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.

  • How to open a pdf and read/print using Microsoft Works file?

    Error message: Works cannot open "C:\Users\Desktop\Zeke's Menu.pdf.  The file may be in use by another application, the file format is not supported by any of the installed converters or the file may be corrupt.

    How to open this file and read/print using Microsoft Works or Notepad or something else?

    You can't with these programs - (there is no same Modules for these programs) - you need another program.  You must download the free Acrobat Reader http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/ allowing you to read and print PDF files (but you will not be able to edit/modify them with this program).

    To edit/change you need another program like free PDF Editor: http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Business/MS_Office_Add-ins/Free_PDF_Editor.html.  You can also download the free OpenOffice Suite 3.2 http://www.openoffice.org/ which is capable to download and work with PDF files (via the writer program).  The good thing about OpenOffice is that you can then save the file in another format which CAN be read and used by Microsoft Works or Notepad (even though it may look very different without the features of PDF).  OpenOffice is very similar to Microsoft Office and most of the people who do not want to pay for Microsoft Office get OpenOffice instead because it is by far the best alternative (and some say that it is even better - although I don't agree with that).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Just installed CD player. Now I can't print pdf files without disabling Protected Mode.  Anyway to adjust/difficulty so I can print protected-mode?

    Just installed CD player. Now I can't print pdf files without disabling Protected Mode.  Anyway to adjust/difficulty so I can print protected-mode?

    Protected mode can be "a very important part of their security features", but what's the point if the product does not work?

    If has been like that since the introduction of Safe_mode in drive X.  Reader, crashes, hangs, cale, cannot print and various other symptoms.

    I recommended to disable Safe_mode for a very long time, and even Adobe support staff do often the same here in the forum.

    There is absolutely no advantage whatsoever to keep protected Mode enabled.  (Although I personally have never had no problems [with protected Mode on] on any of my Windows systems.)

  • 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.

  • Problems to open PDF files after the upgrade of the file server for 2012 R2

    Hello

    This weekend we have improved our main Windows 2003 to 2012 R2 file server.

    Since the upgrade, users (including myself) cannot open a PDF of the file server.  If I double click on a PDF file, it opens as usual, but if I double click a different PDF, the acrobat reader flashes (in the Task Manager I can see another instance AcroRd32.exe starts and stops) but the second document does not open.

    If I close the first document and then try and open the other, and then it opens without any problem.

    This only affected the opening of files on the new file server, opening several files on a local disk is very good.

    If I disable 'enable protected mode at startup' then I can open several documents of the file server.  I would prefer not to have to do.

    Users are using Acrobat Reader 11.0.10 on 64-bit Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 Remote Desktop.

    Does anyone have any ideas, it may be the cause?  And does anyone have one solution other than to disable the protected mode?

    Thank you

    Joe

  • When I try to open a file in the same window instead it opens in another window

    so my office is weird, as if you try to open a file in the same window instead it open in another window, etc. and the parameters are not to do, and I can not copy, paste, or drag-and - unless u open the file that you are trying to paste in... I mean that it shows that u copied or cut the file but it does not allow you to the paste it where you want it to... help?

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/813711

    I found the solution to a lot of the post regarding the behavior of the window as in not displaying thumbnails do not, or only display as icons. u could not drag-and - drop a file in a folder, the only way possible to copy and paste in the opened folder u he wanted.   When in an open folder u wanted to open another folder in the same window, that he would open the clicked folder u on in another window... Yes I think the setting may have changed with the installation of another program or uninstall. Ive search searched n not thanks to technicians to norton and Microsoft to answer the caz forums of course they know not what theyre doing... but in any case, I saw in another question, someone asked on thumbnails disappear n someone sent them the link to a microsoft support page click on the fix it , and it fixes everything that was to play place configurations...

  • I have been using the functionality of Firefox in which I could have multiple sets of tabs open, but only see the game I was working with. I have updated and now the functionality is Gone

    I have been using the functionality of Firefox in which I could have multiple sets of tabs open, but only see the game I was working with. I have updated and now the feature disappeared. I had a small icon on the top right of my toolbar. I used it all the time to keep windows separated for financial, plans to travel items, news, etc.. Has it been removed from Firefox?

    Hello

    The feature of tab groups is always present. You can try with the button right of the + after the last tab and Customize. If the icon is hidden behind the other, or if it is available inside the mini window customize, you can put it back. If the problem persists, you can also try of reset toolbars and controls: and start to make changes and restart in Safe Mode screen.
