Staroffice 8 update 6 - unable to open files witten using Mac-Word

Hi,
after installing the product update 6 any attempt to open a file written using Mac-Word in so-writer fails. Is my installation wrong? Or is it a new bug in SO 8? And: Is there a workaround?
Trying to open the same files in Openoffice 2.2 works fine.
Thanks,
Reiner

From your description, the only thing I can think of is that SO8 comes with Mastersoft filters for MacWord up to version 5.1. It may be possible that SO8-PP6 is reading something in the file header and trying to open the file using the Mastersoft filter. OOo does not have the filters.
To test I would try to open the file making sure to select the filter to be used, rather than using auto open.

  • Unable to open file in browser (Microsoft Word Web App, PDFs, etc) after updates

    We just updated with the recent updates, and now are unable to open any documents in the browser in IE. We are using version IE 11. This is not an issue in Firefox or Chrome. Does anyone have any fixes to this? This seems like some sort of compatability
    issue, but we are running our browser in compatability mode.
    Our temporary fix is just to have documents open in the client program, but this really isn't as convenient.

    etoile, can you check the ULS logs on the OWA server at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\OfficeWebApps\Data\Logs\ULS\, reproduce your error, and see what is captured in the log?

  • Unsolved: unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document

    I'm trying to open a presentation I made some time ago, it is a .key file I used to open without any problems. Now the message appears:
    "Unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document".
    I tried the solution described here, but it didn'd work: i change extension to .zip, unzip it and there is no index file. There are only pictures from the presentation in .tiff
    I also sent the file to my friends and they had the same problem opening it. It's very strange, I've successfully opened it before. And the problem is only with THIS file!
    Please help me out!

    Have you tried to create a new Keynote Presentation? Do you have another previously saved Keynote file you can try to open? These will make sure it is a problem with this specific presentation and not the whole program.
    Try to delete the Keynote Preferences. They are located in the folder Macintosh HD>Users>your username>Library>Preferences and titled com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist.
    Your profile shows that you are still on Mc OS 10.6.6, is that true? You might try to update to 10.6.7 as I believe that there was a font issue fixed in this update (I don't know for sure since I am still on 10.5.8).
    Try those and report back and we will see what we can come up with.

    What steps did you use to add the Replicat?  Can you list those commands out.
    Also, does this file actually exist on the server where Replicat is running: C:\app\Oracle\product\gg\dirdat\tr000000

  • Unable to Open Files without Extensions

    Ever since updating to Mavericks and iWork 2013, I've noticed that Pages seems unable to open files that lack formal file extensions and the OS seems unable to accurately identify what type of file something is. For example, if I double-click on a Word document that doesn't have ".doc" or ".docx" in its filename (either shown or hidden), Pages will launch and then say the file "can't be opened." If I then change the filename to include ".doc" or ".docx" and try again, Pages will open the file successfully. It doesn't seem limited to iWork, though. Today I tried opening a PDF file that lacked a file extension. Pages launched and told me the file "can't be opened." I then added ".pdf" to the filename, double-clicked on it again, and the file successfuly opened in Preview. Any idea why the OS seems to be unable to tell what kind of files things are all of a sudden? Or why iWork and other apps seem unable to recognize and open files they used to be able to recognize and open? I don't have time to add file extensions to all my files! — Also, I thought this was a mature UNIX-based OS, not Windows 3.1...

    Didn't realize I could edit my original post, so now this comment is superfluous...

  • PLEASE HELP! Unable to render any Quicktime format - after effects error unable to open file (-1610153459)

    I just can't render any type of Quicktime file in AE CC 2014. I'm on Windows 8.1.
    Even in CS6 was it not possible, but I never really used any Quicktime filetypes.
    Normally I just rendered to .h264, but now that's only available via the insane slow Adobe Media Encoder, I want to use the Quicktime -> h.264 option, but it's just not possible.
    I also want to render some footage to the Avid DNxHD codec, but this is also not possible.
    Doesn't matter what type of footage, dslr footage, pictures, AE solids. Everytime I want to render in a Quicktime file I get this error:
    AE error: Rendering error while writing to file (File-Location). Unable to open file. (-1610153459)
    Installed the latest Windows version of Quicktime, didn't help...
    I saw some topics about this, but they didn't provide a good solution. All they discussed was the hardware of the computer. I have enough space available and render to a NTFS drive.
    Please can someone help me with this!

    Yes! I just solved my own problem. I still think that the internet doesn't provide an easy to find answer, so I will post this.
    I had the latest version of Quicktime, but this version causes the problem. After some searching I finally found a page on the Apple website that confirms this.
    Updating to QuickTime 7.4 may cause issues while rendering footage in Adobe After Effects - Apple Support
    So I uninstalled my latest version of Quicktime and installed version 7.4.1. Everything works now the way it's supposed to!

    Dear nokia service manager,,
    Iam sivakumar using the nokia N79 handset.Iam getting the message like this (Error message :Unable to open .File type not supported)when i was trying to open the video file shooted by some other camera.I have tried changing the format of the file..but no use ..i dont get ant suitable software converter in the internet.So kindly look into this matter as i need this very uregently...
    hope its a mandatory feature as laptop and mobile interface are simple task nowadays in mobile...
    pls reply me..its very urgent...thanku..

    You could try Videora (http://www.videora.com/) - the downside here is that they have specific versions for specific phones, and sometimes it will makea file that plays perfectly in the desired phone but can't be shared to other models. The don't show a version for the N79, but try the N96 one because the N96 is the most similar OS to yours that they offer.

  • Unable To Open File.......... The system cannot find the file specified

    hi all.
    First time poster.
    i have a windows VM running on my macbook...
    have had no troubles for the last 2 months using hourly...
    have just restarted the mac, and have come up with the unable to open file error...
    i'm confused (extremely new to mac)
    is there anything i need / can do to fix? (had a heap of stuff i needed on the windows VM)
    thanks

    Welcome to the Community,
    I can't tell you what was causing this, but according to the support bundle you provided, three of the required .vmdk files are missing (Virtual Disk-s001.vmdk, Virtual Disk-s002.vmdk, and Virtual Disk-s003.vmdk). These files however still existed when you used the VM at "2015-05-23T12:29:04.017+10:00" (see vmware.log).
    Since the VM is running on a snapshot and the base .vmdk files have a time stamp of April, 14th, you should be able to recover these three files from a recent backup (assuming you are regularly backing up your system). You may also want to check whether there's a lost+found folder on your system which contains the files!?

  • URGENT - Error "Unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document" - and there is no index file (so the usually suggested solution doesn't work)

    Hi there,
    As you see in the heading, I am getting the error "Unable to open file because it isn't a valid Keynote document". There has been a number of threads on this and there seems to be a usual work around that works in many cases, by changing the file extension to .zip and then looking for the index file and making some more extension changes...unfortunately, in my case (and it also happened to others), there is no index file, so the usually suggested solution doesn't work...Can someone please help? I am working on a tight deadline and would like to try and recover the file.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Best,
    Just a regular apple user
    PS: any other presentation opens fine in Keynote (09)

    Have you tried to create a new Keynote Presentation? Do you have another previously saved Keynote file you can try to open? These will make sure it is a problem with this specific presentation and not the whole program.
    Try to delete the Keynote Preferences. They are located in the folder Macintosh HD>Users>your username>Library>Preferences and titled com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist.

  • Adobe creative suite cs5: unable to open files in photoshop. unable to drag objects on illustrator..

    Adobe creative suite cs5: unable to drag objects on illustrator or indesign. unable to open files in photoshop, brush doesnt work in photoshop.
    In the past I uninstalled adobe creative suite cs5 from my laptop, used the adobe creative cloud cleanup tool, restarted and then reinstalled the programs and everything worked again for about a week. Now everything has gone back to the way it was again and this time the uninstalling and reinstalling isnt helping.
    Any ideas?
    Im pretty desperate!!
    Thanks

    Hi Alisa
    I'm having exactly the same problem. Uninstalled CS4 and reinstalled the 30 day trial of the Creative Cloud and it's stil having the same glitches, not opening in photoshop and not being able to drag/move objects in Illustrator or inDesign.
    Did you find a solution to this problem?
    Thanks

  • How to store SP2-0310: unable to open file errors in log file

    We are using oracle 10g on Linux platform.
    When we send scripts to the clients, then we also send a control file that executes all the sql files e.g.
    control.sql
    SPOOL test.log
    SELECT 'Start of Control File at:'||systimestamp from dual;
    SPOOL OFF
    @./dbscripts/00_insert_scripts.sql
    SPOOL test.log APPEND
    SELECT 'End of Control File at:'||systimestamp from dual;
    SPOOL OFFThe scripts are executed from SqlPlusW only by typing @control.sql
    The problem is that when SP2-0310: unable to open file error comes, it appears on the screen only. It does not go in the test.log file. Is there any way to store these errors in a file from SQLPlusW.
    Thanks.

    try mentioning full path....
    try
    @<fully qualified path>/00_insert_scripts.sql
    also check if the file has necessary permission
    ls -l <fully qualified path>/00_insert_scripts.sql

  • Photoshop automate photomerge unable to open files

    I am trying to use photoshop's automate photomerge function, but when I hit ok for the automatic photomerge, photoshop tells me it is unable to open file. I have tried opening the files separately and saving them as a different file type, no success. I have also tried reinstalling photoshop, just incase I may have accidentally deleted a plug-in, no success. This is the error message I get. It does this for all the image files I am trying to merge. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    I am able to open the files in Photoshop outside of automate photomerge. I took a few screen shots of my desktop to test out the action, when I do this the images captured are originally .png files. Photoshop photomerge gave me the error message above when I tired using the screen shots. I then opened the files in Photoshop, saved them as .psd files and tried the automate photomerge action again. I received the other error message above. I tried restoring my preferences, but no success. Thank you for the suggestion, bummed it did not work.

    For the benefit of anyone who experiences this error in IIS7, the IUSR_xxx user no longer exists. You must grant permissions to "IIS APPPOOL\hfmAppPool" instead (select the local machine as the "Location" if Windows Explorer complains).
    Similarly, for the benefit of those who get the error in HFM 11.1.2.1, security must be applied to the Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\product\FinancialManagement\Web folder.
