Opening attached documents from an email message

I just received an iPhone as a gift and I am not sure I want to switch from Blackberry to iPhone yet. I have a lot of Word, Excel and .pdf documents emailed to me. Can I open them on an iPhone?
Also, any opinions on making the switch? Should I or shouldn't I?
Thanks!

You can open/view Word, Excel and PDF documents sent as an email attachment from within the received message. You cannot save any received attachments outside of the message - at least not at the current time.
Apple is releasing firmware update 2.0 for the iPhone sometime next month, which will include some additional features along with adding the iTunes App Store for the iPhone and iPod Touch, where 3rd party software for the iPhone and iPod Touch will be available for download and installation.

  • When I try to open a document from my file on Mac OS X the following message appears, with the Bluetooth logo: 'SELECT A BLUETOOTH DEVICE ....Select a device to send file ...' I then have to go to the source of the document, e.g. Pages, to open the file.

    When I try to open a document from my file on Mac OS X the following message appears, with the Bluetooth logo: 'SELECT A BLUETOOTH DEVICE ....Select a device to send file ...' I then have to go to the source of the document, (e.g. Pages), to open the file. Please could someone help?

    The Get Info dialog should look something like this:
    The "Change All" button should be at the bottom of the "Open With" section.  This is how it appears in Snow Leopard.  Other OSX versions many be slightly different.
    If something is changing the setting back to something else you may have a deeper problem than I am able to help you with.  What is appearing in the Open with area before you correct it?
    If the problem is still persisting, instead of double clicking on the file to open it, try right or control clicking and then select Open With and choose the proper app from the list.

  • "An error occurred sending the command to the application" When trying to open excel document from outlook 2007

    Error message "An error occurred sending the command to the application" When trying to open excel document from outlook 2007.
    OS: Windows Server 2008 R2
    If I save the document then it opens fine, messing with default file associations does not resolve this problem, I've googled for ir it and some suggest unticking compatibility mode or "run as admin" for excel application, neither is selected in my case.
    Outlook is configured to run as remote application from remoteApp server, this error is only occurring for one user, for others excel documents open just fine.

    Hi
    Thank you for using
    Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
    From your description, we can Create a trusted location follow these steps
    Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Excel Options.
    Click Trust Center, click Trust Center Settings, and then click
    Trusted Locations.
    If you want to create a trusted location that is not local to your computer, select the Allow trusted locations on my network (not recommended) check
    box.
    Click Add new location.
     IMPORTANT   We recommended that you don't make your entire
    Documents or My Documents folder a trusted location. Doing so creates a larger target for a hacker to potentially exploit and increases your security risk. Create a subfolder within Documents or My Documents, and make only that folder a trusted location.
    In the Path box, type the name of the folder that you want to use as a trusted location, or click Browse to
    locate the folder.
    If you want to include subfolders as trusted locations, select the
    Subfolders of this location are also trusted check box.
    In the Description box, type what you want to describe the purpose of the trusted location.
    Click OK.

  • Not able to open office documents from SharePoint site using Forms auth on a Mac with Office 2011

    I posted the same question on the Mac Office forum (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macstart/not-able-to-open-office-documents-from-sharepoint/7fba517b-ebd1-4e90-a54a-c70c5f035146?tm=1418836613595) but figured it's probably more
    of a SharePoint question so I'm going to try here as well.
    We just discovered an issue where a user logs into a SharePoint site using Forms based authentication.  When clicking on an Office file they get
    'Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you' message:
    The user can download the file and can also open the file within the browser (Office Web apps).  This SharePoint site is on a Web app that uses mixed authentication (forms for external partners) and Windows/Kerberos for internal employees.
     When logging into this same site as an internal user I am able to open the file just fine.
    I checked the 'Microsoft Document Connection' settings and selected and deselected 'Enable Basic Authentication' and neither helped.  
    I also tried to add the site URL under 'Microsoft Document Connection' -> Add connection -> Connect to a SharePoint site.  When I put the site URL in and click 'Connect', I get an error saying that 'Only connection to SharePoint or OneDrive
    servers are supported' message.  If I try the same thing as an internal user using Windows/Kerberos authentication I am able to connect to the site just fine.
    Any ideas??

    Hi Szamir,
    As you are using Form Based authentication to open the documents from SharePoint site, I recommend to check the things below:
    Make sure that the user has permission to view the documents in the site.
    Please select "Sign me in automatically" when you sign in the login page.

  • Can't open Office documents from network share

    Dear,
    I have a user named X that can't open Office documents from two specific shares. We call this shares T and U.
    When the user X opens Office documents the error message is "...xlsx can't be opened". The problem is not client specific because when I login on the same client I can open the documents without any problem. If you copy the file to your desktop it
    opens fine.
    Any idea?

    Anybody?
    We have a problem with a customer that they can't open Office documents(Word,Excel etc.) on Windows 8 image on a network share. The error message is just that they can't open the document. The documents are on a sharepoint site and we can open the documents
    within the site and also we can open the Office documents on a Windows 7 image.
    I think there is a group policy for Windows 8 for this but I don't know for sure?
    Anybody?

  • Can't open Office documents from share on Windows 8

    We have a problem with a customer that they can't open Office documents(Word,Excel etc.) on Windows 8.1 image on a network share. The error message is just that the document can't open.
    The documents are on a sharepoint site and we can open the documents within the site and also we can open the Office documents on a Windows 7 image from the networkshares.
    Also can't open the documents if i copy them to the local desktop.
    I think there is a group policy for Windows 8 for this but I don't know for sure?
    Anybody?

    Hi,
    As I understand, the issue is that customers can’t open office documents on windows 8.1 on a network share or copying them to the local desktop.
    Per my test, I can open documents on windows 8.1 on a network share.
    1. By default, Word doesn't trust files in temp directories from your browser. You can add the
    network address and local address to the trusted list. From Word 2010/2013: Click File > Word Options > Trust Center->trust center setting->add new location.
    2. You can create a shortcut on the desktop using the network address and then open the documents by that way.
    3. To narrow down the research scope that you can create a new document library->Download a problematic file (an Excel workbook or a word document) to your local->Upload the local file to the new document library->do the same option to check if
    the same situation will occur.
    There is a similar case:

    Hi Sara Fan,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have added the profile to the trusted locations but without success. Also a shortcut is not working. I still can't open any Office document on that location(Error message: location ***.xxxx can't be opened). The problem occurs on every client.
    1. Opening Office documents under local administrator account, domain admin account is working fine
    2. Re-image the machine is not a solution
    4. All locations use the same Windows 8.1 image through SCCM
    3. When the user logon to another location(site) it's working fine and they can open Office documents so it seems site-specific
    4. The problem is specific from 2 sharepoint shares. We can open office documents from other shares.
    5. Can't open Office documents from the library on the sharepoint site(browser), but on another location it's working fine.
    Problem only occurs on Windows 8.1 image with domain users. Other locations of this company do not have the problem. Note, every location have their own OU for users/clients.
    Any other suggestions? 

  • How do I attach photo files to email message in iPhoto '11?

    Apple says, "If you want recipients to be able to use the photos you send, rather than simply view them, you can attach the photo files to your email message. (BUT HOW?) Recipients can then download the photos from the email message and print them, use them in their own projects, and so on."
    How do I attach these files when sending an email of photos using iPhoto? (I don't want to use AppleMail, I know how to do it in AppleMail) When I click to Share my photos via email in iPhoto, I do not see any option rbutton to add files to make the photos easily downloadable for the recipient.  Anyone know how to do this?  Thanks!

    Not sure why you can't deselect the option, but I would guess that yes, the files are being attached.
    Who are you sending to? iPhoto sends HTML emails and not every application on Windows or Mac knows how to deal with them, for instance, nor every user.
