Problem to open an office document

Hi,
When I try to open a attached file in Mail, Mail ask me to choose an application ( Word and excel only, Pdf is fine)
If I open a Word document from my desktop, it's fine.
When I open an Excel document from my desktop, I have an error 10660.
Could you help me?
thank you

If the Excel application is in the trash then you either need to empty the trash, or move the application out of the trash and install it properly in the Applications folder.

Problem to open a *.ppt document

Hi,
I got some problems to open a PowerPoint document in a content area where a file url was added.
The result is a SSO Error.
I can save on the disk the document and then I can read it, but I cannot open it directly from the web page. This problem does not appear in all cases. For certain computer, it works.
I find it very strange and bizarre.
If you got a solution and reason why it does not work, please help me.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely yours.

hi farouk,
if this works on some machines and some others are causing problems this will most likely be a browser problem. could you compare the browsers (and versions) used on the different machines. maybe it helps to delete the browser cookies and delete the browser cache. if this does not help the exact error message would be helpful.
thanks,

Why do I have to logon each time when opening a office Document from a SharePoint 2010 Library

Hello guys,
I'm facing some design issue with sharepoint 2010 and Microsoft office, hope you can help me to fix this.
Why do I have to logon each time when opening a office Document from a SharePoint Library when I'm already authenticated via the browser?
Please help me to skip this authentication when i try to open office documents from sharepoint library.
Thanks
Jeyaraman S

Hi Jeyaraman, in addition to Alex's solution, check the following browser settings:
Make sure “Enable protected mode” in security tab & “Require server verification” in “sites” area are unchecked. In “Custom level,” choose “Automatic logon” way at the bottom.

Making iWork the default apps for opening Microsoft Office documents

Is there a way to make Pages, Numbers and Keynote the default apps for opening Microsoft Office documents, such that if I double-click a Word document it launches Pages and opens, etc.? I know I can do it by double-clicking the Office document and dragging it to the appropriate iWork app in the dock, but it would be nice to have it happen by default. That way I can put Office in my rearview mirror!

Fantastic - worked exactly as advertized. Thank you both!! Office is now a distant memory (except when I have to save in MS formats to send files to the unfortunate masses).
Best regards,

My Iwork and my Office don't open PC Office documents!

Hello everyone! I've got a degree in computer science, but I'm new to mac. I've come from the pc.
I've got a extrange problem in my macbook.I've been surfing to the internet for a solution during 1 hour. Also I've phone apple care suport during 45 minutes and I still don't have the solution. I'm kind of desesperate.
The problem is that Iwork (and also Office for Mac) just don't open my PC Office files (any of them), not xls, doc, ppt... I can open them in the PC, not in the mac.
It just appears an "invalid file" error. The file never opens.
If my Mac it's not going to be able to open MS PC Office documents it's just going to be a nice paperweight, cause my job requieres those files. Got thousands of them, and I recieve daily.
To put all my PC office file to my macbook I used an external USB hard drive. I've read on the internet that sometimes the "doc" document gets corrupted when it's stored in the USB HD. I used it right (removing saftely), so I think that it's not this, but I've got nothing more... even apple support don't know nothing.
I like my notebook, but I've to solve this problem. If it's not solved I'll have to return again to €!$$?? windows and I will have lost a lot of money.
Thanks everyone.

I've been looking into it and it seems problem is not only with .doc and .xls documents.
For some reason, many files of my folder "documents" (and also all the "sub"folders) are, in a way or other, corrupted.
I've tried 2 times to put all this information from windows (in win files are not corrupted, I've checked it) to my USB external HD and then I put them into my mac. During this process files become corrupted!
And it's so strange, because I've copied more files from my pc to my mac this way and seem they're working right. Anyway now I'm trying with diferent file systems and see what I get.
So it's not problem with pages o office mac, it's problem of the MAC OS X or my external hard drive.

Problems with open an Indesign-Document over Network

Hallo,
we have a specialized problem with opening indesign-documents over network. Our users works with windows-pc (windows7) and adobe CS5 and CS6 and they will use there documents which are on our macserver 4.0 which works on OS X 10.10.2.
Sometimes the usurers become this Message

Please help me.

@Naga Sai J – you cannot open an InDesign CS4 file in the previous version.
But you can export an exchange file format for InDesign CS3.
Go to File/Export and chose INX for export: "InDesign CS3 Interchange-Format (INX)"
That .inx file could be opened with InDesign CS3.
After opening the .inx file, examine it well!
Some things might have changed (things regarding to newer or changed features from InDesign CS4).

App-V sequenced Office applications Doesn't open/recognize Office documents by default

Clients are using sequenced MS Office and everytime they want to open a save word doc for example they have to open it through opening a MS Word Document.
By default it doesn't show with a word icon neither. if not they shall open it through "open with" and selecting Application Virtualisation Client which would also bring up "Choose Application" each time they wanna open it.
is there any way you can open it and recognize with the right Office App Icon by default.
Many Thanks in advance.

If file types are not associated then there's either something wrong with the package or how it's been published.

Opening microsoft office documents from link in flash site

I have created a flash site, (its an internal site so nobody
outside the network will be able to access it) and I have numerous
documents linked in it. The documents all reside on the same server
as the flash website. When I click on the link to open a microsoft
office file (I have .doc, .xls, and .ppt on there) IE gives this
error:
Action canceled
Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you
requested. The page might be temporarily unavailable. I have
tried adding the domain to trusted sites under tools->options,
but that doesn't seem to work. After I get the Action canceled
error, if i hit enter or click the Go button next to the address
line, it will then go on and open the file. There is some kind of
communication error I can't figure out. The odd thing is that .pdf
files are not affected. They opened just fine from the get-go. Only
Office files. Is there a line of actionscript that needs to be in
there? Or a setting in IE that I am not thinking of? PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks

ie has added security for activex controls... so you will

I have a problem with a Numbers document, which I created 3 weeks ago and step by step extended with additional functionality. I'm not anymore able to open the document. I can rename the document and maybe - I didn't try - delete the document. But when I'm clicking on the file's icon, the error message appears "Tabelle kann nicht geöffnet werden". It seems that the file is defect but how I it be revived. What steps I have to do to re-open the document?

Problems with opening Indesign CS5 document in CS4

I have the CS4 Design Premium Academic package and am working with another graphic designer who uses CS5 - Indesign. When trying to open her InDesign CS5 file that she exported to the CS4 format I received the following message - " cannot open brochure.indd. Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign. I called Adobe and they suggested to export the CS4 file to the idml format. We did that and when I opened the file many formatting features- such as no margins or grids appeared. Any suggestions - I don't want to upgrade to CS5 if I don't need to. Also, any suggestionsthe cheapest place to upgrade if I need to?

She didn't export it for CS4. If she had it wouldn't be an INDD file. She needs to export to IDML and you need to realize that this document may not look like it does in CS5.
You do need to upgrade if you want to work successfully with this other designer. Worth noting, in case you don't, is that you cannot upgrade individual components of the suite. Personally, I recommend Design Premium as the best bang for the buck.

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.
Thank you,

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.
Thank You, Pallav S. Srivastav ----- If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered.

Office Document open in browser

Hi, I am trying to open an office document directly in the browser, but IE (V8) always open the modal dialog to open or save. I have tried differents ways and read almost every threads about this topic, some of the solutions that I tried are:
- Modify Header to inline:
response.setContentType ("application/msword" );
response.setHeader ("Content-Transfer-Encoding","7bit");
response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition","inline;filename=" + vo.getFileName());
This solution in many ways.
- Use Iframes:
"a target="myFrame" href="http://www.polityka-spoleczna.lubuskie.pl/pl/content/download/92/350/file/plik%20testowy1.doc">LINK DOC</a>
<iframe name="myFrame" >"
- Use ActiveX
function loadworddoc(){
doc = new ActiveXObject("Word.Application"); // creates the word object
doc.Visible=true; // display Word window
doc.Documents.Open("C:\\temp\\doc1.doc"); // specify path to document
I know that this topic has been treated in other posts but none of these has solved my problem, I dont know if is because de IE Version (8), I will appreciate if someone con help me with this issue.
It doesnt matter if the solution implies activex or some third party API free or commercial.

response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition","inline;filename=" + vo.getFileName()); This is the line that causes it to open in a browser.
The problem here is that you are using a link to a document...or it appears that way. I dont have any experience with a link to a direct document.
What I've always done is in the Java class I read the document into an object, then write that object to the ServletOutputStream.
So something like this:
1) Set Headers
2) Get word document into some sort of Java object
3) Write that object to the ServletOutputStream
My documents are mostly built on the fly, so hence I need an object anyhow. If you store your files in the database, you will need one too.
I personally would attack it the same way if my files were on the OS as I'd never want a direct link to a physical file. Rather I'd want a link to a page which opens a file.

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?
