Strange problem when opening word doc situated in WLS virtual dir

Hi all,
we have a strange problem when opening word doc
situated in C:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\forms\webutil
we put some word docs there and tried to open from forms using for example web.show_document('http://wp0606:9001/forms/webutil/mug00103.doc', '_blank');
no problem using FF, however in IE8 the word doc is shown in its binary format, this also happens when we try to open the doc in IE8
however when we google and search for instance for a test.doc and then click on this url a file save dialog is shown
that's why we believe that this might be due to a configuration issue of WLS
any help would be greatly appreciated

I think you have 2 ways to go here. Figure out what html is from wherever weblogic gets it, meaning you have to delve into the docs, snoop
around in directories and find what it must be sending (This is going to be unavoidable if you are going to change what weblogic is doing.
Sooner or later you have to try to figure out where it gets this stuff from)
or
you can experimentally snoop on your url with a tool like wget or curl. These are fundamental web tools.
The latter is always a useful thing to be able to do. (you need to formulate a query to get the content-type).
Whoever managed to get weblogic to serve any files in the first place probably can figure this out.

  • Error when opening word doc

    When opening a word doc in pages 08 I get a pop-up saying "couldn't contact spell checker" The only option is to click "ok", but when I do the message immediately reappears! The only way out of the loop is to force quit. Has anyone else had this problem? For what it's worth, pages (when creating a new file) and my other programs seem to perform spell check functions just fine.

    I found if I keep hitting clicking the "OK" button on the error message, eventually the file opens and the message goes away, temporarily (granted this has been for relatively short documents). As you start manuvering through the document, the message periodically appears. I can't tell why or when it appears; it seems random.
    I've tried running Onyx and fixing program links but to no avail.
    I also noticed that the document doesn't open up as an untitled document (re: Pages 2.0) but opens up with the original filename with a ".pages" extension.

  • Strange problem when opening new message.

    I have a rather annoying problem when I open a newly received SMS from a particular contact (lets call him Bill).
    When I open the new message from Bill, either by swiping to unlock or touching a banner message at the top of the screen. Instead to being shown the message itself, I will automatically be taken to the 'start new message' screen with none of our message history (i.e. as if I am starting to type an entirely new message to Bill)
    I can then cancel this and return to myself and Bill's normal message stream.
    Any ideas how to get around this annoyance? Thank you.

  • Formatting is off when opening Word docs in Pages and vice versa

    I recently decided to switch from Windows to Mac and bought a MacBook. I used to use Word on my Windows computer and now when I open .doc or .docx files in Pages, the formatting is off, i.e. bullets, tabs, spacing, etc. This formatting problem also happens when other people use Word to open my files that I created in Pages and saved as a .doc. Is there some fix for this so that I don't have to reformat each document that was created in Word but that I now open in Pages?

    For maximum compatibility I think you need to use Word for Mac or OpenOffice.

  • I'm having a problem sending a word doc via email. I have Mac for Office 08, when I save the document as a .doc or .docx, and send it to someone, they receive it as a blank document. Yet, when I open it on my Mac, it has a "word" icon. How do I fix?

    I'm having a problem sending a word doc via email. I have Mac for Office 08, and I'm using Mavericks OS. When I save the document as a .doc or .docx, and send it to someone, (doesn't matter if its safari, chrome or firefox or on my yahoo or gmail accounts) they receive it as a blank document. Yet, when I open it on my Mac, it has a "word" icon and I can read it. How do I fix?

    I suggest you post on the Microsoft Mac forums since it's their software you're having issues with.

  • Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1

    Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1. Have newest Mavericks OS.

    I could open .doc and .docx files when I originally purchased Pages 4.3 in July 2013. After software was updated to 5.1 January 2014 I can no longer open any .doc or .docx files. Now, when I try to open one, is says for example: "PET.doc" can't be opened.
    **You, know what? I just tried to save a pages document and it won't even let me do that. Saying I don't have permission to move. I double checked my sharing & permissions and that's not the problem. I can't even export the file to anything else (pdf, word, etc). Says the same thing: "Document.pages couldn't be moved because you don't have permission to access folder. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info."
    So it seems the entire app is crap. Although like I said it worked fine pre-update.

  • Preserving HTML links when converting Word docs

    I created a document in MS Word for Mac 2011 (ver 14.5.2)
    When I used Adobe Pro 11 to convert the document into pdf format, all the HTML links are lost. 
    I have tried converting from MS Word, opening the word version with Adobe Pro, printing from MS Word to pdf.  Nothing works. Even opened the MS Word document using Apple's Pages software, re-formatted and then converted to pdf.  Still no live links.
    Best work around so far is to convert and then use the edit feature in Adobe Pro to re-insert the HTML links as invisible rectangles on top of the still-blue-and- underlined text.  So to the user it looks like the html links are still live, but what a pain for editor.
    I have seen this issue raised in other posts, but none of the answers seem to work. And the work around described above is clearly less than ideal.
    Very curious, as reading other posts, the issue apparently does not arise when the word doc converted from a Wintel computer.  But I can't imagine Adobe writes software one way for Intel and another for Mac.

    Imagine it. this has been 15 year fued between Microsoft and Adobe.  Adobe Claims that Mac office doesn't hav ethe proper hooks for URLs. Microsoft says the fault is with adobe.
    Since a Word Created file will work when opened in the windows version  and saved as a PDF, the links work just fine. Just opening and not saving, but converted to Pdf does nothing to the actual Word File.
    They had it fixed last year  in Acrobat X if your dropped the file on to Acroabt directly. But broke it again with the upgrade to XI.
    IF you have iWork and Open the word file in Pages then exported as a Word.docx file then create The PDF the links will become active.  Also if you Open in OpenOffice and export as docx file the resulting PDF when open in Word and PDF is Created the links will become active.
    If you have neither you will have to open the PDF and add the links. Note the Links will be hot (active) but the links will not turn Blue and  be Underlined
    Mac Office2011 is a Conversion of Office2010/2007 code.  So there should be no pproblem.
    Also Don't use the Save As . . .  PDF Method. Instead go to Print Menu  click on PDF wait for context menu > the choos Adobe Quality PDF or Adobe PDF (uses Adobe's PDF engine).
    wait for next screen that shows qualtity leave as sent unles you need specific job options. click okay then next screen File name. Rename as necessary the browser to desired to location then click save.  Or you can drop the saved Word document (with Word quit.) on to Acrobat and after a minute or so the PDF will be created. (Using this method in AcrobatX would actully show URL s or Mailtos as active - They broke this in Acrobat XI PDF still can be created but hot links no longer work).
    Well it seems it does work on occasion  see: http://www.screencast.com/t/cib2kcYG

  • Can you open word doc. In pages? (Opening a doc. From the web) in the iPad or iPod tuch?

    Can you open word doc. In pages? (Opening a doc. From the web) in the iPad or iPod tuch?

    NH,
    This may seem a fine point, but iWork apps don't actually Open Office apps. They Import them. The reason I make this distinction for you is that when you view the result of the import, you may see some variations from what was in the Office document because of an imperfect translation, and when you make edits, you are editing an iWork document, not the original Office document.

  • How can I open Word docs with Pages?

    I just installed the iWorks software because it said it would open Word docs. Now I can't seem to open any Word .doc files I had archived onto CDs, after abandoning my PC.
    I've made Pages my default application for opening text, and that didn't help. I just keep getting the error message "The document "X.doc" couldn't be opened." Any ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions Paul
    Pages - the word processing/page layout application in iWork (no "s") - usually doesn't have any problems with opening Word files, but I do believe it can't open any Word files older than version 6. It is also highly unlikely that it would be able to open any from the new 2007 version. If your documents are from a version in between those, they should open.
    How are you trying to open them? There are at least three common methods, but, since you say the documents are on a CD, I suggest copying them from the CD to your hard drive first. To open one at a time you can use File > Open (where > means following menu commands with your cursor). To open more than one at a time, select the ones you want by Command- (⌘) clicking the files & then dragging them onto the Pages icon in the Dock or a Finder window or Control- or right-click & choose Pages from Open with in the contextual menu that appears.

  • Can't open Word docs with Pages 08

    Since upgrading to SL I found that I can no longer open Word documents sent to me via email attachments. Can this be remedied? I thought Macs were able to "translate" Word files.
    Help!

    I did discover I can open Word docs with Text Edit, but it's a multi-step process now. I really don't want to upgrade to iWork 09 and I'm not sure that would solve the problem. I also have to use Quick Time now to open movies in iPhoto. Another multi-step process. I'm not very happy with SL.

  • Why does CS6 quit when opening CS4 docs in InDesign?

    We just downloaded InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat and Photoshop in Creative Cloud. But when opening InDesign docs made in CS4 the CS6 version immediately crashes. But when reopening the document is there, but nonamed and not with all links remained. Common problem?

    Do you have a crash report? If so, please post it on pastebin.com and put a link here.
    Do you have a font manager? If so, which one and what version? I think I remember similar reports tied to auto-activation plugins, but I'm not certain, and the crash report, if you have one, will be a lot more useful than speculation to start.
