.docx and doc are Microsoft Word files. xls files are Microsoft Excel files.
The reason why you can not open them is probably that you don't have Microsoft Office or any compatible application installed.

Despite what you think apparently, Windows 8, nor any other version of Windows, has never included Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Access, nor any other significant application software. These programs must be purchased, either by themselves or as part of Microsoft Office.

If your old computer, running Windows 7, came up with one or more of them, it was because the seller who sold delivered as part of the package he has sold, not because this version of Windows came with it. Sellers of some, but not all, do the same with Windows 8 computers (but if they do, it is very likely that a trial version).

  • How to open Docx and doc. attachments with Word 2013 from Firefox

    I just got a new laptop and installed Office 2013. However, when I try to open an attachment to my e-mail or a document on the web, the box comes up that says: ' Firefox do with this file? I can save the file fine, but when I click on 'Browse' next door 'open with', Microsoft Word is not found. It would be nice to get the document automatically opens in Word. I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, but any help would be appreciated.

    Which application opens the file if you double-click such a file in Windows Explorer?

    If the default program is the word Firefox should offer this application by default.

    In the case of an attachment then it would be unlikely that the file is to send with the right MIME type for a doc or docx file, but perhaps also a generic type as "application/octet-stream" that will make Firefox want to save the file.

  • Photosmart Premium c309g-m: cannot print from word and excel files

    Hello

    My question previous (25/02/2016 09:44) problems with the HP Solution Center has been resolved today - I can open the program and I can scan.

    But now I can not print word and excel files - the paper is completely empty. I can print emails from google, but they are difficult to read.

    You try to set a type mime in the attribute FlxVch02 what id too long for the space provided in the db table.

    He must either reduce the type or increase the length of the column in the table for the type of mine.
