Software :: Opening MS Word Does Not Recognize .docx Files By Default
Jun 21, 2011
The OpenOffice word processor can open and read Microsoft Word files containing XML (.docx) perfectly well, but it--or KDE--does not seem to recognize a .docx by default. To open one with OpenOffice, I have to manually tell OpenOffice to open it, by going through the "open with" option on the right-click menu and specifying soffice. That's obviously not a problem, but it's a minor curiosity. Haven't Word XML files been around long enough that KDE and OpenOffice should recognize them immediately?
I'm not quite sure which to blame this on--KDE or OpenOffice--but KDE seems more logical. And is this a small limitation of KDE 3.5? because I'm still using 3.5. (I'm trying to switch over to Trinity, but have not made the switch yet.)

I just started using FireFTP instead of FileZilla because I got fed up with FileZilla not opening remote files and not recognising the default editor Gedit.
I really want to use keyboard shortcuts with FireFTP, which is possible according to the help docs on-line, but there is no option to use shortcuts anywhere even having enabled FireFTP to open in a new window. I tried it in Shiretoko 3.59 and Firefox 3.18 with no luck.
I just tried removing FileZilla and it does not appear in my list of installed apps. It appears in the full list as uninstalled but when ticking the box to install gives this message. FileZilla FTP client cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type. I already have FileZilla..so how is that?

it does not permit me use Times New Roman font! It says down the dialogue box Font on MS Word that it is not, like, installed, and that it will use the most likely one. It's not good, because the texts (all of them) get italicized when I open some on it. It was working fine before. I use Wine on Lucid Lynx, very updated.

Is there a way to at least convert these files to a different format without using MS Office? I have no access to MS Office (100% non MS user) and I wasn't able to open a .docx file with OOo or AbiWord.

My MailScanner running on CentOs is blocking docx files, saying "The original e-mail attachment "****.docx" is on the list of unacceptable attachments for this site and has been replaced by this warning message.
I've tried adding it the list of allowed files:
/etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf:
allow .docx$ - -
but it still blocks them.
I've also tried manually coping the message file from the /var/spool/MailScanner quarantine/ directory into /var/spool/postfix/incoming
but this did not result in the mail being delivered.
I desperately need these mails released, and docx files to be allowed unconditionally. Anyone know why the above isn't working? Failing that, can all file blocking be turned off? I'd rather have virus relayed than legitimate mails blocked.

I noticed that files that were written in MS Word 2003 change when opened in Open Office 3.2.1 This usually involves tables, lists, and image placement, as well as page margins and boundaries. It sometimes makes it annoying when reading files saved in MS Word .doc format that other people send me. Does anyone know if there is an extension to fix this? Or settings that can be changed? Also, was this addressed in version 3.3.0 of OpenOffice? Has anyone tried it on LibreOffice? I don't want to install VirtualBox, Windows, and Office to read Word files properly. I dislike MS.

Is there any program in Ubuntu that can open .docx files natively? I know that open office can open .doc files, but I need a program that can open .docx files. It also has to be able to read the embedded data, such as text themes and bibliography data. Conversion is no good. I have been using Office 2007 through Crossover, but for some reason it can only have one window open at a time, which severely limits what I can do.

I have to use and update many documents on a network share in my organization. I am using OpenOffice 3.2 (latest and Greatest). When I go to the document that I need via the network share, I can open up the document no problem at all but the minute I attempt to save it, it will freeze and I have to:
PHP Code:
pgrep soffice| xargs -i kill -9 {}
Kill it. To get it to work I have to save the document from a .docx format to a .doc format then all works well. Unfortunately, all of my coworkers use the latest and greatest of MS Office.

I'm using SeaMonkey instead of FireFox, and this won't change. SeaMonkey is set to be the default browser in Preferred Applications I use a java chat client every day (.jar), which has a button that opens an appropriate web address.
The problem is, it opens that site with FireFox instead of my desired SeaMonkey.
The client runs fine with openjdk and sunjava too ( I have both installed ), but they both open sites with FireFox. In Sun Java 6 Plugin Control Panel I set the SeaMonkey launcher as "Command to launch default browser", but the client still opens sites with FireFox. As for OpenJDK, I haven't found any way to modify settings.

I have this problem, however the solution given there is outdated- There is no such menu entry (I tried to see if it was disabled, but it wasn't in the menu editor either).
So how would I do this in Karmic?
Edit: I found it. As a reference: Open Nautilus, go to Edit-> Preferences -> "Media" tab -> Photos -> Your choice.

I automount two NTFS volumes on login. These display in both the desktop and the Unity launcher.
The first time I clicked one of them in the Unity launcher, it asked if I wanted to use Nautilus or Thunar. I chose Thunar.
Now, when I open the volumes in the Unity launcher, it always uses Thunar. When I open the volumes on my desktop, it always uses Nautilus.
Is there any way to standardize these, so that I use either Thunar or Nautilus, but not both? And how do I switch back and forth? Where can I reset the Unity launcher to use Nautilus again?
