Opening .DOCX files in a browser
Not sure if this is an IE7 or Word issue, but here goes. We have a HR
website, which has links to employee forms. Two of teh links are Word 07 documents, and when some of our employees click on the links they are prompted to open or save. If they choose open, they are confronted with the following error message " The file you are downloading cannot be opened by the default program. It either is corrupted or it has an incorrect file type." I click on the exact same links and the files open right up. We are running Vista Business SP1, and office 2007. I looked up a MS KB article but it said that this could be related to custom MIME types for files and would be fixed by installing SP1. We already have SP1 at our organization. Could this be something else such as an IE or Word setting or am I barking up the wrong tree? Thanks in advance, |

I have had the same problem, if the file is saved as a .zip file then extracted it contains xml files and not the Word document. However if the zip file is renamed to .doc or docx then it opens as a Word document.
