Unable to download attached Word document

I have two emails in my inbox with attached Word documents neither of which will download. I download documents all the time so am not doing anything wrong to get them to download. I have a Dell 1525 Inspiron running Vista. Mozilla is the browser
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== an hour ago

My AOL emails won't print. This change occurred a few days ago when I did the last FireFox upgrade. The aspx extension appears to be the difference?

You may first want to look into Safari's "Installed Plugins" section within the browser. This is (usually) found under the Safari Help header in the top of a browser. I say usually, because I don't use Safari often and mine is an older version. They handle applications and plugins like most others, to a point.
I see in Safari Installed Plugins that mine would use
application/pdf
Acrobat Portable Document Format
Acrobat Reader & reader plugin v9.5.5 for web browsers
(in Safari 5.x, where I looked into this)
While I use FireFox, SeaMonkey (Mozilla) and others, where I can choose in preferences the helper applications to open from the browser, Safari has different methods; so if you can change this in the preferences or settings of Safari in a later version I am not certain.
You could see what the defaults are by using Safari help menu to open the Installed plugins, and maybe find out what happend to Adobe reader plugin. Could be it was 'sandboxed' in a later OS X and needs to be installed differently to be accepted as safe.
It is easier to set how a file type is handled once it is inside the computer and not held in the browser; by file type in general or specific to each single document. I do both, and seldom let an a browser do these things due to security considerations. I download and open them, only then if I feel they are safe.
Sorry to not have a specific answer for that anomaly.
Good luck & happy computing!

I am getting an unknown error when trying to download a word document from mail to pages, any help

I am trying to download a word document from mail into pages and I keep getting an unknown error message, are there special settings for this? Any help much appreciated!

Not there aren't any special settings for this. You just use the Open In feature to save the document into Pages. You could have a font in the document that Pages doesn't like, maybe something that you copied and pasted from somewhere into the document that went corrupt. But there is nothing special about the way that you save a Word document into Pages. You save it like you save any document or file into a compatible app.

When I download Microsoft word documents (if have word 2007), I have somehow changed the settings and it downloads them in wordpad, and the format is very bad and I can't read a lot of the document. How do I change the default setting back to using Micro

When I download Microsoft word documents (if have word 2007), I have somehow changed the settings and it downloads them in wordpad, and the format is very bad and I can't read a lot of the document. How do I change the default setting back to using Microsoft Word 2007 to open these documents?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a few weeks ago - I had tried to open some docuuments saved on a mac, my PC (which runs Windows 7), used word pad to open these, and this seems to have changed the default settings somehow.

I cn't download saved word documents from icloud to my mac? Why?

I use Word for Mac as my word processor. I'm a writer and publishers only want word .doc documents. I can upload to icloud but not download my word documents and icloud doesn't appear as a source for documents neither on the Pages nor the Word menu. why? and what can I do?

At http://icloud.com , navigate to the iWork page,and click on the relevant folder in the toolbar:
Click your file once to select it: click 'Download' and choose an option.
More information at http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm9d23dae8
However, once a file has been uploaded from your Mac you cannot re-download it until it's been edited on an iOS device, which may well make this process unsuitable for your requirements. You may find DropBox a better bet.

HT6117 Hi I want to attach word documents to yahoo mail app and some job portals using iPad I don't know how to attach it can u ppl help

Hi I want to attach word documents to yahoo mail app and some job portals using iPad I don't know how to attach it can u ppl help me thru this issue

would I be able to "upload" (not sure how else to say it) my existing folders and subfolders containing all my emails so that they are all available on my new IMAP service, while still being available on my Mac?
Not easily, no. There's no direct transfer option between POP and IMAP, especially across email providers. The best you could do would be to forward all of your emails to your new address, although it's not clear that you need to - dropping your sbcglobal.net account doesn't instantly render all your existing mail void - it'll still be in your Mail client, you can still read it, search it, etc., it just won't be on your provider's server.
I have toyed with the idea of getting a MobileMe account. Would that solve my issue/question above?
MobileMe would be viable, especially if you're interested in synching your various iOS devices. It's not free, of course, unlike Yahoo and Gmail, although you've already discounted them...
I have also toyed with purchasing my own URL, but it's hard to tell from the sites (1and1, Namecheap, etc.) if they come with IMAP email accounts included.
Some registrars offer email hosting bundles with a domain registration. This could be a good way to go. GoDaddy, for example, have a email hosting option for domains you register with them.

Unable to open a Word document?

Hey,
Was wondering if someone can provide me guidance as to why I cannot open a Word document sent to me (the file is received and downloaded by email).
The error message that I get whenever trying to open the document is as follow:
Tried opening the document using other software but without success. Also tried the suggested in the error message (i.e. repaired the file, open with text recovery... no success)
I previously used PCs to open the same document. I notice that PCs from Asia are able in opening the file, while PCs in North America weren't... Very confused about the file type.
Appreciate all your help!
Peter

Hi Csound1,
I do agree that it has to do with the file itself. As far as I can see, the file itself is a .doc (Word document).
I attached a document info screen shot here:
Thanks again.

Attaching word documents

Whenever I attach a word document to a windows user, they are unable to open the document (I think they lose the extension).
Any suggestions?

First, make sure the file does have an extension before you attach.
Second, make sure the two options in Edit menu, Attachments are checked.
Third, format the email as Plain Text. Format menu, Make Plain Text.
There is really nothing else you can do to make Outlook work with the rest of the world. Outlook is pretty much only compliant with itself.

Unable to open a word document in SharePoint 2013

Dear all,
We are using SharePoint Foundation 2013 with Office Word 2010. Uploading an updating a document in SharePoint generally works fine.
We have a word document uploaded to SP on which we work a lot. I uploaded it yesterday and continued to work on the document. This morning when I wanted to open the document I get the message from Word: "Could not open 'http://xxxxxxxxx/sites/documents/General/document.docx'
(where xxxx is the name of the server).
This is the second time that we have this issue.
Except this message there is nothing on SharePoint log site.
Best, Jeppen

Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately these post do not help.
Strange thing is that we can work again with the document.
I forgot to mention that the "Download a Copy" always worked.

Attached Word documents corrupt

I have iMac OSX 10.4.11 and Tiger
I have Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac
When I send Word documents via email to my mum (on windows xp home & MS Office 2003) via yahoo mail, just recently she has said that when she opens my Word docs they are just full of barcodes. My word docs are saved as Word 97-2004 Document (.doc) and mums email is btinternet/outlook express
Is this something wrong with my end or hers, what could be going wrong?

Mac users using Word 2004 who receive a Word 2008 for Mac, (or Word 2007 for Windows) document, will not be albe to read this without having the Open XML Converter installed, which can be downloaded from Microsoft.
Go to this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx
and click on the right under Most Popular, 'Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.0'
This opens a window at the bottom of the page. Scroll that to the bottom and click on English.dmg, and it will download for you as a disk image, which can be installed in the usual way.
After installation you can open and read .xml formatted Word 2008 documents in Word 2004.
I would suggest that your Mum install this!
