Problem attaching microsoft office files to yahoo, hotmail

I have had a lot of trouble attaching office files to my yahoo and hotmail email. I have tried doing it from safari and firefox, as well as moving my preferences folder, reseting safari, changins my cache preferences, and the people at apple were not very helpful on the phone. I do not think it is an issue with safari, as firefox has the same problem, and what are the chances of Yahoo and MSN doing changes to their site at the same time? Does anybody has a similar problem?

Reader has nothing to do with this, since Reader does not create any
files. You have some software that scans your pages to pdf. Before you
try to upload the file as an email attachment you should make sure your
scanning software closed the file. Then you should be able to attach it
to an email. If you cannot then the problem lies with your system, not
Reader, not gmail, nor yahoo.

  • Problem opening  Microsoft Office & PDF Email attachments

    Just got a Motorola Razr.  Having a problem opening Microsoft Office (e.g. Work, Excel) and PDF Email attachments.   Receive message "winmail.dat Unsupported file type".   Can open jpg files.  I have Quick Office, which is suppose to enable you to do this, but does not seem to make a difference.   Wonder if it is an Android 2.3.5 issue.  I used to have a Blackberry and this was not an issue.  This is a showstopper for me and I will return the phone if I can't read Microsoft Office and PDF files attached to emails.  My email server / client is Verizon.
    I would appreciate any recommendations.

    Hope this is one of those "better late than never" scenarios.
    The problem sounded familiar, and it's one that's been around for a long, long time.  I don't think it's a Razr problem, or a Droid problem, but it is about email clients.  I've had similar issues with email on computers.
    The problem starts with Outlook's RTF format.  It saves the document's formatting info (bold, underline, etc.) and other info in the winmail.dat file, and some email clients simply can't decode it. 
    The sender can change the format of what they're sending, though, and I believe that the most recent versions of Outlook can change those format setttings on a person-by-person basis (don't want to start a rumor here because I could be wrong about that).
    Just copy and paste the error message into Google (or your preferred search engine, and you'll see some info that might be helpful.

  • Can I upgrade my iCloud account to accept microsoft office files

    I cannot save my microsoft office files in cloud

    What system version are you running?  If it's Yosemite do you have iCloud Drive enabled in the System/iCloud preference pane?
    If so then go to the Finder preferences and add iCloud Drive to the sidebar window of Finder windows:
    Then when you click on that in the Finder's side bar you'll get this:
    iWork apps can automatically safe to the drive but with Office files you'll need to create a special folder like the OT's General Storage folder and save to that.  To access the files from another computer or device you'll have to download the file to that device to use it and then upload any edited version back to the folder.  You won't be able to access those files to edit via a browser like you can with the iWork apps.

  • Problems Installing Microsoft Office 2004 on 10.4.3!

    Hi all,
    A friend of mine just purchased 10.4.3 from the Apple Store for use with his G5 (the original single 1.8). My friend is not very skilled with computers, so I have been helping him get 10.4 running.
    • We wrote zeros to his hard drive.
    • We then did a fresh installation.
    • We then ran software update.
    • Apps like Photoshop Elements have installed without problems.
    Microsoft Office 2004 (Student and Teacher) will not install using the installer or drag-and-drop.
    • The installer finishes but the Office 2004 apps are not on the Hard Drive!
    • Drag-and-Drop encounters an error (-36 I think) and stops installing.
    Obviously, my friend is disappointed that Office will not install on a fresh OS - Please help!
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)

  • How to browse, view, open Microsoft Office files in Contribute CS4

    To browse or view Microsoft Office files (not Office 2007)in Contribute CS4: (I won't say how long it took me to figure this out!)
    Make sure Contribute is closed.
    Open C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Contribute CS4\Configuration\ViewableExtTypes.txt
    Add doc,xls,ppt to the list, save & close ViewableExtTypes.txt and restart Contribute/
    It doesn't work for Office 2007 file extensions.

    you are asking about Microsoft products and using a laptop, not a workstation Mac Pro.
    The Numbers and Pages Apple Communities. or MS Community if you want those.
    Importing and Exporting, but Numbers and Pages will not do a SAVE into other formats by default, and therefore have to keep using Export which is messy.

  • Any API to read Microsoft Office files in CLDC devices?

    Hello,
    Is there any API(Like Apache POI API, for J2SE) available to read Microsoft Office files in J2ME (CLDC)? I think Apache POI API can not be used in J2ME. Am I right?

    Use a product such as OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Google Docs, iWork, or Microsoft Office 2008 or newer. In the case of Word documents, you can also use TextEdit.

  • Problems with Microsoft Office

    I really don't know where to post this as I can't find a Discussion forum for it, please re direct me if this is....
    So I'm having a HUGE problem with Microsoft Office. I've had the Student addition, purchased it in a store, and have been using it since without any issues. Just yesterday, it told me I needed to download an update for it in the System Update. Well it downloaded without a problem, however during the installation it stalled and never completed. When I turned my computer back on, and did the System Update again, it said that my system was completely up to date. However, now the only too things in my Microsoft Office folder is PowerPoint and Excel. The other applications can not be located anywhere on my computer.
    Now is there a way for me to fix this. I no longer have the CD with Microsoft Office on it because I'm constantly traveling. I'm extremely annoyed because I rely on Entourage for my emails, don't really like the Mail application. I just want to know what to do. Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    When an installer 'stalls' during the installation, I'd guess you'd need to try reinstalling from the CD. I could be wrong though. Here is another forum that may help you if you don't get the answer here...

  • Problem with Microsoft office since new firefox installation

    I have never had a problem with Microsoft Office --ever. I can have 4+ windows open at once. Since installation the latest version of Firefox many things have changed.

  • "Program files" directory problem during Microsoft Office Customization Installer in non-English versions of Windows

    We have a document-level customization solution for Word and are experiencing problems during deployment in an environment running on terminal services. The OS (Windows 2012) is English and Word (2013) is non-English (German). 
    Installation is done into the "Program Files" folder correctly. But when trying to start a word document linked to the specific template. The "Microsoft Office Customization Installer" pops up with the error.
    "There was an error during installation"
    From: file:///C:/Programme/[CompanyName]/[Productname]/[Productname].vsto
    Downloading file:///c:/Programme/[CompanyName]/[Productname]/[Productname].vsto did not succeed.
    Exception: ....
    System.Deployment.Application.DeploymentDonwloadException: Download file:///C:/Programme/[Companyname]/Productname]/[Productname].vsto did not suceed. ---> System.Net.WebException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Programme\[Companyname]\[Productname]\[Productname].vsto'.
    ---> System.Net.WebException: ...... ---> System.IO.DirectoyNotFoundException......
    The problem seems to be that the installer is looking for C:\PROGRAMME instead of C:\PROGRAM FILES. C:\PROGAMME is the German localized name of PROGRAM FILES (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_Files).
    The installer installs the solution correctly deployed into c:\program files, but when the later a user tries to start it and the Microsoft Office Customization Installer is called, it tries to access the non-existing "c:\programme" folder. This
    doesn't exist, because Windows is English.
    Is there any thing related to deploying solutions on a platform which has different languages (mixing/matching of OS language and Office language?)
    Thank you for your help

    Hello,
    1. First, I would confirm with you whether you dealt with the localization for your document-level add-in?
    2. Did you use this way to define the Create a class that defines the post-deployment action part of Put the document of a solution
    onto the end user's computer (document-level customizations only) and did you get the path with Environment.SpecialFolder enum?
    To handle this, I would recommend you consider using Environment.SpecialFolder to set that property.
