Office Docs and Excel files mysteriously converting to tmp files
I experienced this twice this month with two different customers. What happens is certain folders with excell and word docs will be moved inside other folders and the files will be gone only some random character file.tmp (
54F81A6B.tmp) The first incident happend on a synology diskstation DS213 Shared Drive where the only fix was to reset the Diskstation and restore from backup. The second incident was on a Windows Home server share. Both computers
are windows 7 pro 64 with office 2013. Im starting to think this is a bug with office 2013. I scanned for viruses and none found. Where do i start to resolve this?
Hi,
Did the issue only occur with the Office files? Do you install some sync software?
I recommend we try to install the Office 2013 SP1.
Next, as far as I know, the Office temp file will display when we open it or use it. We may try to use
Process Monitor to collect which program open/block the Office threads during you copying/pasting.

My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them from an email. Downloading them and opening them doesn't help. How do I make this stop? I don't use iLife and don't want to; my clients are using Office and it's easier for me, except when I have to copy and paste everything they send me from an iLife file back to Word and Excel. Help!!! It's like Apple has become Microsoft, forcing us to use their apps.
Do you have Word & Excel installed, if yes, navigate in the finder to an example of each, right click and select 'Get Info' scroll down to 'Open With' and select the appropriate program, check the box that says 'Change All'

Telefax-+917312361546I should further say the files I sent are .xlsx and .docx files. They look fine my end and I send such files all the time without problems.
However, I did try to cheat by going in via the Safari onto my 'live' online email account and the Safari automatically transfers them to winmail.dat files with the same result.
Ahh - have just been on using my PC this time and you are right, it seems that the service provider does the transfer and then when my outlook opens the file (on the PC), it must reconvert to .xlsx etc again.
Very strange.
Ergo, I guess the question should be how I open wimail.dat files ?? -
How to save .pdf file using office word and excel
Can someone help me how to save .pdf files using office word and excel? I reinstalled my adobe 7.0 pro in my new pc and before I was able to do it but with my old pc.
For anything after Office 2003, you have to print to the Adobe PDF printer. If you installed AA 7 on OS newer than XP, you may have to do a workaround to get it to work. With later versions of WORD you can always use the MS plugin for creating PDFs.

SUMMARY
Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a
.chm file (and the Baggage Files) only work intermittently. The
only solution appears to be deleting the Temporary Internet Files.
PROBLEM
1. I place the XLS, DOC, or PDF file in the Windows
sub-directory that corresponds to the RoboHelp project sub-folder
where the topic in which I’ll place the hyperlink exists.
2. I open the help project in RoboHelp HTML.
3. I right-click on the project’s Baggage Files
sub-folder that corresponds to the Windows sub-directory in which I
placed the XLS, DOC, or PDF file (in step 1).
4. I import the XLS, DOC, or PDF file.
5. I open the topic in which I’m going to place the
hyperlink in the WYSIWYG editor.
6. I “drag and drop” the Baggage File into the
topic (in the WYSIWYG editor) to create a link to it.
7. I save the changes and then generate HTML (.chm) help.
8. I open the .chm file and click the hyperlink. The XLS,
DOC, or PDF file may or may not open.
9. When the hyperlink works correctly, for DOC and XLS files,
a “File Download – Security Warning” dialog box
appears asking, “Do you want to open or save this
file?”. The buttons that are available are
“Open”, “Save”, and “Cancel”.
These buttons work then as one would expect. (When the hyperlink
works correctly for a PDF file, it simply opens the PDF file in a
new window; there’s no prompt to save, open, or cancel.)
10. When a hyperlink does NOT work, for DOC, XLS, and PDF
files, no dialog box or other visual message is displayed. Instead,
the sound that is associated with the “Exclamation”
program event is played (the “Windows XP
Exclamation.wav” file is the WinXP default).
Other Notes:
- The hyperlinks ALWAYS work when I view a topic using the
“View Selected Item” function (Ctrl+W) in the RoboHelp
HTML project.
- Once a hyperlink stops working, it will not start working
again until I delete all the Temporary Internet Files.
- A hyperlink will stop working even if Internet Explorer
(iexplore.exe) is closed the entire time.
WORKAROUND
Through trial and error, I have discovered that if a
hyperlink stops working, I can get it to work again using the
following steps:
1. Leave the .chm file open.
2. Open Internet Explorer.
3. Click Tools>Internet Options….
4. From the “Internet Options” dialog box, select
the “General” tab.
5. Under the “Temporary Internet Files” section,
click the “Delete Files…” button.
6. From the “Delete Files” dialog box, select
“Delete all offline content” and then click
“OK”. The files are deleted and the “Delete
Files” dialog box closes.
7. Click “OK” to close the “Internet
Options” dialog box.
8. Without closing Internet Explorer and without re-starting
the .chm file, all the hyperlinks that didn’t work before
will now work.
GENERAL SYSTEM INFORMATION
- Windows XP Pro, SP2
- Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180
- RoboHelp X5, 5.0.2 Build 801
- HTML (.chm) help project files exist on my local machine
- HTML (.chm) help file is run from my local machine
- Project is under RoboSource version control
TEMPORARY INTERNET SETTINGS
- “Check for newer versions of stored pages” is
set to “Automatically”
- “Current location” for the Temporary Internet
files folder is set to “C:\Documents and Settings\My
Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\”
- “Amount of disk space to use” is set to
“594” MB
“View Files…”
- An XLS or DOC file will be listed here if I click its
hyperlink and then click either “Open” or
“Save” from the “File Download – Security
Warning” dialog box.
- A file will appear here even if I click “Save”
and then click “Cancel” from the subsequent “Save
As” dialog box.
- If I click “Cancel” from the “File
Download – Security Warning” dialog box, the file does
not appear in the Temporary Internet Files folder.
- When a file does appear in the Temporary Internet Files
folder, its Internet Address is displayed similar to the following:
“ms-its:C:\PrimaryProjectFolder\ProjectName.chm::/SubFolderName/FileName.xls”
“View Objects…”
Here’s a list of all the program files that appear:
- “Microsoft Office Template and Media Control”
(Last Accessed 12/13/06) (Version 12,0,6024,0)
- “Shockwave ActiveX Control” (Last Accessed
12/14/06) (Version 10,1,4,20)
- “Shockwave Flash Object” (Last Accessed
12/18/06) (Version 9,0,28,0)
- “Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool”

- “WUWebControl Class” (Last Accessed 12/13/06)
(Version 5,8,0,2469)
Today is 12/18/06 so the only program file that is listed as
having been “Last Accessed” today is the
“Shockwave Flash Object”.
REQUEST FOR HELP
I really want to include certain PDF, DOC, and XLS files in
their native format in a .chm file. However, I need a better
solution to my problem than the one I discovered. What I really
want is to avoid the entire problem altogether.
Have anyone seen this before or have any suggestions?You wont be able to do that. The embedded objects would appear as images only.

The product isn't compatible with contemporary OSs or Office suite.
You may have to step up into the Acrobat XI product family.

A Microsoft tech said "oh-oh" when he saw Word and Excel files, and I think other files, in Windows (C:). He said only operating files should be in that folder or a user might delete an operating file by mistake. I have Word and Excel files in
both (C:) and Documents folders. There is some overlap but there are different files in each. When I open a Word file it defaults to (C:) not Documents. Sometimes default location is SkyDrive. So unpredictability is my experience. The questions are what is
correct default and how to make it so.
Microsoft store in San Diego transferred files from old computer to new one and this default is how the computer was set up.Hi, Tyro.
What a mess. Usually system files in the Windows folder are protected from being deleted by users, but not all of them.
Here are some ideas:
Go back to the Microsoft store and tell them to fix it. They caused it, it was their mistake, they are responsible to fix it.
If that is not possible because they are too far away... find another Microsoft Store if possible and have them fix it.
Last resort: If it was me, I'd just back up all the files that I care about onto my SkyDrive (now OneDrive) account or a reliable thumb drive. Then do a factory re-image. Maybe back up the files and make the MS store do it. If I had purchased Office
2013 (it sounds like you have Office 2013), then I would have them reinstall that as well.
Keep the store involved because it is their fault.
At least call the MS store in San Diego and ask them what they suggest. Put them on the spot. They are the ones that screwed up and are responsible for the copying process.
Good luck!

Macro to compare CSV and Excel file
Team,
Do we have any macro to compare CSV and Excel file.
1) In Excel we should have two text boxes asking the user to select the files from the path where they have Stored
2) First Text is for CSV file
3) Second Text box is for Excel file
4) We Should have Compare button that should run the Macro and Show the Differences.
Thanks!
KiranHi
Based on my understanding, we need to convert the 2 files into the same format before comparing two different formats files.
Here are the options:
1. Convert the CSV file and Excel file into 2-dim Arrays, then compare them, about how to load a CSV file into VBA array, you can search it from
internet or ask a solution in VBA forum.
VBA forum:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=isvvba
2. Also you can import CSV file to Excel sheet, and then compare them.
Here is the sample code for your reference:
‘import csv file
Sub InputCSV()
Dim Wb As Workbook
Dim Arr
Set Wb = GetObject(Application.GetOpenFilename("csv file,*.csv", , "please choose a csv file", , False))
Arr = Wb.ActiveSheet.Range("A1").CurrentRegion
Wb.Close False
Range("A1").Resize(UBound(Arr), UBound(Arr, 2)) = Arr
End Sub
‘compare sheet
Sub CompareTable()
Dim tem, tem1 As String
Dim text1, text2 As String
Dim i As Integer, hang1 As Long, hang2 As Long, lie As Long, maxhang As Long, maxlie As Long
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Columns("A:A").Select
With Selection.Interior
.Pattern = xlNone
.TintAndShade = 0
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
End With
Range("A1").Select
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Rows("1:4").Select
With Selection.Interior
.Pattern = xlNone
.TintAndShade = 0
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
End With
Range("A1").Select
MaxRow = 250
MaxColumn = 40
For hang1 = 2 To maxhang
Dim a As Integer
a = 0
tem = Sheets(1).Cells(hang1, 1)
For hang2 = 1 To maxhang
tem1 = Sheets(2).Cells(hang2, 1)
If tem1 = tem Then
a = 1
Sheets(2).Cells(hang2, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
For lie = 1 To maxlie
text1 = Sheets(1).Cells(hang1, lie)
text2 = Sheets(2).Cells(hang2, lie)
If text1 <> text2 Then
Sheets(2).Cells(hang2, lie).Interior.ColorIndex = 8
End If
Next
End If
Next
If a = 0 Then
Sheets(1).Cells(hang1, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 5
End If
Next
Hope this will help.
Best Regards

Can't open doc and rtf files on my nokia e61i
hi!I am new here,i have a problem with my e61i,I can not open doc and rtf files,if someone has a clue to tell me how can i fix the problem i'll be gratefull
I don't know if this will help but I had a similar problem that started yesterday. I have two macs. Once can't open MS Office files from the other Mac but can open Office files on each Mac. Drove me nuts for about 2 hours today - on the phone with Apple twice and Microsoft once. Finally found a similar post from 2007 that suggested to turn off and on file sharing by unchecking the "Share files and folders using AFP", on both computers and rebooting. That fixed it.
Funny thing, it was only with Office files I created since updating the software last week. Old Office files opened fine. -
Can someone tell me the best way to view and edit OpenOffice files on my new iPad Mini (originally Word and Excel files)? Thanks!
wmf files is a MS Windows video file, you will need a tool to covert the wmf files to another file format OS X will read. Simply Google to find a converter you are interested in and use it.

As above
What exactly do you mean by "untrustworthy?" Are you having a specific problem with MS Office on your Mac, or are you just saying you don't want to buy or install MS Office?
I have used every version of MS Office for Mac since it was first released, on every release of OS X since 10.2 Panther and I have never had a problem with it on any Mac ... hundreds of Macs. And have never had a problem exchanging Office docs (Word, Excel, PPT) with Windows users.
That said, it is important not to install an older version of MS Office on a newer release of OS X - for example if you are running Snow Leopard, Lion or Mt. Lion you should use MS Office Mac 2011. (Office 2008 would be ok on Snow Leopard but I would not recommend it on Lion or Mt. Lion). -
When about to install Yosemite onto my Imac it tells me I wont be able to access old Word and Excel files.Is there a solution to this ?
Use Office 2008 or 2011, LibreOffice, or similar software to access them.

Copying word.doc and excell spreadsheets
I just bought a new Curve 8330.
Can I copy word.docs and excell spreadsheets to my Blackberry?
If so, how?
Thank you for any help you may give me.
GordonYes, you can.
1. You can email the files to yourself and from the BlackBerry device, download to your Media Card.
2. You can set the Media Card to Mass Storage Support, and move the documents from your PC to the BlackBerry while connected to the PC via the USB cable.
See this: http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/How_do_I_add_media_files_to_my_microSD_card%3F
Now, if you have OS 5.0 on your device, (Look at Options > About, third line down beginning with a "v.4.xxx") you will have DocumentsToGo and WordToGo and SheetsToGo installed on your device (look in the Applications folder).
1. If any post helps you please click the below the post(s) that helped you.
