OWA 2003 prompts to save Office 2007 attachments and then zips theI have OWA 2003 and Office 2007 on my computer. Whenever I get an Office 2007
document and open it in OWA 2003 it prompts me to save and then when it saves it zips the file. How do I stop this? It doesn't seem to do this on all computers. I have edited the MIME to allow the Office 2007 file extensions. Please help. This might help. This was on Experts Exchange and I am still searching for a
Microsoft doc... Cause:The portion of Exchange that converts the outlook MAPI message to the OWA readable MIME message does not know about the new office2007 file formats. Fix:Add the Office 2007 content types to Exchange so that the conversion process knows about them. This is done through the Exchange System Manager. Each of the content types is a string, and then has a file extension associated with it. You will add the string and the associated file extension to ESM like this: 1. Open ESM. 2. Expand the Global Setting Branch 3. Right Click on Internet Message Formats and choose Properties. This brings up the current list of known MIME content types. 4. You might want to peruse the list at this point and confirm that the office document extensions are not in the list. For example, lets use docx as the extension we are adding for this test. You look and confirm that docx is not already in the list. 5. Click the Add button. CAREFULLY copy and paste the MIME type into the provided textbox (no leading or trailing spaces), and then enter docx in the extension checkbox. 6. OK out of all the dialogs 7. Restart the Information Store Service to ensure that store gets the new list. 8. Restart outlook if it was open and send a new test email with a docx file. Also for comparison sake send a mail with the same attachment using OWA. 9. Use OWA to read both messages sent in step 8. Confirm that the attachment behavior is the same. application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation pptx application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.slide sldx application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.slideshow ppsx application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.template potx application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet xlsx application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.template xltx application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document docx application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.template dotx Show quoteHide quote "Niki W." wrote: > I have OWA 2003 and Office 2007 on my computer.
