Opening .xls .doc and .ppt files

Sorry for the stupid question, but how do i set it so that when I click on one of the files I do not get a message saying that my Microsoft 30 day trail has expired?
I want it to automatically open into an appleworks application.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
First of all, AppleWorks cannot open ppt (PowerPooint) files. You will have to use Keynote (part of iWork), icWord by Panergy Software, Microsoft's free PowerPoint viewer (requires Classic) or one of the free Office clones.
Now, in the Office 2004 trial folder is an uninstaller for the trial. Run that. In typical Microsoft fashion though, if you never ran one of the Office trial apps, the uninstaller won't find anything to uninstall. Although you could just trash the folder, it would be better to run one of the Office apps (don't worry that it will say the trial has expired) then run the uninstaller.
Next, repair permissions using Disk Utility.
Now, highlight a known Excel document in the Finder, highlight it & choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box, click the triangle next to "Open With." Click on this drop-down menu & choose AppleWorks 6. If AppleWorks 6 is not a choice, choose "Other" & navigate to the AppleWorks 6 application. Now click the "Change" button under the text that asks if you want to open all documents like this with AppleWorks 6.
Personally, I wouldn't do this as quite a few of the newest Excel files can't be opened by the 5-year-old AppleWorks translators. I use the contextual menu to open the file with AppleWorks or open them from within AppleWorks. If it works, great, if not you'll have to use another program. icExcel from Panergy Software or an Office clone are probably best.

Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a .chm file work intermittently.

SUMMARY
Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a
.chm file (and the Baggage Files) only work intermittently. The
only solution appears to be deleting the Temporary Internet Files.
PROBLEM
1. I place the XLS, DOC, or PDF file in the Windows
sub-directory that corresponds to the RoboHelp project sub-folder
where the topic in which I’ll place the hyperlink exists.
2. I open the help project in RoboHelp HTML.
3. I right-click on the project’s Baggage Files
sub-folder that corresponds to the Windows sub-directory in which I
placed the XLS, DOC, or PDF file (in step 1).
4. I import the XLS, DOC, or PDF file.
5. I open the topic in which I’m going to place the
hyperlink in the WYSIWYG editor.
6. I “drag and drop” the Baggage File into the
topic (in the WYSIWYG editor) to create a link to it.
7. I save the changes and then generate HTML (.chm) help.
8. I open the .chm file and click the hyperlink. The XLS,
DOC, or PDF file may or may not open.
9. When the hyperlink works correctly, for DOC and XLS files,
a “File Download – Security Warning” dialog box
appears asking, “Do you want to open or save this
file?”. The buttons that are available are
“Open”, “Save”, and “Cancel”.
These buttons work then as one would expect. (When the hyperlink
works correctly for a PDF file, it simply opens the PDF file in a
new window; there’s no prompt to save, open, or cancel.)
10. When a hyperlink does NOT work, for DOC, XLS, and PDF
files, no dialog box or other visual message is displayed. Instead,
the sound that is associated with the “Exclamation”
program event is played (the “Windows XP
Exclamation.wav” file is the WinXP default).
Other Notes:
- The hyperlinks ALWAYS work when I view a topic using the
“View Selected Item” function (Ctrl+W) in the RoboHelp
HTML project.
- Once a hyperlink stops working, it will not start working
again until I delete all the Temporary Internet Files.
- A hyperlink will stop working even if Internet Explorer
(iexplore.exe) is closed the entire time.
WORKAROUND
Through trial and error, I have discovered that if a
hyperlink stops working, I can get it to work again using the
following steps:
1. Leave the .chm file open.
2. Open Internet Explorer.
3. Click Tools>Internet Options….
4. From the “Internet Options” dialog box, select
the “General” tab.
5. Under the “Temporary Internet Files” section,
click the “Delete Files…” button.
6. From the “Delete Files” dialog box, select
“Delete all offline content” and then click
“OK”. The files are deleted and the “Delete
Files” dialog box closes.
7. Click “OK” to close the “Internet
Options” dialog box.
8. Without closing Internet Explorer and without re-starting
the .chm file, all the hyperlinks that didn’t work before
will now work.
GENERAL SYSTEM INFORMATION
- Windows XP Pro, SP2
- Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180
- RoboHelp X5, 5.0.2 Build 801
- HTML (.chm) help project files exist on my local machine

- “Amount of disk space to use” is set to
“594” MB
“View Files…”
- An XLS or DOC file will be listed here if I click its
hyperlink and then click either “Open” or
“Save” from the “File Download – Security
Warning” dialog box.
- A file will appear here even if I click “Save”
and then click “Cancel” from the subsequent “Save
As” dialog box.
- If I click “Cancel” from the “File
Download – Security Warning” dialog box, the file does
not appear in the Temporary Internet Files folder.
- When a file does appear in the Temporary Internet Files
folder, its Internet Address is displayed similar to the following:
“ms-its:C:\PrimaryProjectFolder\ProjectName.chm::/SubFolderName/FileName.xls”
“View Objects…”
Here’s a list of all the program files that appear:
- “Microsoft Office Template and Media Control”
(Last Accessed 12/13/06) (Version 12,0,6024,0)
- “Shockwave ActiveX Control” (Last Accessed
12/14/06) (Version 10,1,4,20)
- “Shockwave Flash Object” (Last Accessed
12/18/06) (Version 9,0,28,0)
- “Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool”

- “WUWebControl Class” (Last Accessed 12/13/06)
(Version 5,8,0,2469)
Today is 12/18/06 so the only program file that is listed as
having been “Last Accessed” today is the
“Shockwave Flash Object”.
REQUEST FOR HELP
I really want to include certain PDF, DOC, and XLS files in
their native format in a .chm file. However, I need a better
solution to my problem than the one I discovered. What I really
want is to avoid the entire problem altogether.
Have anyone seen this before or have any suggestions?

You wont be able to do that. The embedded objects would appear as images only.

Trouble opening downloaded .doc and pdf files

I have suddenly been unable to open .doc word files or pdfs through Safari. I download them and they move to the downloading arrow area, but when I click on them, word documents show this dialogue box:
Safari can’t open the file.
Safari can’t open the file “GERMAN_QUIZ-2.doc” because no available application can open it.
PDFs open but the text is corrupted - pictures show ok but where text is, it just appears as a graduated solid black blurry line.
I haven't changed any settings or downloaded anything odd, as far as I am aware.
Any ideas?

Thanks - I also removed an Adobe file and I can now open them.
I used this method to open the pdf's and if I choose Open With Adobe then it opens. If I open with Preview then it's corrupted as below. Photos come out but text looks like this.
Why has preview suddenly stopped opening these pdfs. (It used to work).
Thanks for your help

Can't open doc and rtf files on my nokia e61i

hi!I am new here,i have a problem with my e61i,I can not open doc and rtf files,if someone has a clue to tell me how can i fix the problem i'll be gratefull

I don't know if this will help but I had a similar problem that started yesterday. I have two macs. Once can't open MS Office files from the other Mac but can open Office files on each Mac. Drove me nuts for about 2 hours today - on the phone with Apple twice and Microsoft once. Finally found a similar post from 2007 that suggested to turn off and on file sharing by unchecking the "Share files and folders using AFP", on both computers and rebooting. That fixed it.
Funny thing, it was only with Office files I created since updating the software last week. Old Office files opened fine.

Opening PDF and PPT files without using BuddyApi

Hi, please excuse my newness.
I'm wanting to open pdf and ppt files through Director (I'm using 11.5) but I'm struggling with finding the right code to make it work. I saw that a lot of people are recommending Buddy Api. However I'm cheap and was hoping that there would be a way to open files without having to resort to using/paying for this xtra. Is there a reason why opening files in Director seems to be such a hassle?
Thanks in advance.

I'll also add that from my understanding, an unregistered version of Buddy API can be used in commercial applications.
Buddy API is a great Xtra and if you're going to be developing applications with Director, this Xtra will be a valuable purchase. Buddy Xtra is recommended a lot in the Director forums for a good reason.

I should further say the files I sent are .xlsx and .docx files. They look fine my end and I send such files all the time without problems.
However, I did try to cheat by going in via the Safari onto my 'live' online email account and the Safari automatically transfers them to winmail.dat files with the same result.
Ahh - have just been on using my PC this time and you are right, it seems that the service provider does the transfer and then when my outlook opens the file (on the PC), it must reconvert to .xlsx etc again.
Very strange.
Ergo, I guess the question should be how I open wimail.dat files ??

Also, sorry -- one more thought:
When I run through the "Troubleshoot compatibility" it tells me that something is incompatible ("issues found: Incompatible Application"). when it asks me, "which version of Windows did this program work on before?" it doesn't give me windows 7 as an option.

Uploading .doc and .pdf files from iPad

Is there any such free app in App Store to upload .doc and .pdf files from my iPad mini to Internet?
I usually upload my Resume on different job portals, but it is not possible from Safari or Chrome browsers on my iPad mini, I have to do it from my PC every time just to upload a single file. Looking for a solution to this reported issue.
Thank you..

There is no native ability to upload files other than photos and videos using the built in Safari browser.
Look into iCab Mobile for file uploads to websites. Its not free though, and I'm not aware of a free alternative at this point.

You will need to transfer the file to iCab to be able to upload it though.

APEX- How to open world document (and other files) stored in a blob column?

Hi,
I have an application developed in Oracle Apex 3.2.1 and RDBMS Oracle 9.2.0.8 (SUN SOLARIS SPARC 64 BITS).
I have a table called BAC_ARQUIVO, with the following structure:
CREATE TABLE BAC_ARQUIVO
(NAME VARCHAR2(4000), /* Name of the file stored in BLOB column */
SUBJECT VARCHAR2(4000), /* A brief description about this file stored */
ID NUMBER, /* An identification of this file - It´s a PK column of this table*/
BLOB_CONTENT BLOB, /* Blob field that store diferent kind of files - XLS, DOC, PPT, PDF, EXE, ZIP, etc);
MIME_TYPE VARCHAR2(4000) /* Identification about which kind of file is stored on BLOB field */
The field BLOB_CONTENT of this table can store:
- Executable files;
- MS-World Documents (DOC);
- Zip Files (ZIP);
- Ms-Excel Files (XLS);
- Ms-Powerpoint files (PPT);
- Adobe documents (PDF);
Actually, in this APEX application, i have developed a interactive Report in which the user can download these files to desktop without problems.
But now, my user would like to know if it´s possible that APEX application can OPEN some of these files stored on this BLOB column WITHOUT download it.
My user would like to see a hiperlink (or button) that, if pressed/acessed, can open a new page (or a page inside application) with the document. He doesn´t need to edit this oppened file. He only wants to see it.
For example, if the file stored in the blob column is ms-word type , so the application will open a MS-WINDOWS application with these file.
Is it possible?
I saw in this forum that it´s possible to open a file stored on "/i/" directory, but i need to open the file stored in BLOB column. I don´t want to store the file in operational system of the server.
Could any one demonstrate to me how it could be done?
Best regards,
Sergio Coutinho

Hi Sergio,
This link might be helpful:
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/apex/r31/apex31nf/apex31blob.htm
Also refer the BLOB Download Format Mask :
{message:id=9716335}
Here I have given the format mask for APEX 4.0, which will slightly differ for 3.2.1 and proposed changes
in the format mask are:
1) Format Mask: DOWNLOAD
2) Content Disposition: Inline
This will be achieved with it:

Office Docs and Excel files mysteriously converting to tmp files

I experienced this twice this month with two different customers. What happens is certain folders with excell and word docs will be moved inside other folders and the files will be gone only some random character file.tmp (
54F81A6B.tmp) The first incident happend on a synology diskstation DS213 Shared Drive where the only fix was to reset the Diskstation and restore from backup. The second incident was on a Windows Home server share. Both computers
are windows 7 pro 64 with office 2013. Im starting to think this is a bug with office 2013. I scanned for viruses and none found. Where do i start to resolve this?

Hi,
Did the issue only occur with the Office files? Do you install some sync software?
I recommend we try to install the Office 2013 SP1.
Next, as far as I know, the Office temp file will display when we open it or use it. We may try to use
Process Monitor to collect which program open/block the Office threads during you copying/pasting.
