files such as .doc, .docx, .xlsx but also pdf files) corrupted - so that I cannot open them?

For the last month, 90% of the file attachments that I receive by email will not open on my MacBook Pro (2009, running Mac OS 10.7.5). I get assorted messages, but generally saying that the file is corrupt, or the filename contains unacceptable characters. The problem has been generally with Word files (.doc and .docx)], Excel files (.xls and .xlsx) and pdf files.
The bit that I don't understand is that I can open the same email attachments (without any problem) when downloaded on my iMac. And I have recently found that colleagues who received the same emails can open them, and can transfer the files to me (usually by USB stick) … and then I can open them. But I still cannot open the same files received as email attachments on my MacBook Pro.
Which makes me think that the files (email attachments) are somehow being corrupted as they are downloaded?
I installed the Mac OS X Update Combined 10.7.5 in July, so perhaps this was when the problem started? And, although it may be unrelated, around the same time as this problem started, I transferred some files from a colleague's computer on a USB stick and found that the USB stick had picked up a virus/malware, which meant that the stick was dead, and I had to reformat the stick. I scanned my computer (using ClamXav, with the latest updates) and quarantined a file found on the USB stick and on my computer.
Any thoughts on why this might happen, and what I can do to sort it out (as it is making work very difficult - I travel a lot, and rely on being able to open and read files sent from countries all over the world, often by people using old versions of Office software)? I have never had problems in the past, and can't understand why my other computer, and my colleagues, can all open these files, but my laptop will not! Many thanks for any help!

I opened one of the PDF files in notepad and these are the first couple lines:
