Microsoft Word and Excel (2010) do not appear when you attempt to associate file types with applications.

Word and Excel are installed and are working on the new computer from my parents.  They have the word 'old' and the files whose file extensions are not associated with Word or Excel is excellent.  If they open Word (or Excel), they can then open these old files successfully.  On the other hand, if they double-click on the file, the popup shows the type of file is not associated with an application.  When asked to choose an application to associate, the list does not include Word or Excel.

The same is true when you use the programs Start/Default/associate a file type or Protocol with a program.  Word and Excel are not shown as applications installed on this computer.

I did an uninstall and reinstall, and the old word files and excellent files are still not associated.  I was then able to associate using the types of programs/associate of start/default etc..  So I think I'm good to go.  This occurs naturally, and it was a big pain.  Not what you want to experience, unfortunately, visitors.

  • Letters do not appear when you type on a web browser

    I have no problem typing in MS Word 2007, but when it comes to the internet, typing in a web browser, there not all letters as I type. A slow response to the keyboard.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Communities

    I understand that some of the letters does not appear when you try to type on the web browser. Let me try and help you with the problem.

    1. what web browser do you use?

    2. have you tested the issue on several web browsers (if you have them)?

    3. have you started facing this problem recently? If Yes, are you aware or made a software or a hardware changes to the PC before this problem?

    This occurs generally if there is a problem with an add-on installed on the computer.

    I suggest to follow these methods on Internet Explorer and check to see if it helps to solve the problem:

    Method 1:

    You can start by running the Fixit and check if this helps solve the problem.

    Troubleshoot Internet Explorer to IE quick, safe and stable

    http://Support2.Microsoft.com/mats/ie_performance_and_safety


    Method 2:

    If this does not help, start Internet Explorer in no add-on mode.

    While Add-ons can enhance your online experience, they can sometimes interfere or conflict with other software on your computer. Try to start Internet Explorer without Add-ons to see if the problem goes away.

    Step 1: Run Internet Explorer without modules

    ·         Click the Start button. Click on all programs, Accessories, click System Toolsand then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).

    If the problem does not occur after you use this method, use Manage Add-ons to determine which modules are at the origin of the problem.

    Step 2: Manage Add-ons.

    (a) open Internet Explorer, click the Start button. In the search box, and then type Internet Explorerin the list of results, click on Internet Explorer.

    (b) click the Tools button, and then click Manage Add-ons.

    (c) click an add-on in the name list, and then click disable.

    (d) repeat step c until you identify the add-on that is causing the problem.

  • OLE object does not appear when you open a. ODT file.

    I often get files from a source that uses an open office program. I am able to open the. ODT file, but embedded OLE object appears as text. The object is a logo, so I'm not all that concerned however, I wonder if there is a way to convert the file so that the OLE object appear to printing purposes. I downloaded an app named "Document converter" on the App Store and I am able to open .odt file in MS Word for Mac but the OLE object still does not appear. Ideas for a job here? As always, thanks in advance for your help.

    .ODT is a file "Open Document formaT". Word 2010 for Windows supports this format, but their infinite stupidity do not justify this in Word for Mac same word in 2016 of Office for Mac does not support this format. OLE stands for Object Linking and Embedding and was a way to incorporate one document inside another and I believe was originally designed by Microsoft. A typical example where it will be will work not on a Mac is when a Visio or project document is embedded in a Word document, because even if obviously a Mac can read Microsoft Word files it can read Microsoft Visio or Project files. In theory embedded Excel, Word or file of standard chart for example, jpg, png, etc. must be displayed on a Mac.

    I'm not aware of a way to determine what might be the embedded object.

    You could try various other programs that support this format e.g. OpenOffice and Google Docs and see if they do a better job to convert.

    Hi, I have a problem with the AutoPlay dialog box. It does not appear whenever I am inserting a USB device into my laptop, it display normally if I insert a USB device. I tried to click with the right button on the drive removable (h :)), but I couldn't see "Open AutoPlay" anywhere in the right click menu.

    I checked the AutoPlay Options in the Control Panel, it is enabled for all media. I already tried to affect the default settings, but it makes no difference. I also checked if the Hardware Detection service core is running, that is.

    I even tried to delete all values in {HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer}, but he still did nothing.

    I even tried to delete all values of {HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer}, he did nothing either.

    I would really appreciate it if someone could please tell me how to solve the problem, I need to know which registry value to modify or remove to get the AutoPlay to run dialog box. And the registry keys that operate the AutoPlay dialog box?

  • SWF does not appear when you go back to the tab browser

    I had a report of strange bug on a web application that we develop.

    The SWF looks fine for the most part, but it's the user has several tabs open the browser moves to a different tab and then returned to the tab with the swf, swf file does not appear until the mouse scrolls on the swf.

    At first glance it looks like the swf is not redrawn until the user with her intereacts (we do a fair amount of mosue on election).  There she crept to save memory, the browser stops displaying the image and not redeisplay not until we explicitly have to redraw the scene.

    Has anyone meet a similar situyation?  I don't know where to start with this.

    Some potentially relevant aspects of the swf file:

    Most of the objects on the stage have chachAsBitmap set to true and that we apply a mask degraded to most of the scene, so there is a good amount of ongoing treatment and I know thishas caused a few other quirks to redraw.
    The pace is on a very slow 4 frames per second and film is flown by a timmer.

    All the tracks would be appreciated.

    The tester reported it was using Chrome 9.0.597.107 and Flash player 11.3.300.26

    your pace should be significantly with fp 11.2 + opening another tab.  the pace should return to normal when your new swf focus.

    You can use throttleevent from the scene to detect these events.

  • Selection of the type (reverse type) does not appear when you select type

    I have AI CS5 on OS X 10.6.4. I just created an illustration. The problem is that when I try to type in this illustration, the text does not invert to indicate what was selected. The selection work; If I drag on the text, I would like to change, and then type the replacement text, old_text is replaced as expected. But it's as if we were working blindly.

    This is a weird problem and happens only in this particular document. If I copy the content to another document, it works very well there. It doesn't matter if I change the police. The problem occurs constantly in the present a document even if I open the document on another Mac, so do not appear to be specific to the computer.

    I found a solution by copying everything into a new document. However, I am curious to know why this is happening. I was wondering if anyone else had never seen this behavior.

    Show/hide the edges (selected in the view menu or via the Hotkey Cmd / Ctrl + H) is a per document setting. That would explain what you have seen.

    To "fix" your problem document, open, switch to Show Edges, then record under using the same or a different file name. (If you just Save without making further changes to the document, it will not take.)
