Hi,

I am unable to send any document as this error message keeps coming up:

This error can occur if you attempt to send a Word document as an e-mail attachment in Word and the MAPI session was closed and Word is no longer able to connect to that MAPI session. It can also occur if there is a problem with the fax configuration.

To correct a MAPI related error: restart the MAPI e-mail program (for example,Outlook) or save and close the document, and then restart Word after restarting your MAPI e-mail application. Word will establish a new MAPI session, allowing the document to be sent.

To correct a problem with the fax configuration, review the configuration settings for your fax software and make the appropriate changes.

However I am able to email from email account as attachments.

I am running Windows 7 Home

Windows Live Mail 2012

Outlook.com 2010

I have successfully uploaded a word document to Skydrive. When I select to open it and edit in word, I get a message saying "we're opening your document in Microsoft word" but nothing happens. The document is too large to edit in Word App. I am using Skydrive on a PC with Google chrome and Windows XP. Any ideas on how I can edit my document in word? 
I spent two hours last night creating a Word document for a project.  I used my home computer and saved it to SkyDrive.  This morning the file is not there when I try to access it from my work computer or the Internet.  The folder I created for the file is there, but the Word document is gone.  What's wrong?

Hi,

I coordinate an Adopt a Child for Christmas event.  Here's the problem we are looking to fix.   We send out the list of children as a Word document by email.  Can we use Skydrive to coordinate the sponsors; as in, once the list goes out can they put their name next to the child they select so that the next person who opens the Skydrive file will see which children have already been chosen and which are still available?  What I'm thinking is that as people select the children the next person who opens the document (usually the second time they open it, not when they first receive the invite) they can see who selected the other children and we don't have the problem of receiving email responses from five people wanted to adopt the same child.

 

Hope you can help me,

Michele

Hi Whenever i try to open either an excel or word document on my web skydrive account i get the following message.....

I use windows explorer 9, Microsoft office 2007 and my operating system is Window's vista home premium.

 

 

Can anyone offer any help please?

This is my first time to use skydirve. I have downloaded skydrive desktop app, and there is a Skydrive file in my E drive. When I copy file into Skydrive file, it suppose to upload all file in the Skydirve file to Skydrive. However, it only upload picture, txt file and all other documents beside excel and word documents. It that skydrive only work that way or i did something wrong with setting or something else?

 

However, when i go to skydrive.com, i can upload excel and word documents.

Hi,

I just have a quick question I have a document in a skydrive folder that is synced in my PC and when I open the document it randomly opens the documents in the protected view, so I need to go to edit mode and then when it's time to save I try to do it but I can't as the other document is still there....

If this only happened once or two... it would be admissible, but this is always happening... and it only happens with the files that are synced with skydrive

Also this happened both with win8 and 8.1

This has occurred 3 times.  Steps to reproduce:

 

  1. Navigate to my local version on my HD to upload it to a Web page form submission
  2. Do the same the next day, only file has disappeared from both local and the Skydrive folder
  3. Find it in the Recycle Bin, then do a Restore

The only thing different about this Word document is that 'Read Only Recommended' is checked. I have since unchecked it and saved it and will see if that is the problem.

Scenario:

1) I have 1 excel file (xlsx) that contains hyperlinks to several .docx documents. These links work when running on local PC (not SkyDrive).

2) After uploading all documents to SkyDrive, I open the xlsx from SkyDrive using web app and the hyperlinks don't work (Problem#1).

3) So then I right-click on the xlsx to open this file with MS Excel and the file opens in MSExcel.

4) Then, when clicking on a hyperlink, the expected Word document opened in MSWord and the focus was on the right bookmark. (perfect!)

5) But, successive clicking on other hyperlinks in the xlsx file, the Word document opened in the web browser instead and the focus did not take me to the bookmark. It didn't matter which hyperlink to which different Word document I clicked on, the Word document would open in the web browser and NOT take me to the bookmark. (Problem#2).

6) Then, clicking on the first hyperlink again does not work as originally experienced. Remember in step #4, this hyperlink perfectly opened the Word document in MSWord and took me to the bookmark. Now, this hyperlink also opens the Word document in the web browser with the failed focus on the bookmark. (Problem#3).

 

Problem#1 - I want the hyperlinks from Excel file to Word document to work when opening from SkyDrive and viewing in web app.

Problem#2 and #3 - Because Problem#1 is persistent, I want the hyperlink action to open the Word document in MSWord consistently. It worked on a few hyperlinks originally but now NO hyperlinks works by opening Word document in MSWord. All hyperlinks are opening Word documents in web browser but because the action is failing to take me to the bookmarks, this doesn't work for me.

 

Thanks!

 

Problem#4 - Where the heck do you find the version of SkyDrive? When posting a question, I'm asked to select a version of SkyDrive and from the list provided there are SO many to choose from but it's not clear which one I'm taken to by default when logging in.

 

Have a Sony Vaio 11 with Windows 8 Pro.

When I try to open any Excel or Word document saved on my Skydrive account I receive the following message: "We're sorry, we couldn't open your workbook. It's possibly corrupt or using a file format that's not supported. Do you want to try and open this file in Excel?"

 

I then receive the following message when I attempt to open the file using my desktop application of Excel:

"We're sorry. We can't open the file because we found a problem with its contents."

 

The issue started on September 19th 2013. Any file saved post the 19th are fully accessible and without issue.

 

All other files including Adobe Photoshop, PowerPointe and wiebsite shortcuts open without issue.

 

Thoughts for resolution?

 

Thanks.
