Office Open XML word processing document

I am getting the following message when I try to open a Word (docx) Document on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8 (latest build at 08/10/14) from within an email account:
"Office Open XML word processing document"
I have tried installing Microsoft Office Mobile and a third part App called Documents.
I have been sent different emails in DocX format (.docx) and I can not open any of them.
I have tried pages on my iPhone and that does not work eaither.
I can however open PDF documents.
I have rebooted/restarted the iPhone twice.
I have a coleage with an iPhone 5 with iOS 8 and they have the same problem.
I have another coleage who has an iPhone 4 on an older version of iOS and theirs works fine.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Anthony

I have had this problem for a while now. The only thing that worked is:
On your iOS Device:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
Once it restores, connect to iTunes
do not Restore from Back Up (this doesn't work) - instead select Set up as New Device
This resolved the problem opening all mail attachments (PDF, .docx, .doc, .pptx, .ppt, .xlsx, etc.)
Good luck.

Hi Charlotte,
You don't say what your version of Windows you have. Assuming XP, go to Start | Run, type DXDIAG and click OK. Click the Sound tab and run the tests to eliminate a hardware problem first of all. If you don't hear anything, check your cables first of all. Also make sure "Mute" isn't checkmarked in your sound setup. You'll find that in Windows Control Panel.
Which browser do you use? If you have Firefox 4, sign up to the HTML5 trial @ http://www.youtube.com/html5
HTML5 is the latest video standard and doesn't require Flash player. Google is in the process of converting all its files to work with the new format. It may solve you problem. If you don't have Firefox 4, you can get it from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
IE8 doesn't support HTML5.
To clean out your temp files, go to Start | Run, type: CLEANMGR and click OK. Click OK again to start the utility. Tick all the boxes except "Compress old files" because the latter takes too long, and then click OK. You can run this utility any time you wish by the way.
The above steps will hopefully fix your problem. If not, post here again please.

Office Open XML PowerPoint in Keynote?

Has anybody found a way to import Office 2007 .pptm files in Keynote? One of my profs last quarter posted everything in his online class in the latest version of PowerPoint (instead of just simple docs...) and I was hopelessly stuck having to go into the school to convert them on their computers which defeated the reasons for taking an online class. I saw that Pages was able to import Office Open XML files and hoped that Keynote would be able to also.
I have Windows installed under BootCamp and Parallels for some modeling tools, but I don't feel like getting an old copy of Office and Microsoft's XML document converter just to be able to convert one type of document. This latest iWork successfully replaced NeoOffice for everything I needed and saves me from going into Windows that much more. (Numbers is brilliant!)
Maybe more XML document importing will be added with a point release of iWork?

This problem bit one of my Mac users, and it took me a little while to figure out what was going on.
In Office 2008 for Windows, there are two new types of file formats. One type ends with an 'x', the other with an 'm'. Both are OOXML-based ("Office Open XML"), but the latter is "macro-enabled". For some reason, Keynote and Pages (and possibly Numbers?) seem to be unable to open or import the 'm' files, but AFAIK all are capable of importing the 'x' files.
I'll refrain from expressing my opinion on Microsoft's choice to invent and use this new "standard" format, but it seems the fact that it's XML-based seems to work in our favor here. On a whim, I tried changing the extension of an unopenable .pptm presentation to .pptx (without making any further modifications) and opening it in Keynote. And boom! It imported smoothly.
I'm not sure if this works the same with other types by converting .docm to .docx or .xlsm to .xlsx, but it's worth a try. Post your results here, I'm curious.

Keynote won't open some Office Open XML / .pptx files

I'm a developer trying to generate .pptx documents (i.e. Office 2007, Office Open XML) and would like to open them in Keynote. I already can successfully generate .pptx files which PowerPoint opens fine, but those same documents don't open in Keynote. I get the following errors in Console.app:
3/3/08 6:39:24 AM Keynote[68427] Couldn't generate XML from /Users/tlrobinson/Downloads/1204554878463.pptx
3/3/08 6:39:24 AM Keynote[68427] errors (1):
3/3/08 6:39:24 AM Keynote[68427] (0) The document is not in PowerPoint format.
Has anyone been able to generate .pptxs that Keynote will open?

Welcome to the discussions, tlrobinson.
To my knowledge, Apple only supports opening of .ppt documents, hence the error message you're getting.

Very stupid question -- how do I delete old word processing documents??

I have a zillion old word processing documents stored away. Many of them are old school projects my kids did, and I would really like to clean house. But I can't figure out how.
Going to "File," clicking on "Open" to get the list of all documents, then highlighting a document and hitting "delete" (which is pretty much what you do in WordPerfect) does NOT do the job. Nothing happens.
I ask this very basic question because the Appleworks "Help" feature on my machine doesn't give an answer, and neither (as far as I can tell) does the pdf Appleworks manual on the Apple site. I'm at a loss. Can anyone give me a hand with this?

Deleting files from a dialog whose purpose is to open
them is not the Mac way. Simply locate the files in
the Finder and drag them from their folder to the
trash.
Thank you so very much! I've worked in Appleworks on one computer or another for two years and have exhausted every research item I had trying to figure what should be a very simple action. AppleHelp sure doesn't address it nor does The Missing Manual for Appleworks. How simple - but how impossible to know unless someone told you. And, yes, this is the Mac way.
Thanks again!

Hello.
Although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability.

When I try and open Microsoft Word 2011 documents they start opening one after another at a rapid speed and I can't stop it. I reboot and same thing happens?

When I try and open Microsoft Word 2011 documents on my IMAC they start opening one after another at a rapid speed and I can't stop it. I reboot and same thing happens. The documents open in rapid succession on their own and don't stop until I force close or after maybe 100 or more open I start getting the following message for each document attemting to open "This document could not be registered. It will not be possible to create links from other documents to this document" and then in paretheses the name of the document. After I click okay another trys to open. Any suggestions?

If you had multiple documents open and quit the app without closing all of the docs first, it will open them again when you launch the app. Open Word, and then close all the documents, you may be asked to save the document, if the document was already saved but you made changes to it before you quit the app, you may need to save the changes first, shorcut ( command and s keys). After you close all of the documents then quit the app and restart the computer. See if this works.

How to delete an old locked appleworks (.cwk) word processing document?

How to delete an old locked appleworks (.cwk) word processing document? This is merely a startup file to make AppleWorks come up with text formatting etc all set to desired styles. AppleWorks doesn't work in Mavericks. I cannot find how to use Get Info to unlock this file so that it may be shoved to the trash.

Eustace,
1. Yes, the screenshot did not survive the trip into the text entry box after I hit send or whatever. Maybe I should upload it to my Flickr account and give it its own set and then insert the URL for that set here.
Thanks for the link. I've never used Terminal before so I tried out your link twice. I was able to follow the directions but I did not see an icon for the created file appear on my desktop. Then I added two screenshots to my desktop and those did not appear either. So, I restarted and both the file names that I'd created with terminal and the screen shots appeared on the desktop. Then I tried to use Terminal to make the added file disappear and it would not. However, I was able to select the created filenames and the screen shots and dump them all in the trash and empty the trash.
This morning I tried the method to create a file on the desktop a third time and it still does not appear on the desktop. What is the command for showing a listing of all the files in a directory? Suppose I wanted a listing of all the files on my desktop. I probably should be looking on the internet for a tutorial on using Terminal.
I understand your suggestion that I can use Terminal to delete the unwanted locked files but my computer is not acting quite the way the tutorial in your link suggests.
Thanks for the idea. It tells me I need to learn a bit about using Terminal.

How do I set Pages to automatically open all Word (.doc) documents?

How do I set Pages to automatically open all Word (.doc) documents?

Hello Argelius
If you select a word file in the Finder and do File>Get Info you will see a section in there where you can specify which application should be used to open files of that type.

I am missing some appleworks abilities I do not find on pages. How does one "draw" vertical lines in a word processing document?

How to convert all old (pre-Office 2007) documents in portal to new (Office Open XML, Office 2007+) formats?

Good day.
We have create a single SharePoint 2013 farm and manually copied in it all documents from old SharePoint 2007 server portal.
The question is how to automate covertation from old document format to new office in all librarys?
"Word Automation Services" able to convert only Word's documents, not Excel.
The single method what I think, is to use bulk convert utility ofc.exe from Microsoft Office Migration Planning Manager with powershell's ability to get all items from all librarys from site collection.
Can someone has faced with it and has a ready work example?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to convert all office file to the latest 2007 format.
We found this tool called MS Office Migration Planning Manager:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=13580cd7-a8bc-40ef-8281-dd2c325a5a81&DisplayLang=en#filelist
After extracting it, going to the Tools folder and modified the ofc.ini file to specify which folder to scan and convert etc.
Then running the ofc.exe and except some files didn't convert successfully, others is ok.

Word Processing document to fit screen size.

Hello.
I have opened Appleworks and then opened a new WP document to start work on. The problem is it is only filling a third of the available screen. It appears to be a real waste. I want to work on the document while it is displayed using every available inch of the screen. So it is in what I call 'real-time size' on a 12 inch notebook. I am fairly used to using Microsoft Office, but as you can tell from this post have had very little time with Appleworks or Mac's. I'm sure there is a very simple solution, and if somebody could help me using very simple language I would most grateful.
Thank you in advance.
iBook G4 12 inch Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Appleworks does not have an automatic zoom feature that will enlarge the text so that it spans the width of the window. However, you can manually increase the zoom level so that the text appears larger in order to fill up more of your screen. Changing the zoom level only changes how large things appear on screen, not how large the text is on the page (like in Word).
To increase the zoom level, you use the buttons found at the bottom left corner of the window. You'll see a small rectangle that displays the zoom level. At first, it will read '100'. If you click on this, it will give you a pop up menu with percentages ranging from 25% ro 800% and a choice for other. When you first click you may only see numbers smaller than 100%, but if you point the mouse at the triangle at the end of the list, it will scroll down the list so you can see the rest of the choices.
Directly to the right of this '100' you will see two small buttons with what looks like a filled line chart. The first has small "peaks" and the second shows higher "peaks". As you might expect, the first is to decrease zoom level, the other to increase zoom level.
You can use these controls to change the zoom level so that you fill the whole screen to your liking.
BTW, the next button after the zoom controls is the on which hides and shows the tools (same as "Show Tools" under the Window menu). You can also double click on the 'Page 1' to bring up a dialog that lets you enter a number to jump to another page.

Templates opening at 'word processing' format instead of 'page layout'

I have many templates created before upgrading to iwork-8. When I use them in the latest version they automatically open as a 'word processing' format. But I need them to be in page layout format. Any suggestions?

Not,
Before Pages 3, there was no page layout template -- there was only word processing. So Pages open up any document (prior to Pages 3) as a word processing doc. You can't change it. You can only copy the material to a new template.
But I have to ask -- what do you want to do that can't get done in a word processing doc?
