Hello,
hi everyone. I regularly face this problem: Windows users send me files via email that I can't open (mime type), what should I do? Thanks in advance. I'm on OSX with a MacBook
Configuration: Mac OS X Safari 523.12

Word and Excel files must open with NeoOffice, see this message:

Perform the indicated action, once with a Word file, then with an Excel (xls) file. It must work.

Hello,
there may be missing codecs in QuickTime, or QuickTime settings to modify, please read this page:

Thank you for taking the time to respond to me. I modified the codecs as indicated on the discussion page you recommended, but I'm not getting anywhere. In fact, when I double-click on the file, I always get this page: your evaluation version of Microsoft has expired. You understand, I downloaded this some time ago just to try it out and I didn't purchase the product. What should I do now?

In this case, the problem is no longer a QTime or codec issue.. :-)
What we're asking you now is to use software other than the demo version. I don't know what the software in question is, but if it's part of the Microsoft Office suite, try opening it with a free and compatible suite with MS Office.
I'm thinking of NeoOffice, which is very good here: https://www.neooffice.org/neojava/fr/index.php
Also consider downloading the French language kit and the latest patch.

If it is a software other than the MS Office suite, you need to find compatible software or buy the software..

Now I can open .doc files but not .xls ones. Do you see where the problem is?

Thank you for the effort you're putting into solving my problems, but I can't open this Excel file. I followed the steps you indicated, namely Command-I, then selecting "Neo" and "Edit All," but when I double-click on the file, the outdated version still opens. Where am I making a mistake?
