Trial question: Can't open .doc files from web page

I'm using Dreamweaver on a Mac, and I have a link on a page
that should bring up a doc file. When I preview the page in Safari,
it brings up a directory listing which highlights the file so that
you can double-click and open the file. (Of course, I'd love for it
to go ahead and open the file, but my understanding is that
Dreamweaver Mac doesn't support that.) However, when I preview in
Internet Explorer, I either get a message that the File is Not
Found or it just spins and never brings up anything. The file is in
the root directory of my site (same directory as my index.html.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Kim

Do you have Word installed on your Mac? If you don't, it
won't open.

Can't open pdf files from web pages

I recently upgraded to Adobe Reader 8.1. Now I cannot open pdf files from email attachments. Advises to set Adobe Reader as default in folder options. When I try to do so, it appears to be OK, but still will not open files from emails.

Did you check the settings of your mail client for handling attachments?

I saved web page as html file, but can't open saved file as web page

I did a FILE, SAVE PAGE AS, then chose 'WEB PAGE COMPLETE' - and a directory is created on my hard drive - with the directory name, for example - "c:\....\Ask a Question _ Mozilla Support.htm". (for this web page).
When I try to open the saved web page from Firefox, using FILE, OPEN, I see a new window that looks like a file manager window, I then select that saved .html file and click OPEN, and a new window opens that looks like file manager - displaying with all the files in that directory - "Ask a Question _ Mozilla Support.htm". That is, it does not open and dislpay the web page as I expect it should (that I saved earlier).
However, if I go to the file manager, I can see that directory is saved, and has the Windows Explorer icon associated with the directory "ask a question ....html", and also has a file type of HTML listed. If I double click that directory in file manager, Windows Explorer will open that directory and dis[play it as a web page, as I expected.
I would like to know why Firefox does not open the directory name as a web page from the FILE, OPEN command, but instead shows me the directory contents(all the files in that directory)?
BTW, if I try FILE, OPEN, using Windows Explorer the same thing happens - it opens a new window listing all the files in that directory.
Is this the way the FILE, OPEN is supposed to work?
It seems confusing, because if I am in any other program, for example WinWord, and do a FILE, OPEN command on a Word file, it opens the file as a Word Document - it does not just show the file in a "file manager window.
But when I click FILE, OPEN on an HTML file(directory using Firefox, it does not open that html directory as a web page?

I am in the Windows Explorer 'Details' view, and I see the folder with 'Type' of FILE FOLDER. In that folder are all the .js and .css and .png files - as cor-el said.
''But now I also see'' that there is also an htm file - ''with the exact same name ''as the folder, but it has a 'Type' of 'HTML Document'. When I have Firefox do a File, Open on the HTML Document - it does open the web page that I saved and does display it as a web page.
I did not realize that Firefox saves both:
1) a Directory '''(Type 'File Folder') '''''', and,
2) an html file''' (Type 'HTML Document')
... '''and that they are the exact same names! '''
I was clicking on the wrong one! Instead of clicking in the .html file, I was incorrectly clicking on the folder!
(The archive add on looks interesting, but shouldn't I be able to open the saved web page, from the browser, using File, Open File) ?

Can not open .doc files from Finder

I installed Snow Leopard and now I'm having trouble with .doc files. I use Microsoft Office 2004. When I try to open a .doc file directly from the internet or by clicking on it from Finder or desktop, it won't open. Instead I have to go into Word and click open then browse. Any ideas on how to fix this?

This works only for files that I know have been created in Mac Office 2004, but any other files I download - for instance, from school - will not open in this way. I followed your suggestion, but Word was already the default application used and the "change all" box was unclickable.
I tried right clicking on the file, going to the "open with" menu, then clicking "other" and selected Word that way. I made sure that "always open with" was checked, but it still didn't help.

Cant open doc files from the server on MacBook Air after upgrading to Maverick

Cant open doc files from the server on MacBook Air after upgrading to Maverick, I can only open up docx file. Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion! I don't use Phantasm or VectorScribe (or any Astute Graphics plugins for that matter). I do, however, have a Wacom tablet and have a few plugins that concern using Blurb Book Creator as well as LiveSurface Context.
I did the very unfortunate and foolish act of upgrading to Maverick without a backup, so postponing isn't an option for me.
I geuss my question at this point would be, would it be worthwhile to wipe all the adobe products from my harddrive and re-install them? Or would that be a useless endeavor.
I don't have an external hard-drive so backing up and re-installing the entire OS would be a bit much. Any suggestions?

Can't Open ACR files from Bridge in Photoshop CC 2014

I Can't Open ACR files from Bridge in Photoshop CC 2014. I have uninstalled the programs, and all other versions of PS several times, but no matter what I do, I can't open a raw file I have opened in Bridge, in PS CC 2014. I have to click Open in Photoshop CC 2014 in Bridge.
Also, on my workstation PC (Win 7 64bit), if I don't open PS prior to opening Bridge, then when I try to open a file from bridge it says it can't run PS on an earlier Operating system than Win 7!
I have done exactly the same instalation on my notebook, same OS, and everything works perfectly - I just don't understand.

Guys! This question was asked almost two months ago, and still no-one has replied? I'm still stuck, no matter what I have tried, I cannot find a solution. And please don't ask me to re-install AGAIN, I've done this several times and it simply does not work.

How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

Andy,
In the simple and short form, what happens with the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) module is that it gets updated with regularity, to accommodate the camera mfgr's. changes for their newer models. That ACR works within the host program, such as Ps, PsElements, Lightroom, etc.. At a point, Adobe ceases to support older host program versions. When that happens, the user has a few options:
Upgrade the host program version
Use another host program, such as PsElements or Lightroom
Use the free DNG converter, per Curt's suggestion. That is not host program dependent
Glad that the DNG Converter works for you.
Good luck,
Hunt

Can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer on Windows 8.1

Hello,
after I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer (directly double clicking the file). The AcroRd32.exe runs in the background (2x !) as I see the processes in task manager, but there is no user interface visible. I have Acrobat
Reader 11.0.06, the desktop version (not Metro). I tried uninstalling the Acrobat reader and installing it again but this didn't help. The only way to open PDF files is to close the AcroRd32.exe from the task manager, open empty Acrobat Reader from the desktop
and then drag&drop the PDF file over that window. This is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to fix this issue so I can open PDF files directly from windows explorer?
Many thanks!

I had to install adobe reader, but PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?
Windows 8.1 pro.
thx

Can not open RAW-Files from Nikon D4 in Photoshop cc

hi. i can not open RAW-Files from Nikon D4 in Photoshop cc. (Camera RAW 6.7) can you help please?

ACR 6.7 would be for an older product, PS-CS5 or PSE10 or PRE10.
What does Help / About Plug-ins… / Camera Raw… show in PS-CC for a version for ACR and is there more than one version of ACR in the Help / About Plug-in list. Help / About Plug-in is what I’d do on Windows; I’m not sure if the menu path is the same on a Mac or not.

The newest version of camera raw for pse 12 is version 8.4, which should open the canon 70D files.
Have you tried Help>Updates from within the pse 12 editor?

Can't open raw files from a supported camera

Hi. I just uninstalled pse 12, installed pse 13 and ran all updates. I still can't open raw files from my Nikon D5200, which is a supported model. It works on a Vista system I have with pse 12, so it definitely isn't the camera. Any ideas?

The D5200 has been supported since midway through PSE11’s life, so PSE12 and PSE13 should work ok.
I’d suspect that the NEFs have been touched by Nikon software which can rendering them unrecognizable to Adobe products. You can test for this by using Explorer to copy a newly shot raw file from your memory card to the computer and then see if that will open, making sure no Nikon software has viewed it or been involved in the copy process.
If the files are corrupted, then a utility from here can reverse it:

Can't open raw files from my D800E in CS5. What is the fix for this?

How do I fix this problem? Can't open raw files from my D800E in CS5.

You could try Help > Update, but that was a flakey process in CS5 times.
It's better to download and instally manually.
