Opening documents from internet explorer

Hello Firends,
"I´ve problem trying to open documents (odt, doc, xls, ...) with OpenOffice since Internet Explorer?? it takes forever to open, two minutes, however, if you open Firefox or from Windows Explorer opens at the same time.
I tried it with Windows XP SP3, Internet Explorer 6 and later 8.
This time, as I mentioned, is about two minutes, however, activating the QuickStart reduce opening times to 30 seconds, but still very slow. The problem is that I need to work well in Internet Explorer, so that I can not use Firefox or other browser.
I've been mulling over a long time and I can not solve. The version used is 3.2 OpenOffice itself can be helpful.
Thanks in advance for the input.
Greetings!

You have three variables: browser, open office, and document being opened.
Assuming you are opening the same document to get your timing comparisons, we ca drop that as a variable
For browser, you have either Firefox or IE. For document reader application you have open office.
--------|--open office --
firefox | fast
  IE    | slowConclusion, IE is slow. You may just have to live with it. (Or else buy a faster PC. That is what MS tools are good for, justifying PC upgrades. 8^)

  • Error in when opening documents in Internet Explorer

    The following issue started after installing the new version of Reader.  Occurs on attempt to open any document from an IE HTML page link.  Have tried opening both Microsoft Word .doc files and Adobe .pdf files.  Same error message in either case.  Below is an example loading a MS Word .doc file.
    Adobe Reader X Ver. 10.0.1 Error issue
    AcroRd32.exe - Application Error
    The exception unknown software exception (0xc0000710) occurred in the application at location 0x7762a289
    Click on OK to terminate the program
    Clicking on OK results in document being read.  Unknown what problem has been instantiated.
    Document is a Microsoft Word .doc link on an IE html page over the internet.
    Document is a 14 page document that is "untagged and must be prepared for reading.  While the document is being analyzed, your assistive technology will not be able to interact with this application."

    Since the error dialog box specifically identifies the error coming from the AcroRd32.exe application, it would appear that the error is specifically an Adobe issue.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard and Pro - dialog prompt when opening PDF from Internet Explorer 9

    Good morning.
    I am having an issue where our ends users that have either Adobe Acrobat X Standard (AAXS) or Adobe Acrobat X Pro (AAXP) cannot open a PDF within Internet Explorer 9 without being prompted by a dialog box to OPEN, SAVE or SAVE AS. Our user that have Adobe Reader X (ARX) only are ok. The ARX users can click on a PDF link within the browser and it will automatically open in a new tab. However, the AAXS and AAXP users will click on that same link, but are then prompted with a dialog box to either OPEN, SAVE or SAVE AS. Has any one else seen this before? We would like it to be so that all users - no matter what Adobe PDF program they are using of the 3 mentioned - can open a PDF link by just clicking on the link and no additional dialog options appear.
    The ARX users have the same Internet settings within the Adobe preferences as the AAXS and AAXP users. The check box is checked to have PDFs open within the browser, which they do, but that dialog box always appears for AAXS and AAXP users. Any thoughts?
    Thank you.

    Thanks for the reply. I stumbled across something today after posting. I had already known that If the ARX user also had one of the other products (AAXS or AAXP), then they would get the dialog box. Here is what I just figured out: if the user uninstalled ARX and re-installed (still having both ARX and AAXS or AAXP in the end) then they no longer get the dialog box. It seems like perhaps its an issue the AAXP and AAXS are overwriting something in the registry.

  • Adobe Reader 11 is unable to open PDF's from Internet Explorer 11

    My boss is currently operating on the Adobe Reader 11 and often needs to use Internet Explorer 11 for certain programs.
    Unfortunately the Adobe Reader is unable to open PDFs from Internet Explorer and often comes up with a message telling us that the file is either damaged, no longer exists or that there is a problem with the syntax.  She does not have this problem with Google Chrome.  We have tried several ideas regarding the security settings but nothing seems to correct the problem.  Could someone shed some light on how to fix this error?

  • I installed Firefox 3.6. Since then, I am unable to open pdf documents in Firefox. I get a black page. I tried opening the same document in Internet Explorer. It worked fine. I recently installed Nuance's pdf reader and thought that might be the problem.

I recently installed Nuance's pdf reader and thought that might be the problem. Uninstalled it. Still have the problem with Firefox.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    How about if you right click on the PDF and select Save Link As..., and then open it locally from within Reader? Does it work ok then?  That might be a workaround until the issue within the browser is resolved.

    If you have a tablet that runs full Windows 8 - not Windows 8 RT, which is limited.
    And if you install the full Adobe Reader for Windows, not the special Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8.

    Thanks for the response.
    I have written some function in PluginInit. I don't want to call the method when acrobat launches in IE. It should call only when acrobat launches in Desktop.
    How can I call the method only when it launches on desktop.
    Please help me to solve the issue.

  • SharePoint 2013 - Unable to open Office documents in Internet Explorer - cannot access file

    In SharePoint 2013 some of our users receive an error message when trying to open an Office application from Internet Explorer 11.  Other users on the same browser don't have this issue. 
    Any ideas on how to resolve?

    HI Greg,IE11 is having some issues with the SharePoint 2013.
    http://expertsharepoint.blogspot.de/2014/08/issues-with-sharepoint-2013-and.html
    Since
    SharePoint 2013 fully support IE 32-bit version above 7, there might be compatibility issue with other browsers. I’d recommend you use IE 8,9,10 32-bit for optimal
    Performance.
    3.   
    Make sure the IE (Internet Explorer) Version should be 32-bit and not
    a 64-bit

  • Launching Microsoft Access from Internet Explorer to view a downloaded MDB file opens the wrong file (not a problem if I use Firefox)

    When clicking on a link (in Internet Explorer 9) to download an Access MDB file and then choosing to open the file directly in Microsoft Access (2007) instead of saving it, the file is copied to Temporary Internet Files but Microsoft Access tries to open
    a different file and displays an (Unrecognized database format) error.
    When I click on the option to open the file, the MDB file is copied to Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 but instead of that file, Access tries to open a different (incorrect) file located in Temporary Internet Files\Content.MSO (e.g. in the above error
    message, NativeView.do is an XML file containing an error message).
    I don't see this problem with Word, Excel or PowerPoint files. When opening a Word file (without saving) the Word file is copied to Content.IE5 but an identical .tmp file is created in Content.MSO which when opened in Microsoft Word displayed the required file
    correctly. The same happens for Excel files. PowerPoint appears to be handled a little differently (no .tmp file created in Content.MSO but the required file is still copied to Content.IE5) but the PPT file is still opened correctly in Microsoft PowerPoint.
    I think the Content-Type "application/msaccess" is fine because Internet Explorer does launch Microsoft Access. It just tries to open the wrong file (or so I think). However, it looks like the file type is not being determined. Here is what I noticed
    when trying to open different Microsoft Office files using Internet Explorer:
    The last one is the MDB file. As you can see, only for this type of file, the "Type" (Microsoft Office Access 2007?) is not displayed in this Open/Save dialog box.
    On Firefox, I don't see this problem. When I tried clicking on the link to the MDB file in Firefox, Microsoft Access was launched and the file was opened correctly. Is there something I can do so the MDB file is opened properly using IE? I can add/change headers
    in the HTTP response that writes this file to the output stream (on disk) if that helps.
    Thanks for your time!

    Sounds like a problem symptom to be discussed in either an IE forum or an Access forum, not here.  How did you come to post here?  ForumsRedesign.  That might be an on-topic issue for this forum.  <eg>
    Can you find your way to either of those other forums easily from here?  Another on-topic question for here I think.   ; )

  • Remove Office 2010 purchase message from internet explorer

    I have a notebook and desktop computer and I use Windows Microsoft Office 2007, running Word, Excel, Publisher, Access etc, on both notebook and desktop computers with Norton 360 
    antivirus, both have used this system for the last 4 years. 
    Both computers came preloaded with Microsoft Office 2010 starter for Word and Excel which have never been used on either computer.
    For the last couple of weeks every time I try to open any document on the notebook (this does not happen on the desktop) from Internet Explorer I get a Microsoft 2010 message saying ‘the Office product needed to open this file is not installed’ and offers
    3 solutions:  Activate office 2010; go online and purchase Office 2010; Try Office 2010 free for a limited time. 
    I have not used any of those options as I do not want to use Office 2010 and wish to continue with Office 2007, however there is no option to do so. 
    I can access Office 2007 manually on the computer but cannot open any document emailed or available online.
    How do I get rid of this annoying notice coming up and et back to being able to use 2007 which has worked well for the previous years? 

    Hi,
    Do you install any updates before getting this error message?
    According to your description, file type associations is missing maybe caused by installing September 2013 Update. After installing this update, you may be unable to open files by double-click then or
    the file type icons have changed.
    If so, we can try these methods to fix this issue.
    Right-click the file, select Open with > Choose default program, to
    restore the file type association to the correct Microsoft Office application.
    In some cases, you may need to repair Office 2010 from Control Panel > Programs and Features.

  • Word Viewer will not open documents from Sharepoint 2013 in IE11

    I've run into an issue while trying to open documents from SharePoint 2013 after upgrading to IE11. My organization uses Word Viewer with the compatibility pack and all other Word documents (local files, intranet hosted) will open with no problems. When
    trying to open a Word document from SharePoint the Word Viewer will open, but the file does not. We have verified that all Windows Updates are installed. We have tried opening SharePoint in Compatibility View and Enterprise Mode. We have re-downloaded the
    latest version of Word Viewer and reinstalled it along with the compatibility pack. If we open the SharePoint site in Explorer view and then open a Word document it will open in Word Viewer with no problem. Excel and PowerPoint documents open from SharePoint
    with no problem. This is only affecting Word documents with Word Viewer. When using the full version of Word the documents open fine. Within SharePoint we have tried activating the site collection feature "Open Document In Client Applications by Default"
    but it made no difference. We're completely at a loss how to make this work as there doesn't seem to be much information specifically pertaining to issues with Word Viewer.

    Hi Victoria.
    1. The PCs do not have Microsoft Office installed, nor are we using the Office Web Apps. "Word Viewer" means the Microsoft Word Viewer application available here (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4) that is available
    free for read-only viewing of Word documents.
    2. There are no errors when I open Word docs in Word Viewer. The Word Viewer application launches after clicking a Word document link in Sharepoint, but there is no file open in it. When that happens the IE11 Sharepoint window on the taskbar is flashing
    yellow, but when I click back to it there are no messages or alerts to click on.
    3. This issue does occur with all Word documents (.doc, .docx) in SharePoint. However, it does not occur when opening Word documents in the Word Viewer when they are local files or through IE11 from a non-SharePoint website like our local intranet.
    Those files will open with no problem in Word Viewer.
    4. I will try to get a screenshot, but we are working on creating images for deployment and I don't currently have a machine configured the same way. I'll work on reconfiguring one and post a screenshot.
    Thank you for your help!
