Word doc attachments to Outlook emails fail to open

Word attachments to emails received in Outlook fail to open (no response when click on "open"). Problem occurs once Acrobat 9 loaded
If saved still cannot open from the saved file. Problem removed by unistalling Acrobat.
Windows Vista Enterprise
Outlook 2003

Should have just right clicked on the file and selected the open-with option to chose WORD. Apparently you did something to open a DOC file in Acrobat sometime and the association was messed up.

  • Hello..when I download attachments from any email..iPages opens and says some features are not supported and cuts out photos and lengthens my attachments

    hello..when I download attachments from any email..iPages opens and says some features are not supported and cuts out photos and lengthens my attachments

    What format are the attachments? If Pages will not display them properly you will need an application that does. Pages usually opens word documents but can give problems at times, if they are MS Word documents, try Libre Office or failing that you may have to purchase MS Word for Mac, maybe you will need to buy the complete Office suite.
    The other possiblity is that you already have a suitable application and Pages is loading the file by default, if so change the default application to open that file type.

  • Attachments (word docs and PDFs) to emails can not be opened by the receivers. Are received as .dat files or application/octet-stream

    Attachments I add to emails (word doc or PDFs) can not be opened by the email receivers. Word documents attachments are received with ATT00427.dat (application/octet-stream) or .doc with (application/octet-stream). PDF attached files arrive with .pdf (application/octet-stream). My copy of my sent email has the same attachment extensions.

    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access web mail, you need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • Have problem saving or viewing PDF attachments in outlook email

    I can't open or save attachments that are PDF in outlook email.  I can save other attachments, wich leads me to believe maybe this is related to the ADOBE READER not set right.
    Get error message that says, "Can't create file:  PURCHASEORDER.pdf.  Right-click the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder."
    I am trying to save to desktop.  Have tried other folders too without success.
    Any help would be appriciated.

  • Printing multiple attachments from outlook 2003 fails

    I have huge problems printing pdf attachments through outlook, when i try i either dont print them all or it pops up with an error saying.
    file could not be found, or No printer installed, or printer have to be setup to allow printing.
    ofc a printer is installed and setup, i have tried printing on HP 9000, 9040, 4730, 4600, with both PCL6 and PS drivers.
    I have tried printing to a file, and printing directly to the printer.
    I have installed a PC with the bare minimum, XP SP2, outlook and adobe 7 and 8, same issue.
    the pdfs im trying to print are microsoft proof of sales documents, which we receive several of each day, with 5-20 pdf attachments in each, each attachment is between 400 and 800 kb in size.
    the problem is also present in outlook 2007.
    I'm sure there are several things i have tried and forgotten in this plea for help, but im really hoping someone out there have one or more ideas.
    Thanks in advance.

    I am not very skilled in Adobe by any means, but I was having the same issue.  When I did the Control P to print, I went into Print Options, then into Properties.  Under Adobe PDF settings, I unchecked the box that said "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts." and that worked for me.
    Hope it helps.

  • Entourage and Word Doc Attachments

    I've recently started using Entourage (Office 2004 version) in place of Mail. Occasionally I get a Word doc attachment that I can't open. I get a message stating it is either in use or is not a properly formatted doc. I can switch over to Mail and open the same doc with no problem at all. Any idea what the issue might be? It's not a show stopper, just a minor annoyance. Somewhat like not getting the free upgrade to Office 2008 because I forgot to send in the original boxtop (the original receipt wasn't good enough for Microsoft). Sorry, my anti-Microsoft bias is showing. Any help is appreciated.

    Since Office is not an Apple product, you should consider posting your question on MIcrosoft's own forums for their Office:Mac products, as they would be geared more toward your issue than an Apple forum:

    Don't see how I can choose the file from within Word as it's not saved anywhere?
    I have now discovered if I drag the file from mail on to the WORD icon in the doc it will open....seems much clumsier than the old option of clicking on the file to open it
    Opening attached pics seems to require the same action as well using iphoto.
    A bit of a step back in my opinion....
    Save the word file from the email to your Mac (have you never saved an attachment before)?
    Post back when you can do as I asked you to.
    And remember that we are trying to find out what is wrong, don't be so snappy!
    haha...point taken. Wasn't feeling 'snappy' when I typed it, not intended as such...!
    If I save it somewhere as you suggested I can then open it
    also, as I mentioned if I drag the doc onto WORD in the dock it opens that way as well

  • Can't open word doc attachments in pdf mail portfolio

    I created a pdf portfolio by converting outlook mail messages in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I can open the attachments but my coworkers are unable to open email attachments that are word documents (they can open pdfs).  When they go to Preferences --> Trust Manager, the first option about pdf attachments is grayed out and cannot be selected. 
    Can anyone please help tell me how to make the word documents accesible to other users.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    I have Acrobat 9.5 on my machine and I am not able to see any problem in opening non PDF file attachments.
    Please give the exact version of Acrobat you are using ( to see the version go to  Help -> About Adobe Acrobat).
    Update your Acrobat to latest version i.e 9.5.
    As you have mentioned that in Preferences-> Trust Manager-> Allow opening of non PDF file attachment with external applications is grayted out,
    is it a custom installation of Acrobat ?? because in normal installation this option is not grayed out.
    Thanks.
