Problem opening Office documents

My problem is minor, but frustrating. If I receive an Office document via e-mail, clicking on the attachment in the e-mail does not open Word, Excel, etc. I have to first save it to desktop, open the program and then open the document. Any advice?

Hello! If using a two button mouse right click on the attachment and if not do a control click on the attachment and you can open it by whichever program you wish. Tom

  • Problem opening Office documents from KM

    Hello, I have some problem opening Office documents from KM.
    We stored a lot of office documents (Excel, Word ecc.) in a File System repository (the standard repository "/documents"), when I open one of these files, before to view the document, a little logon window appears, it asks portal user's credentials.
    If the user presses the "Cancel" button the logon window will be closed and the document showed, but on the next attempt to open an office file the system will asks again the user information .
    If the user gives the right information the documents will be showed and the logon window does not appear again..
    How con I avoid the logon request for each Office document in my repository?
    Any suggestion??
    Best Regards

    Thank you a lot Brad!!
    We use Office 2003 and the note 549610 solves our issue!!

  • Problem opening Office documents from the desktop

    Hi all,
    I'm a new Mac user who just installed the Student/Teacher edition of Office for Mac 2004 (yes, i removed the trial version first), and I'm having trouble opening my documents when I double click the icons on the desktop. I get an error message that says "Unexpected error occured (error code -10660)". I can only open the docs if I open the appropriate program first.
    Is this normal for a Mac? My PowerBook is only 1 month old, and I don't want my unfamiliarity w/Macs to cloud a serious problem if there is one.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    RH

    I learned something new:
    I hit Control+Click and selected Open With and clicked Word, and I got a new error message telling me that I couldn't use that application b/c it was in the trash. The only thing in my Trash is my Test Drive version, which just expired. When I dragged the Test Drive folder to my desktop, I was able to double click any Office doc and open it directly.
    I've clearly made a mistake in uninstalling the Test Drive version. How can I fix this, and do I need to remove (and re-install) my complete version of Office to do so?
    Thanks,

  • When I send open office documents to a PC user (even saved and sent in the word format), the document reaches with serious format changes and is rendered unusable to the PC user. How to overcome the problem??

    When I send open office documents to a PC user (even saved and sent in the word format), the document reaches with serious format changes and is rendered unusable to the PC user. How to overcome the problem??

    I don't use OpenOffice (I have it on my internal just to play around with, but seldom even open it). I do use MS Word and have few problems sharing files - it's usually a font issue so I tend to use MS fonts for documents that I know will need to be shared.
    Unless you need to make collaborative changed to the document, you could always save it as a pdf file. With Acrobat Pro you can even save a pdf file to a Word document with very little change in formatting.
    If I were you - and you have a need for .doc or .docx files to travel and play nicely - I'd just invest in MS Office. If you don't have to send a Word file, try pdf.

  • Problem to open Office documents from Sharepoint

    Hello All,
    We have published SharePoint 2013 (NTLM authentication) via TMG 2010. However, we are having the following issue:
    When users try to open (https connection) any Office Documents to Office 2013 they get prompted for credentials, then after they provide credentials they get "Sorry, we couldn't open <URL of the document>". The prompt for credentials is ok because
    persistent cookies are not option for us. We don’t have Office Web Apps in use and we want to open documents to client application. Our company users machines are Windows 7, Office 2013 and Internet Explorer 10/11.
    I made some tests and everything work fine with:
    Windows 7, Office 2010 and Internet Explorer 10/11
    Windows 7, Office 2013 and Internet Explorer 8
    Almost fine:
    Windows 7, Office 2013 and Firefox (latest). With Firefox it works if I open any Office document from summary link list but not if I try to open from inside document library. If I open from document library (right click) to new tab or to new window it works
    fine.
    Any ideas what’s going on? It must be something with IE 10/11 and Office 2013. I also tried with TMG persistent cookie and then I can open Office documents with IE 10/11.
    I also checked with fiddler what happens and I can see that everything stops to 401 error.

    Hello Miikkal,
    You need to enable SharePoint class in IE. Please follow this
    blog and follow this
    article.
    Once, this is done you can Enable all the IE settings to load for Intranet and Trusted zone settings
    Put your site in compatibility mode and trusted zone
    Also, make sure that 2 versions of Office suite is not installed on the system.  Eg. Lync 2013 and Office 2010 on one single machine
    What happen when you by pass your TMG server. To do this we need to make host entry for URL directed to APP server IP Address.

  • 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? 

  • An extra prompt appears for Credentials Opening Office Document in Workspac

    Hi,
    Anybody have any knowledge about this issue? and how to solve these issue?
    *6959959* An extra prompt appears for Credentials Opening Office Document using Internet Explorer with Smartcut or from EPM Workspace.
    If a security agent with a cookie-based session management mechanism is used, opening Microsoft Office documents from Microsoft Internet Explorer sometimes another prompt for credentials is displayed. This occurs because Microsoft Office issues an HTTP OPTIONS request when attempting to open documents. This OPTIONS request does not contain the same session-related cookies as requests made from the browser, so the security provider issues the prompt for credentials. Please see http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;838028 for details about how Microsoft Office and Microsoft Internet Explorer open documents.
    To resolve this issue, reconfigure the security provider by disabling authentication for OPTIONS requests.
    Thanks in Advance.

  • 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.

  • Open Office Documents? (.dot)

    Anyone know of a viewer for the iPad that recognized Open Office documents? I have GoodReader which is great. Especially since it connects to Clouds. However, it doesn't know what to do with these docs.

    Some .dot documents are Microsoft Word Templates. They may be set up with formatting and things like a company logo , return address and signature line. Can yours be opened by Word?
    You might experiment with one, and see what happens if you change the suffix to .doc.
    I recall from several years ago at work, that .dot documents were sometimes identified by Norton as containing a virus.

  • How to open Office documents

    The iPhone Mail program can open MS Office documents, and also iWork documents. I'm pretty sure I was able to do the same in the fourth beta, using a UIWebView. It might have been really late at night and a lot of tiredness involved though, so I can be wrong.
    Any way, is there a way to open Office documents and/or iWork documents, just like Mail do? UIWebView doesn't complain when I give it an office document to load (it does when I try to load e.g. an .rtf or .psd file), but I just get a blank page. Isn't that strange?

    Aha, your right, Office documents will only render on the device, not the on the simulator. I wonder why though...
