I use office home and student 2013, when in excel or word I cannot attach a file to email, both give different reasons, I have Gmail as an app on desktop and openExcel

:)

 

Cannot open WORD of EXCEL email attachments

The answer is not helpful. How does one get from the Control Panel in Windows 10 to Microsoft Office in order to "repair" it?

"Upgrading" to Microsoft 10 before it was thoroughly de-bugged may be a major mistake,

 

Word and Excel 2013 now crash when I try to print or edit-Outlook OK

Trying to print or edit in Office 2013 Word and Excel now causes the program to crash. Outlook works fine.

the following have not fixed the problem.

1. Repair install of Office 2013
2. Uninstall (with Revo Pro) and then full re-install
3. Uninstall and then reinstall of the HP Laserjet printer drive.

What is my next step, short of nuking the entire Win installation and starting over (ugh!)???

 

Cannot open WORD of EXCEL email attachments

• Since switch to Windows 10 from 7 I have not been able to open Word or Excel docs that are attached to emails.
• I get 'This file is corrupt and cannot be opened' or Word experienced an error trying to open this file'
• I cannot save these files although jpeg files can be opened
• I use Windows Live Mail, NHSmail (a secure NHS system) and also TalkTalk webmail for an old Tiscali address
• I have tried DCOMCNFG procedure but this does not change any settings as they are already in the recommended setting
• If I attach a document (Word or Excel) to my own email and then try to open the document (from the e-mail) before sending it the computer comes up with the error statements in 2 above
• The only way around this is if I forward a received email (with attachment) to a friend who then opens the attachment and saves it to memory stick. If I then plug the stick into my computer I can open the document and save it to my computer.
• Please help, I've already wasted a day!
