Office 2007 documents opening at zip files

Can somebody tell me why office 2007 documents, i.e. word and excel open as zip files when attached to an OTRS call. Thanks, Rosanna Marretta

Hi, The new office 2007 format differs a lot from previous versions (open XML I think?) Either way I had this problem with a website I was hosting off apache, so this issue isn't specific to OTRS (afaik), but with apache itself.

Hi David,
Thank you very much for your reply. I tried what it told me to do on
the website, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. The apache server
(apache2) is running on a linux server.

Hi Rosanna, I've just checked another webserver I had this problem with, this is how I got around it (bear in mind that prior to this I had absolutely no apache experience, so apologies if this is the wrong way to approach this). In my .htaccess file in my web root I've added the following: AddType application/vnd.ms-word.document.macroEnabled.12 .docm AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document docx AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.template dotx AddType application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.template.macroEnabled.12 potm AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.template potx AddType application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.addin.macroEnabled.12 ppam AddType application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.slideshow.macroEnabled.12 ppsm AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.slideshow ppsx AddType application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.presentation.macroEnabled.12 pptm AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation pptx AddType application/vnd.ms-excel.addin.macroEnabled.12 xlam AddType application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.binary.macroEnabled.12 xlsb AddType application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.macroEnabled.12 xlsm AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet xlsx AddType application/vnd.ms-excel.template.macroEnabled.12 xltm AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.template xltx I think you can put this into a .conf file. (httpd.conf?) Give that a shot, and let us know how you get on :) Regards, David On Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 2:41 PM, Marretta, Rosanna < Rosanna.Marretta@yrclogistics.com> wrote:

Sorry - forgot to mention that you will need to restart your apache service
after making these changes.

Hi David,
I tried this with another browser such as Google Chrome and it worked
fine. Looks like the problem lies with Internet Explorer.

Hi Rosanna, That rings a bell with my previous problem. It worked with Firefox but not with IE, but after I made that change IE was then able to properly identify office 2007 filetypes. On Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 3:09 PM, Marretta, Rosanna < Rosanna.Marretta@yrclogistics.com> wrote:
