Open Office File Conversion Trick

I have several NeoOffice files that have the odt extension. I really wanted to have access to them on my iPad without having to convert every single file. Here is a simple solution that has been working for me. I could also have uploaded them all to Google Docs, but I wasn't certain I needed all of them converted. So using QuickOffice HD with access to my Dropbox as well as my Google Doc account I can open the files I want as I need them.
1. Open Dropbox in QuickOffice and select the file you wish to open and edit.
2. Tap Hold on the file and drag it onto the Google Doc drive on the left.
3. The file is automatically converted, opens and is able to be edited.
4. Save wherever you prefer.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
As per my research you can access by using Microsoft office for MAC but for that to use you need to purchase the Microsoft Office for Mac. You can refer following article for details.

Unable to open Office files on SharePoint 2010 sites on Windows Server 2008 R2

Setup: Windows SharePoint Server 2010 sp1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (hosted on VMWare VSphere ESXi 5.1)
Secured using Domain SSL from GlobalSign.
Client OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit & Windows XP SP3 32 bit
Browsers: IE10, IE9,IE8
Office: Office 2010, Office 2010 sp2 (both 32bit), Office 2007
Problem Description: Only recently, users started having issues with opening Office files (Word, Excel) on SharePoint sites. When you click on an Office file e.g. Word Document, it comes up with the option to select "Ready only" or "Edit"
and choosing either options and re-entering the login credentials results in the
application hanging. If you leave it for a while (about 5 minutes) sometimes the file opens and other times it gives the error "Could not open https://portal.com/XXX/XXX/Document.docx". Even when it opens, it's extremely
sluggish and can't do anything other than end it via Task Manager. Same with excel files.
This happens to all the users all different OS and browsers.
On XP Pro SP3 w/ IE8, when you click on the file, the login prompt keeps popping back up repeatedly and if you click cancel, the file loads up anyway but no way of saving back onto the SharePoint site.
IMPORTANT: One exception is when logged in as a Site Collection Administrator, it
works like a dream bizarrely!!!! Opens, Edits and saves back fine on the SharePoint site.
Have tried following:
1. Repaired Office 2010 Pro; Uninstalled/Re-installed Office 2010 Pro
2. Reset Browser, unticked automatically detect proxy settings.
3. Emptied OfficeOfflineCache on Client
4. Removed WebDAV from the SharePoint server
5. Added Antivirus folder exclusion (We use SEP 11) on the SharePoint Server
Note: PDF files opens fine for all users.
I would immensely appreciate if anybody has got any advice/pointers/suggestions. Desperately out of ideas at the moment.
regards,
Compter Sez No!

Hi,
According to your description, When you try to open a Microsoft Office document from a SharePoint 2010 site in a client application, the document opens slowly and you are prompted to enter your credentials multiple times.
This issue may be because of SharePoint Web Front End (WFE) server(s) has Antivirus software installed and the exceptions are not set correctly.
I recommend to remove the antivirus software or set the correct permissions for the antivirus software to resolve the issue.
To configure the antivirus exceptions, please follow the guidelines in the below articles:
KB943620:
Folders to exclude when you perform a file-level antivirus scan on a server operating system.
KB952167:
Certain folders may have to be excluded from antivirus scanning when you use a file-level antivirus program in SharePoint.
KB943556:
Recommended file and folder exclusions for Microsoft Forefront Client Security or Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010.
Best regards.
Thanks

Can't open office files from my usb drive

Dear forum
Sins a few weeks ago i am not able to open office file from my USB-drive.
However i can copy the file to the desktop and than i can open them.
I have this problme only (for as far i know) with office files.
greetings Ypkoba

If the drive is NTFS format, the Mac can read, but not write thiose drives natively.
So the issue may be that the temp file and the output file cannot be created on the same drive.

Sorry, something went wrong - Open Office File from Search Results Page with Office Web Apps

Hi,
I'm getting "Sorry, something went wrong" error when I'm trying to open any office document from inside Search Results Page with Office Web Apps, the same error is appearing in the document preview as well.
The error in SharePoint logs says that the file cannot be found.
Please note that this error is coming only when the "Filename" of the document is not written in English (in my case its written with Arabic characters).
If I try to open it from the document library, its opening properly with no errors.
The only difference between two URLs (document URL in Search Results and in Document Library) is the value for "sourcedoc" attribute;
In the case of Search Results page, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is kept as is with Arabic characters.
While in the Document Library, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is converted into different characters (something like: "B9%D9%85%D9%8").
Anybody have an idea on how to overcome this issue, implement a workaround or modify the "sourcedoc" behavior?
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Wendy,
Thanks for your efforts, I already tried your last suggestion before, but this didn't solve my problem.
Actually my end users are accessing this portal using ADFS and HTTPS.
Finally I got this solved, I have done below to get my overall solution working perfectly:
- First I have configured Windows Authentication and ADFS Authentication on the same zone which is the default zone.
- The issue when opening office documents with Arabic file name has disappeared as a result of first change.
- Then I have faced an issue where we are not able to crawl content under Default zone, however we have to do so, after too many efforts, I found that its related to the Load-balancer/proxy, I have made the crawler server
to crawl himself (http://CrawlServerName:PortNumber).
- Also a change on Alternate Access Mapping was needed, I have set one of the extended zones (which is running Windows Authentication only) as Internal URL for the Default Zone, and this is was the URL I used for Crawling.
I have configured Server Name Mappings to make sure we got proper URLs in Search Results.
- Then we faced another issue, which is Authentication selection on login page (How to bypass this page, and authenticate using ADFS auto), I used this solution (Set Custom Sign In Page):
http://0ut0ftheb0x.wordpress.com/2014/01/04/skip-the-authentication-selection-page-at-_logindefault-aspx-in-a-mixed-authentication-environment/.
- I faced one more issue as a result of above workaround; Sign Out functionality wasn't working well; users get logged in automatically whenever I click on Sign Out. I solved this by modifying the "Sign Out" Control under _layouts;
I made it to redirect users to ADFS Sign Out Page instead of SharePoint Sign Out Page (I know its not recommended, but I don't have any other option).

Unable to open Office files

Hi,
Odd situation. I have a user unable to open the majority of their Office docs from a shared drive. However as an administrator if I log into the server open the file and close it then the user is able to open the document with no problems.
Is this something anyone has seen before. Not an issue with any other users.
Server is 2012 r2 and client is Win 7 with Off 2010.
I do use data deduplication if that has an effect.
Any ideas, im at a loss.
Thanks

Hi
Pilgrim99,
Have you right clicked the shared drive to make sure all permissions there where set?
Can any other users open the document on the shared folder? Please check if you have granted that user access to the
file.
If there is anything I can do for you regarding this issue, feel free to post back.
Best regards,

Windows Server 2008 R2 clients can't double click to open Office files

Let me start by saying I don't know too much about Server 2008.
I have Server set up so desktop clients (Windows 7 Pro 64-bit) can log in as their user on their own machines. On two of the client machines (mine and my bosses, I have admin rights on everything) a couple funny things are happening:
1. Can't open a Word or Excel file by double clicking the icon on the desktop. Error is as follows:
Excel
Microsoft Excel cannot access the file 'C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\PERSONAL.XLSB'. There are several possible reasons: The file name or path does not exist. The file is being used by another program.
The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.
Word
The file Normal.dotm cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents.
and then
Word cannot open this document template. (C:\Users\(username)\...\AVWiz14s.dotm)
and then
Word cannot open the existing file. (Normal)
and then Word stops responding.
Note that I can open these documents normally from the start menu. I have determined this error has something to do with the server because I have tried a bunch of stuff on the internet, including an Excel hotfix, which did nothing.
2. Desktop icons flicker, rearrange themselves, and even disappear completely at times. I do not know what causes this, but I do believe this is a server issue.
3. I get recycle bin errors every time I log in, and every time I try to delete anything:
The Recycle Bin on \\intecserver\Office Employee Files\kneureuter\My Documents\My Videos is corrupted. Do you want to empty the Recycle Bin for this drive?
Sometimes I get that error for 3-4 different directories.
What I've tried:
I tried reinstalling Office, and that made no difference.
I have the drive from the server "Office Employee Files" mapped to network drive Y:. I can open that and go to my account folder on there, navigate to "Desktop" and open the files from there, but not on the physical desktop on my
computer.
These files aren't shortcuts on the desktop, their permanent home is on the desktop.
Just to reiterate, if I moved these files into a folder on the desktop, they will open fine. If I open them from within Excel or Word, they open fine. If I open them from the server drive mapped onto my terminal, they open fine. Just can't
open them by double-clicking the file if it is directly on the desktop. Any ideas?
I logged onto my account from a different computer and double-clicking to open the files worked fine on that computer. Both computers running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and Office 2010 Pro. So that limits it to this machine and my bosses machine.
Since you can't create a shortcut for something on the desktop, I created a new folder on the desktop and put the files in that folder. From there I created a shortcut and put that on the desktop. That worked!
However, that's just a band-aid. I need to fix this problem sooner than later.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Hi AxEheaD15,
If the Desktop or the My Documents folder is redirected to a network location, Office applications may exhibit the similar issues .

Inability to open office files in windows 8

I cannot open any downloaded office file from office 13 and office 2010 in windows 8. why is that? Is there a solution?

ACR 6.2 definitely supports the Sony SLT-A55V
Try from the Editor by clicking File à Open As
Then navigate to one of your raw files, highlight it, and choose open as camera raw.
Then click open.
If that doesn’t work you my need to convert to the Adobe Raw format.
Download the free Adobe DNG Converter 6.5 and use the digital negatives in PSE8 keeping your ARW files as your back-ups.

Can't open office files on iOS 7 or 8

using iPhones 4, 4s, 5 and 5s all with at least iOS7 or greater. users receive email from our exchange server with microsoft office file attachments (word, excel and powerpoint) and they cant open them. They hit "download entire message" and then try to open the file. It takes us to a grey screen with the file name on top, the file name in the middle of the grey screen and it says "Office Open XML Presentation" then the size 870k.

I have just downloaded Adobe reader on to ipad 2. I tried opening a Pdf in ibooks and then Adobe reader. I can only get the introductory pages. I can open the full dcument using adobe reader on my Mac?
It is one of those rare occasions where Apple comes off badly against microsoft. Opening a pdf attachment using windows is a doddle. Opening a pdf document on my mac seems to require me to save the document first - clunky to say the least, opening a pdf on ipad - impossible! All in all pretty rubbish. Can't believe they don't have something like this nailed.

Can't open office files located on a windows server fileshare

Hi TechNet / Office for Mac Community,
re: can't open MS Office files located on a windows server file share
Is anyone else experiencing this issue and/or have a fix?
Details:
Clients: Mac OS X 10.6 / 10.7 / 10.8 / 10.9
File share: Windows Server 2008 R2
Connecting via SMB or CIFS
Problem:
When mounting the Windows Server file share, Mac clients are unable to open MS Office 2011 files (not just powerpoint) from that location.
Error message: "there was an error accessing /Volumes/data/folder/presentation.pptx"
There is no issue creating or deleting MS Office files from that location.
The Mac 'Preview' application is able to open the same MS Office file without issues.
The file is not corrupted and can be opened when copied to the desktop.
Windows clients have no problem opening the file.
Only this particular file share is having an issue.
Are there any known issues or requirements for Windows Server file shares and MS Office 2011 that would apply to this problem?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Opening Office files within Safari

Hi,
I am experimenting with running Safari on a PC and some of the pages I visit have links to Office files (.doc and .ppt/.pps mostly). In IE these links cause the files to open within the browser windows. In Safari the linked file gets downloaded. Is it possible to get the files to open in the browser in Safari?
Thanks,
Adrian

They must download. There are no browser plug-ins that allow the browser to display those formats.

Open Office files in client application in Sharepoint Search

Is there a way to have all users of a SharePoint farm open Office documents that show up as search results in our Enterprise Search Center within their client applications and not in the Office Web Apps?
I know i can do this manually for me from the Search Result page > Preferences. But is there a way to do this
automatically for every user? Couldn't find it on the internet.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi Simon,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to open office documents in client application in SharePoint Search results.
In order to open search results in the client application, you had to alter the Item_CommonItem_Body.html search results display template.
More detailed information:

Bridge opening office files with xml converter

Adobe Bridge CS3 is opening all my excel files with xml converter and promting me to save as. How do I switch it to default to Microsoft Excel when opening these files?

These options are handled in the Bridge prefs under File Associations, but if I remember correctly this is somewhat limited in CS3 since it only handles Adobe files that install their associations. Any other file type is handled by whatever the opoerating system offers. Well, you can always look and give it a try...
