    I cannot open any of my Office files; Word, Excel, Powerpoint

    I am working in Windows 10 home version 1909.
    Can not afford an upgrade.
    My Office files are old, dont know what version.
    Cant remember how I updated this laptop to Windows 10 months ago.
    PROBLEM:
    I can not open any of my Office files; Word, Excel, Powerpoint.
    I looked for my Windows old file as suggested, and it IS gone.
    Haveing a small breakdown, will step away and return in a few...ANY DIRECTIONS AND ANSWERS WOULD BE GREAT!!!!!! PLEASE WRITE THEM IN STEP BY STEP FORMAT. Thankyooouuuuuuuu!

  3. ALL OF MY EXCEL & WORD DOC FILES

    Hi Daniel,

    We would like to know more about your concern. For better assistance, please answer the following questions:

    • What is the build and version of your Windows 10?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    • Are the Excel and Word documents the only files affected?

    Regards.

    How do I search by file type e.g. Word, Excel in Windows 10?

    File search types in the Windows 10 file explorer search (using words)

    Hi

    I am trying to find out how I can search for specific files from the File Explorer.

    So far, I have found out that you can search for files with specific names if you type "name:<name>" into the search input field.

    Were can I find a list of the verbose search commands i.e. a list of the words+column character I should use to search files by other properties than their name?

    For example, what should I type if I am trying to list files by file type:

    filetype:<whatever>

    or

    type:<whatever>

    or what?

    I know that there is a Search toolbar, but I would like to just type the search into the search field to speed up the process. Also, I do not wish to use Cortana et al. I'd just like to use plain simple verbose search....

    Thanks
