How do I stop files from opening as "Word Work File C_3.tmp."?

I have MS Word 2011 for Mac. Whenever I open a file that I have saved, it opens with the title "Word Work File C_3.tmp." To save whatever work or editing I want to do, I then have to go back to the saved file, pick up the actual title, go back to the document, then click on "Save As" to replace the "Word Work File C_3.tmp" with the original file name, then when I click "Save" the "Replace" query window comes up and I have to click on that. This has gotten to be a huge pain in netherly anatomical regions. How do I stop this from happening and get files to open with their proper names?

Can't open MS Word .doc files from SharePoint 2013 document library?

Hello,
I have uploaded some MS Word files with .doc extension into a SharePoint 2013 document library, but they don't open when clicked. I can do a number of things to the file, like view and edit properties, download and other things, but it does not
open up when mouse clicked. There are PDF files in the document library and they open up just fine. Any ideas?
I should add that MS Word 2010 .docx files can not be opened either.
Thanks.
Paul

Hi,
Whether you use office 2013.
Considering this .doc file can be smoothly opened in Office if you downloaded it to your local, it indicates that the Word document and Microsoft Word doesn’t have any problems. The issue may be caused by the compatibility between Office
and your site.
1.Check whether you have the SharePoint OpenDocuments Class add on enabled at first.
Internet Explorer >Tools iron > Manage add-ons >
Choose to Show All add-ons. Find SharePoint OpenDocuments Class and make sure it’s enabled.
2.go to Compatibility view settings > add your SharePoint site to compatibility view
3.go to Internet Options,
Advanced > Reset… > Check Delete personal settings and reset
Security > Trusted sites > sites > add SharePoint sites to trusted sites
4.If it doesn’t work, please open Word, go to Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Protected View > Uncheck all.

How to open damaged word file?

I m trying to open MS Word Document file, MS word files are showing error message like word 2003
doesn't open file, I have important document file got corrupted, so How to open damaged word file?
If you have any answer please help assist me.

When a Word document file is corrupted, then you can try several methods to recover it:
1. First of all, you can try the recovery function integrated with Microsoft Word, as follows:
1) On the File menu, click Open.
2) In the Look in list, click the drive, folder, or Internet location that contains the file that you want to open.
3) In the folder list, locate and open the folder that contains the file.
4) Select the file that you want to recover.
5) Click the arrow next to the Open button, and then click Open and Repair.
You may find more information about this at:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/recover-the-text-from-a-damaged-document-HP005189610.aspx (for Word 2003)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/893672/en-us (for Word 2007/2010/2013)
2. If 1 does not work, then you may try third-party tools such as DataNumen Word Repair at
http://www.datanumen.com/word-repair/
It provides a free demo version so that you can try to see if the data you want can be recovered or not.
Good luck!

Opening XFDF files on iPad with Safari

We are trying to open up Adobe XFDF files on iPad via Safari and keep getting told that 'Safari cannot download this file.'.
It feels like a file association problem in this environment but not for sure.
We can open the referenced PDF files just fine and Windows (using IE & Safari) works just fine when viewing the XFDF files (we get the associated PDF populated with data specified in the XFDF).
Is there anything we can do to fix this or are we at the mercy of Apple & Adobe working together to fix this 'problem'?
Thanks,
Mike

Bump -
We have tested this with iOS 7 and it still does not work ....
Any insight would be nice .....

Opening PC WORd documents with AW

I am new IMAC user. Unfortunately salesman (Best Buy) told me that a word processor and spread sheet were part of the software package! I want to buy AW (sounds like a great program and my son loves it), but need to know how to open PC Word documents from email. Will I be able to do this?
Thanks.

As Roger said, AppleWorks may not open newer Word & Excel files, from a PC or Mac. In the past, AppleWorks 6 was able to open almost all Word & Excel documents, it is not able to open those saved with newer versions of either Mac or PC application. The Office translators in AppleWorks were introduced in late 2000 or early 2001 & have not been updated. In the meantime, Microsoft has made significant changes in the file formats in the last year or two that AppleWorks can't open them any more. AppleWorks 6 was released in March, 2000, & hasn't even had any kind of update since January, 2004.

Opening a word template in 10g

When trying to open a word template file in 10g using,
client_ole2.invoke(obj_hnd,'open',arglist),
following error is thrown and the document is not getting opened,
2006-Jun-15 10:49:30.679 ERROR>WUO-714 [OleFunctions.setExceptionValues()] Unable to get the last OLE Error details; Exception null
2006-Jun-15 10:49:30.679 ERROR>WUO-707 [OleFunctions.invoke_obj()] Unable to invoke Method:2006-Jun-15 10:49:30.679

Without knowing what object obj_hnd refers to, I can only speculate that it incorrectly refers to something other than Word's Documents collection. If you are unfamiliar with Word's object model, search this forum using keyword Object Browser. This tool will help you understand what methods/properties are available, and valid arguments/values for same.

How do I convert Word 2004 files for use with Mavericks?

I have recently upgraded to Mavericks and now find that my old Word files (2004) can't be opened. (I can still open my Word 2008 files.) I have been a maths teacher for decades and have many old files which are still very useful but they contain more than just text; they contain diagrams, MathType expressions etc. etc. I need to be able to convert these files to files that can be opened with Mavericks. Can anyone tell me how I can do this?

I am still using Office 2008! (I know I should have upgraded but haven't yet.)
Office 2008 should function in Mavericks and it willl open Office 2004 files:
http://roaringapps.com/app/microsoft-office-2008
Hence, you do not need to partition and install Snow Leopard into a new partition. I gave you my previous advice before you indicated you are now using Office 2008.

Exchange server damages Word files - cannot be opened on Word for iPad anymore

Dear all,
I posted the following problem in the Office for iPad forum and was asked to address this topic here as well. Probably you can help?
In my office we are using Word 2007 to create ordinary .docx files. When I email such a file to my iPad I cannot open it neither in the Mail.app preview nor in Word for iPad.
Mail.app tells me its an "Office Open XML word processing document" and Word just tells me the file is damaged. However the files opens just fine in various versions of Word for PC and Mac.
Does anyone know what is happening here? I bought Office for iPad especially to being able to open the word files I create in my office... :-(
Additional info:
I ran the following test:
I took a .docx file I created on my office PC which was stored on our server and saved it locally to my PC harddrive. I then saved a copy as .doc as well. Then I emailed both files to my office Outlook account AND my iCloud account (with one email).
BOTH files did NOT open in Word for iPad from my Outlook account (Exchange Server) but BOTH files just opened fine from my iCloud account.
I then forwarded the email from my Outlook account to my iCloud account and now BOTH files did NOT open on the iPad anymore.
So it seems that my Outlook account (Exchange server) corrupts the files so they cannot be opened on the iPad anymore, while they can still be opened on a PC or Mac.
Do you have any ideas to solve that issue?
It cannot be that Office for iPad doesnt work in combination with an Exchange Server Outlook Account, can it?
best regards
Wolfgang

Hi,
I suggest doing following test and returning the results to me.
1. Please using OWA to open the .docx file on both PC and iPad via your Exchange account.
If the file can be opened in OWA. I suggest asking ActiveSync Forum for help so that we can get more professional suggestions.
For your convenience:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/home?forum=exchangesvrmobility
2. Please verify whether this issue occur on only one user (your Exchange account). If only you have this issue, it should be an issue on your Exchange account or your iPad.
3. Please try to use other's iPad for test. If the file can be opened on other's iPad, it seems an issue on your iPad.
Thanks

Can't open Pages files from iPad in Word 2010 on PC

I have not been able to open any files created on my iPad (iOS 6.0.1) with Apple Pages in Microsoft Word 2010 on Windows XP Pro and hope someone can suggest a solution.
I am emailing the files as attachments (.docx files) When I try to open the file on my PC, I get an error message when I open them in Word that says:
Word was unable to read this docuemnt.
Try one or more of the following:
* Open and repair the file.
* Open the file with the Text Recovery converter. (C:\Users\...\name of file.doc)
In addition, I tried to open the .docx file in Openoffice.org 3.4.1 and it got a read error.
Any suggestions? Is there any kind of plug-in/add-in for MS Word 2010 that would correct the problem?
Thanks,
Rich
Additional: Pages was purchased today from the App store; iPad is Gen4 a couple days old

So...I have played with it more. Simple documents work most of the time. But if I take a more complex doc to Pages, edit it and save it as a Word doc then trasnfer it back to PC or Mac it will fail to open.
Would be nice if I could trust the App. WIll mess more with it but it is very frustrating.

Email attachments: whenever someone sends me a file the Ipad labels it winmail.dat and wont allow me to open it...these are Word, Exce or jpgs. Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it? Also, how can you save attachments to a file on the IPad2

Is this a particular sender, or all of your attchments? Google winmail.dat and you will see a number of returns that can explain this, but in short, this is the way some e mail providers deal with attachments. If all of your e mail is coming that way, you need to change a setting on your isp set up. Perhaps stary here...

HT4623 I update my iPad mini retina with iOS 7.1 resulting in not being to down load NOR OPEN PPT, WORD files using iWork, page, can anyone pls help?

I update my iPad mini retina with iOS 7.1 resulting in not being to down load NOR OPEN PPT, WORD files using iWork, page, can anyone pls help?

You want to just use Dropbox until the dust settles. To use it from iWork for iOS (assuming you have the Dropbox app installed on your device), open the document in Keynote (for example), tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), choose Open in Another App, choose Keynote as your format, then choose Open in Dropbox and you will get an option to save it to your Dropbox account. To open it from Dropbox in iWork for iOS, open the document in the Dropbox app, tap the share icon, tap Open in Keynote (for example). It's a bit clunky, but works.

How is it possible to download my Word Perf files and open them on my Ipad 2?

Is there a way to download my Word Perfect files to my Ipad 2 and open them? Is there an app that would open them?

Well (James)... WordPerfect is a central theme of this thread.
Nut that aside, I have to say, I belong to many, many, forums, and this is by far the most negative exchange I've had in long, long, time. I would not have thought that thinking outside the box was beyond an Apple forum.
You guys are big thinkers, right?
I'm just looking to help my users do their jobs better.
Yes, like it or not, iPads are now in the work-force and we do weird things out there in the world.
A lot of lawyers use Word Perfect. Don't ask why.
A lot of lawyers are beginning to use iPads. We all know why.
My simple aim was to help them see their documents as easily as they can a PDF.
Maybe too lofty a goal...
Maybe not.
And yes, Corel should have some skin in this game too.
Check out the threads on this same subject on Corel's forum.
All-in-all this exchange has been personally exhausting and ultimately unfruitful...
Thanks.
