  • Since installing open Office 4.0 I can't open .doc files on the fly, used to work before.

    I've recently upgraded to Open Office 4.0. Now can't open Thunderbird .doc attachments. Can I download the disk and open in Open Office Writer with food office or Windows Explorer in the usual way. I checked the tools/options/attachments and it is set to Open Office Writer. I think that's not relevant, but when I had Open Office 3.0, I've had writer defined as a separate program, but now I use just the master front-end server.

    Works OK with .pdf or .jpg files.
    

    just remove the entry from the windows of the spare part and then try and open a doc file. The entry will be recreated using your answers.

    I'm guessing that the existing Writer is not the correct writer.

  • Opening MS Office files

    I have several MS Office Excel and Word files in my iPad Mini Dropbox and Icloud.  I can open them if I'm in Excel or Word without problem.  However if I open either of the two clouds and touch one of the files, it opens into something and another not to Word or Excel - maybe Pages. Is there some setting somewhere that will result in .docx or .xlsx files open in the appropriate Office program? Under Windows, I remember well, this feature is called File Associations.

    Thank you very much.

    iCloud will open the Pages by default if you have installed.  If you hold down on the document icon in iCloud drive a menu should appear. One of the options is "Share".  You can tap on it and then select Word as the application to use. This should be done whenever you want to open a Doc file in the iCloud drive App.

    Dropbox is opened directly doc files in its own Viewer. There is an option in the lower right corner of Dropbox to open in Word directly. The icon looks like a square with a pencil on it. Tapping on it will allow you to open it in the Word application.

    In addition, there is nothing that can be done to change the default application, with which they open.

  • laptop 11: download doc files

    My son's computer crashed and had to reset it. Update Windows defender set and firewall on. I can't put Norton back on it and it won't let me open the doc files. He needs it for school. Any help on download Norton and kick-off windows Defender? Any ideas how to power download docs? Thank you all

    Please tell us which browsers and the specific versions that you are using.

    I use four different browsers (depending on the OS, I'm running and I have to do with the browser), and I noticed recently that Chrome has changed its default value on downloading files - ALL files I downloaded was the same scenario that yours--would complement the download, then I got an error about the site being suspicious and the download has been removed.  Once I found the security settings and changed, the problem stopped.

    So, I would look at the security settings in the browsers that you use and disable all that automatically prevents the download of suspicious sites or the types of suspicious files.

    Good luck

  • Cannot open DOC files that are sent to me. I have wordpad and Notepad on my computer but you do not have Microsoft Office

    original title: DOC files

    Cannot open DOC files that are sent to me. I have wordpad and Notepad on my computer but you do not have Microsoft Office. Most of the time, I get a screen that says 'open' or 'save' the file and when I click on 'Open', this message disappears. Sometimes it opens, but the message is completely scrambled with letters and symbols.

    Cannot open DOC files in wordpad or Notepad. you will need a more advanced software suite. Try OpenOffice.org - it's free, and it supports the DOC format. But the best solution is to get Microsoft Office once and for all.

    Download OpenOffice.org: http://download.openoffice.org/contribute.html?download=mirrorbrain&files/stable/3.2.1/OOo_3.2.1_Win_x86_install-wJRE_en-US.exe. Note: Click on the link at the bottom that says "http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/stable/3.2.1/OOo_3.2.1_Win_x86_install-wJRE_en-US.exe" to download the program.

    This should solve your problem,

  • doc files locked by another user. Occurs when the laptop computer on the new Word documents opening.

    Just acquired a computer laptop and everything seemed to sync with SkyDrive and my desktop PC, except that the Word doc files will not open. Error message _ .doc is locked by another user. By selecting 'Open read-only' displays a different error message.

    All other types of files and doc files produced local seem to work well. I can access and open files on SkyDrive.com with both computers. docx files do not seem to be affected.

    The problem occurs only on my laptop. To access the files established by clicking on it in the local SkyDrive open Word (2010) with the error message (the file is locked by another user).

    Files open very well during the passage of SkyDrive.com (from mobile) and in all desktop scenarios. And can access the files on the desktop to the laptop via the network. The two computers configured in the same way of C:, D: (SkyDrive on this partition) and E:

    I can copy files over the network to the laptop E: partition and they access very well. Copy them to D:\SkyDrive (once the original has been removed and SkyDrive left) same problem occurs. Network's WiFi in the House.

    Does not occur with the new files created on laptop, the files in the root directory of the laptop (only subdir) skydrive and .docx files.

    I have updated the advanced settings of sharing and security on the two computers without success.

    All other types of files seem fine.

    Help appreciated.
