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.

    What do you think average with "I tried with the restore CD but nothing '? Have you tried to completely format your HARD drive? I had a similar problem, but in my case it was because of the transplant of BONE... so I reinstalled the system from the beginning and it was ok.
    If you can not solve this problem with the cd supplied by the factory... I think it might be a hardware problem, probably due to the HARD drive. Your HARD drive makes strange noises, like "Click - Clack"?

  • How to open a. File TIFF using Microsoft Office Picture Manager?

    For some reason, the program by default-Set associations will not replace Quick time.  I can't open a tiff file.  I have Itunes & Quick Time player installed.  I want to open the files using Microsoft Office Picture Viewer tiff and I set my default to open tiff and tif files in Microsoft Office Picture Manager.  However, when I click on a tiff file to open it, the system tries to open using Quick Time Viewer and then I get a white screen with "done" at the bottom.  When I uninstall QuickTime, tiff files will open as expected in Microsoft Office Picture Manager.  How ideas keep Quick Time installed and still be able to open tiff files?

    I found a solution.

    Go to regedit.

    Search: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Type\image/tiff

    The named CLSID value just right-click and choose Remove.   ("CLSID" = "{4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69}")

    Click Yes to confirm.

    {4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69} is the QuickTime ActiveX module.

    Problem solved.

  • Is a program to open zip included in Windows Vista or Microsoft Office files?

    Try to open a zip file and Windows Vista can't seem to accomplish.  Also have Microsoft Office.  Is there a file that automatically opens zip files in any of the two?  How to open a zip file?

    It is included with Vista, but is called decompression/compression instead of compression/decompression.

    Here's briefly how to do it:http://www.ehow.com/how_4963978_open-zip-files-vista.html.

    If it doesn't, the Zip file associations have been lost somehow and must be repaired (I'm not sure what caused it - maybe some setting inadvertently or the hidden keyboard command).

    Here is a link to how to restore Vista zip file association: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/65254-zip-file-support-restore.html this should restore for compressed files zip file association and hopefully remove of open file (but which may take another measure).

    Here is another link on how to enable and disable the files compressed in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/93827-zip-file-compressed-folders.html.

    Here is a link on how to restore default binding settings in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/233243-default-file-type-associations-restore.html. This should also restore default associations of open files that include no zip.

    Between these three links, you should be able to restore files zip compressed file association and not with open files - indeed, return things to their default settings.

    Here are some additional links that may be useful if the three above do not resolve the problem:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/91920-unassociate-file-extention-type.html,http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/restore-and-reset-file-association-in-windows-vista-back-to-original-default/,http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/and http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/105/1/File-association-fixes-for-Windows-Vista.html.

  • Why finder hide Documents and office files in the home directory of the user by activating iCloud drive? What about the behavior of Time Machine backup or third-party applications?

    I'm under MacOS Sierra. I am connected to my iCloud account. I activated the option Desktop and Documents, but I did NOT activate the option optimize Mac storage, because I wanted to make sure that all my files would be available locally, just in case, I would need to work without an internet connection.

    -J' noticed there now a menu iCloud in my sidebar in the Finder, with links to Documents and desktop.

    -J' also noticed that Documents is no longer presented in my favorites in my side bar of the Finder.

    -This last suggests that files saved in 'Documents' are not saved more on my HD... but only in iCloud, which isn't what I want.

    -Then, sailing in the Finder Macintosh HD/users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are more visible, as if these files are not saved in my home folder most. Which raises the question: where are My Documents and files on my HD, so they are still?

    -Using a shell session in the terminal and again navigate to/Users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are still there. Which suggest that records and records of office reside actually still in my home folder under users, but Finder actually hide it and present them as being stored in iCloud only disc. It's very confusing.

    This raises several questions:

    -In the first place, why Apple hide Documents and office files in the directory? Why not view these folders in iCloud and directory?

    -Whence the iCloud folder or drive, reside actually on my hard drive?

    -What time Machine. Is it still back up my document files and folders?

    -What games third-party app mirroring backup of My Documents files and folders? They still work properly? (I use Livedrive backup and Sugarsync for files mirrored across several macs).

    -How can I understand that Apple is doing with my folders and files? Some users might be happy with the iCloud drive concept, without worrying about how it works, but I don't take chances, and I want to keep a good understanding about the functioning of my system.

    Could someone explain what is exactly happening?

    With office and selected Documents, access to these files are now in the iCloud Drive, not in your home folder.

    My guess would be that they do not appear in your file because it would be confusing for many people to make them in two places.

    If you want in the Favorites, open iCloud Drive and drag them in the sidebar here.

    All about iCloud drive has been saved on your Mac. With the exception of the office and the Documents, they are in ~/Library/Mobile Documents. However, if you choose optimized storage, older documents are removed from your Mac. I don't know what is "old".

    ~/Documents and ~/desktop have new metadata indicating probably Finder does not display them in a Finder window, only in iCloud drive. They are not hidden in one of the normal methods of unix.

    I have not tested Time Machine or any other backup program. The folder still exist in your directory home, and they still have all the files, I don't think that changes anything.

  • Cannot open the PDM file with excel 2016

    Hey guys,.

    I have Office 2016, LV 2015 and (I checked my "TDM Excel Add-in" file) the Excel Add-in 2015 of CT.

    I have attached a picture of what I get when I try to open the PDM file with excel.

    So, I found something strange. I checked active supplements under the excel options and the TDM Excel Add-in is listed as inactive (and is called a COM-add-in). I tried to activate it, by checking the box (see the second picture), but that does not change. Interesting is the last line of my second attached photo:

    Translated it means: ' loading behavior: a runtime error occurred when trying to load this Add-In.

    I have 10-64 bit operating system like windows.

    Someone at - it a solution?

  • I had windows updates only 3 update 11 failed and not update, now I can't open my program files

    After starting to install windows updates failed only 3 including 11 installed has not tried again they now cannot access some programs include research on the windows desktop, Explorer windows, help and support, system information, disk cleanup, defrag the files, microft office, others I right click and click Properties find target then I get a message could not open the windows file install is not properly installed ,

    Your last two responses bring back us to 2 two things you posted yesterday (I had hoped we could avoid).

    In reverse...

    [#1] ... I received an error message when I booted my computer that says "cannot find componate RPS.exe. "AntiFr.dll was not trying to install again.

    Several years ago, before Verizon (or whatever your telephone company was called at the time) gave the suite McAfee customers, she gave another sequel on Proctection of Radialpoint Suite (AKA freedom Internet Security).

    The code snippet above tells me that the Radialpoint suite has been installed on your computer at somepoint in a past distant: files RPS. EXE and ANTIFR. DLL are 'leftovers' from Radialpoint Protection Suite (where letters RPS in the first file name).

    Speaking of the hard personal experience, I can tell you more about Radialpoint is about impossible to remove completely without manual editing of the registry - something you DO NOT want to do!

    And despite what the volunteer moderator McAfee Forums and communities (own KB of Radialpoint article) has to say, you do NOT want to download Microsoft's Windows Installer Cleanup utility now interrupted the quoted source not Microsoft !

    [#2] ... I installed Speedy [PC] Pro last week... every day since then, around 15:00 I get a message that says "cannot find c: Program file commune File\SpeedyPC Software\UUS3\UUS3.dll ' I click on close and she goes until the next day.

    Unfortunately, installation & with the Speedy PC Pro 'scareware' is no worse, Dennis. [It is called "scareware" because you have to buy this disreputable application ($34.95 USD, I heard last) until it 'fixed' anything.] [Of course, it won't fix a 'thing'!]  See this recent discussion, some-online http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-security/who-are-speedy-pc-pro-and-are-they-safe-to-use/62629332-a670-4166-b418-e2a5a876daa1

    TIP: If you ever think that your registry database must be cleaned, repaired, boosted, point, healed, twisted, fixed, magnified, "swept" or optimized (it isn't), read http://aumha.NET/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions. See also http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2005/10/02/registry-junk-a-windows-fact-of-life.aspx

    If you had not used the Speedy PC Pro crapware, there is a very slim chance that you would be able to install the suite McAfee/Verizon again - at least according to McAfee Tier III Support Tech post on this page. But you don't have so there is nothing we can do about it now. [No, System Restore may not "come to the rescue" here.]

    => Let me level with you here: this set of the problem is due to have not entirely - remove the McAfee free version to test which is preinstalled on your computer, years BEFORE the installation of any antivirus application (for example, the suite of Radialpoint) AND BEFORE installation of Windows updates.

    Now the very bad new: the only way to return your computer to a functional & secure State is backup so your personal data (for example, the contents of the My Documents folder;) Favorites of IE; E-mail Client data) then format the hard drive and do a clean install of Windows XP (or buy a computer brand new Windows 7).

    Follow the instructions (to-the-letter & in order!) in this post of mine in another forum: http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=44636

    If you need additional help with the new installation, start your own, new topic in this forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-system

    If these procedures are outside your technique "comfort zone" - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the computer to a local, reputable and a stand-alone computer (that is, not "BigBoxStoreUSA" or Geek Squad), repair shop & let them do the work.

    Note: The computer must NOT be connected to the internet or local networks (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

    I sincerely wish I had better news for you.  Good luck!
